Senam Rutin Bumkal

Pada tanggal 14 September 2022 pukul 07.00 – selesai di SD Negeri 3 Kembangsari melaksanakan senam pagi bersama di lapangan sekolah dengan diikuti sekitar 90 % anak didik mulai dari kelas 1 sampai kelas 6. senam pagi ini merupakan kegiatan rutin setiap minggu yang dilaksanakan di sekolah kami. Senam pagi merupakan sebuah olahraga kebugaran jasmani yang menyehatkan sekaligus dapat mencegah dari berbagai macam penyakit. selain itu olahraga sangat bermanfaat bagi perkembangannya secara psikologis sehingga dengan olahraga anak akan berkembang menjadi anak yang kuat dan sehat.

manfaat senam irama untuk anak agar ia semakin bersemangat untuk berolahraga.

1.Meningkatkan kondisi fisik dan fleksibilitas

Jika anak pernah mengikuti gerakan-gerakan yang dilakukan dalam rutinitas senam irama, pasti ia mengerti sekali tentang manfaat yang satu ini. Senam irama membutuhkan gerakan yang sulit, yang menguji elastisitas anak. Selain itu, senam irama dapat mencegah menurunnya fleksibilitas selama bertahun-tahun. Stabilitas yang dituntut dari senam irama ini membuat otot anak menjadi lebih kuat. Ini juga membantu membakar kalori dan meningkatkan metabolisme, nafsu makan, dan pola tidur yang berkualitas.

2.Meningkatkan koordinasi, keseimbangan, dan ketepatan gerakan

Salah satu aspek terbaik dari senam irama adalah melibatkan seluruh tubuh. Dengan setiap gerakan, pikiran anak berkoordinasi dengan tubuh. Koordinasi, keseimbangan, dan ketepatan gerakan yang ia pelajari juga dapat digunakan untuk kegiatan olahraga lainnya. Akibatnya, anak dapat berharap untuk meningkatkan keterampilannya jika memutuskan untuk mencoba olahraga lain sebagai hobi.

Sederhananya, senam irama dapat membantu anak mengasah keterampilannya, sehingga ia akan lebih efektif dalam aktivitas dan olahraga lain yang disukai.

3.Melatih konsentrasi

Manfaat senam irama ternyata tak hanya dari segi fisik saja. Senam irama juga menuntut anak untuk mengikuti gerakan yang ditunjukkan oleh instruktur senam di hadapannya.

Anak tentu tidak dapat begitu saja mengabaikan apa yang sang instruktur lakukan. Akibatnya, memori dan perhatian anak juga bekerja. Yups tak diragukan lagi, senam irama adalah latihan yang membuat seluruh tubuh bekerja.

4.Meningkatkan kepercayaan diri

Selain bermanfaat untuk fisik dan kognitif, percaya atau tidak, senam irama juga memiliki manfaat dalam hal harga diri anak. Satu hal yang perlu diperhatikan adalah bahwa terlepas dari usia dan kemampuan anak, keterampilan yang dibutuhkan dalam olahraga ini cukup mudah dikuasai. Sehingga, akan mudah bagi anak untuk merasa baik dan bangga dengan diri sendiri. Ketika menguasai senam irama, anak juga pasti akan merasa senang dan percaya diri. Ini adalah awal yang sangat baik untuknya. Setelah anak mendapatkan kepercayaan diri yang dibutuhkan, ia dapat lebih meningkatkan keterampilan baru lainnya dengan belajar lebih lanjut.

5.Meningkatkan interaksi sosial dan dinamika kelompok

Melakukan senam irama adalah cara yang bagus untuk mengembangkan keterampilan sosial anak. Karena tentu saja olahraga ini melibatkan interaksi sosial dengan banyak orang lain, yang dalam kasus ini adalah teman-teman sekolah anak atau guru. Interaksi sehari-hari ini akan membantu anak untuk membuka diri terhadap lingkungan dan orang lain, sehingga ia akan lebih mudah untuk berkomunikasi dan membentuk ikatan khusus seperti persahabatan.

6.Meningkatkan keterampilan musikalitas

Manfaat lain yang tak kalah penting adalah senam irama dapat meningkatkan keterampilan musikalitas anak. Karena senam ini selalu dilakukan dengan musik, anak akan dihadapkan pada gaya musik yang berbeda. Sehingga membantunya mengembangkan apresiasi musik lebih jauh lagi. Selain itu, senam irama juga bisa meningkatkan kemampuan anak dalam mengekspresikan diri melalui musik. Ini bisa menjadi saluran yang luar biasa bagi anak untuk membiarkannya tenggelam dalam kesenangan musik dan gerakannya.

Hari ini kegiatan senam pagi dilakukan di lapangan Sekolah Dasar Negeri 3 Kembangsari berjalan dengan lancar dan baik, karena semua siswa siswi dan seluruh guru ikut melakukan senam dengan semangat. Mari selalu berolahraga menuju hidup sehat. Badan sehat proses pembelajaran pun berjalan dengan lancar. prestasipun meningkat. semangaaatt…..

