Thursday, August 24, 2023 – BINUS SCHOOL Simprug
By: Indira Wirasatria and Geertruida Maya

This academic year, Early Years teachers have agreed to have a mini-assembly every month. All EY students aged 3- to 5-year-old meet up in the Basement 1 mirror area. Some of the purposes of the mini-assembly are:

1. To make the students meet and greet other EY children from different grade levels.
2. To maintain the students’ well-being by doing exercises, games, and other learning engagements in a fun way.
3. To build the students’ skills and learner profile attributes.
4. To introduce and show the Binusian “SPIRIT” values.

During the first mini-assembly, the students could practice singing the Binus School of Education song and follow simple instructions from the video while doing the exercise. By doing these two activities, the students practice their listening and self-management skills.

After the exercise, the students played the “Simon Says” game. The teacher gave instructions to make the students aware of their body parts. The teacher gave them some tricky instructions to make it more fun and challenging.

At the end of the assembly, the students did the traffic light reflection. Most students chose the green light, meaning they were having fun. They were also looking forward to joining the next assembly.

Assembly can sometimes be simple as long as the students can develop their skills and have fun doing it.
