School holidays are over, elementary school students have to go back to school to study. Currently Cibening village is free from the Covid-19 pandemic, villagers are doing their activities as usual. Even though they are declared free from Covid-19, the villagers still follow the health protocols to wear masks when going to public places, wash their hands with soap, give greetings without shaking hands.
The children have to play less and start studying again at school. Students on first grade have progressed to second grade and the sixth grade students have also graduated and continue on to a secondary school or Junior High School. There are new students in first grade, they take lessons at school for the first time.
Cibening village does not have a Kindergarten or PAUD (early childhood education), so after the children are six or seven years old they can go straight to elementary school. Usually families help children study before they enter elementary school.
Starting a new school year, one of the teachers, Mr. Heri brought several students to the GoldTeak plantation. The weather was sunny and the students were having fun, singing, playing and learning about plants. Mr. Zaini had to answer many questions from students about the trees planted by GoldTeak, and the benefits of planting trees. They were very happy and they will visit again the plantation next time with more friends.