Lomba Debat Dialetics

Jakarta, Kemendikbud –Sorak-sorai siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) ramai terdengar. Sesekali, mereka bertepuk-tangan, serukan jargon-jargon penyemangat bagi tim perwakilan yang maju ke depan podium. Malam itu, Jumat (19/5/2017) Penutupan Lomba Debat Bahasa Jenjang SMA seluruh Indonesia berlangsung, di Slipi, Jakarta Barat. Sebanyak dua jenis lomba yang diselenggarakan, yaitu Lomba Debat Bahasa Indonesia (LDBI), dan National School Debating Championship (NSDC).

Purwadi, Direktur Pembinaan SMA Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Dit. Pembinaan SMA Ditjen Dikdasmen Kemendikbud), mengungkapkan kedua kompetisi ini sebagai bagian dari penguatan pendidikan karakter bagi para siswa SMA.

“Disini ditunjukkan, prestasi diraih dengan latihan-latihan, ada semangat yang terlihat dan tidak boleh padam,” ujar Direktur Purwadi, saat penutupan lomba di Jakarta, Jumat malam (19-5-2017).

Semangat itu, lanjut Direktur Purwadi, harus berfungsi sebagai pemicu untuk berprestasi di kompetisi yang lain.

“Jangan sampai padam saat ini, dan tinggikan cita-cita, sekarang sudah meraih prestasi tingkat nasional, siapkan diri untuk ikuti kompetisi selanjutnya di tingkat internasional,” jelasnya.

Selain itu, para peserta diberikan pembekalan pendidikan karakter melalui seminar Pencegahan dan Penanggulan Bahaya Narkotika, dan Pencegahan Tindak Korupsi.

Lomba terselenggara selama tujuh hari, dari tanggal 14 s.d. 20 Mei 2017. Sebanyak 34 tim perwakilan dari 34 provinsi untuk masing-masing lomba bersaing dalam turnamen tahunan ini. Setiap tim terdiri dari tiga orang siswa yang terpilih dari seleksi individual di tingkat provinsi. Total peserta tahun ini meliputi 102 siswa SMA mengikuti NSDC dan 102 siswa unjuk gigi di ajang LDBI.

Nantinya, selain bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi siswa SMA, kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat mendorong siswa agar terbiasa menyampaikan pendapat dengan baik, berpikir kritis, kreatif, analitis, konstruktif, serta mampu bersikap sportif.

Anggardha Anindito, 16, peraih juara 1st Best Speaker untuk National Schools Debating Championship 2017, mengakui kompetisi debat sangat berguna bagi para pelajar untuk memahami kondisi sekitar.

“Ada sekitar sembilan topik mulai dari babak penyisihan hingga final dan topik itu seputar politik, ekonomi, hukum dan kebijakan internasional,” jelas Anindito usai penyerahan piagam penghargaan.

Dengan memahami isu-isu tersebut, Anindito berpendapat, dapat lebih memahami, dan bersikap terhadap persoalan-persoalan yang ada di sekitar.

Dia mencontohkan ketika mendapatkan pilihan topik berupa Feminisme dapat menghancurkan sistem kapitalisme. Ketika mendapatkan pilihan topik tersebut, dia mengakui mendapatkan tantangan bagaimana bersikap terhadap posisi perempuan di sektor-sektor ekonomi.

“Saya berada di posisi pro dan harus berikan pendapat mengenai bagaimana Feminisme dapat menghancurkan sistem kapitalisme,” jelasnya.

Menurutnya, keberadaan sistem kapitalis tidak memberikan kesempatan bagi kaum perempuan untuk menempati sektor perekonomian karena sistem ini mengacu pada perolehan profit.

“Sistem kapitalisme itu sebabkan perempuan itu tidak memperbolehkan perempuan berada di atas, karena mereka mengejar profit sehingga hasilkan permasalahan sosial seperti adanya patriarki yang kuat,” ujarnya.

Pilihan-pilihan argumen, menurutnya, buktikan bagaimana peduli terhadap permasalahan sekitar.

“Pelajar itu harus peduli (kepada semua isu) karena itu berefek ke kalian sebagai generasi penerus, dan harus utarakan yang ada di pikiran kalian mengenai masalah-masalah tersebut,” tegasnya.

Tim asal Jawa Tengah menjuarai Lomba Debat Bahasa Indonesia, yaitu Azzahra Jelita Kusuma Pamilih, 16, siswi SMA Taruna Nusantara Magelang; Dania Emeralda Firdausy, 16, siswi SMA Negeri 3 Semarang; Belly Ali Rakhmadhansyah, 16, siswa SMA Taruna Nusantara.

Could impress upon paper all that is living

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of bliss; and then, my friend, when darkness overspreads my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to dwell in my soul and absorb its power, like the form of a beloved mistress, then I often think with longing, Oh, would I could describe these conceptions, could impress upon paper all that is living so full and warm within me, that it might be the mirror of my soul, as my soul is the mirror of the infinite God!

O my friend — but it is too much for my strength — I sink under the weight of the splendour of these visions! A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine.

I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
