Middleton International Schools and Pre-School

During Languages Week, our language departments and students come together to create experiential journeys that celebrate culture, language and connection.

As learners visit the French, Hindi and Mandarin corners, they play, feel, create, taste and experience different cultures firsthand. Through these authentic cultural experiences, learners see how language extends beyond words, connecting them to people, traditions, perspectives and everyday life.

These meaningful moments bring language learning to life, encouraging curiosity, appreciation and a deeper understanding of the diverse communities around us. ❤️

Our high school students took part in the first session of a two-part Public Speaking Workshop series, led by Ms Susan, Head of Secondary Pastoral Care.

In Part 1, Own the Room, our students explored what makes an effective public speaker, looking beyond words to consider confidence, presence, body language, delivery and audience connection. Through discussion and interactive activities, they reflected on how much we communicate even before we speak, and how meaningful connections help keep an audience engaged.

The session also connected closely with Middleton’s value of Confidence, encouraging students to express their ideas clearly and communicate with greater impact.

Students also attended an academic counselling session with Ms Hui Qin, focusing on UCAS and UK university applications as they continue exploring future pathways beyond Grade 12.

As part of our upper primary Going Global inquiry unit, our learners had the opportunity to connect with a special guest from our parent community, a passionate mariner who shared his insights into the world of ships and global trade.

Through his sharing, our learners explored how ships connect nations and people, and how real-world events can shape the movement of goods around the world. The session also helped them make meaningful connections to the unit’s big idea: how what we buy and consume can impact the lives and societies of people around the world.

What a meaningful reminder that learning extends beyond the classroom, enriched by the expertise, experiences and perspectives within our wider school community.

Our primary learners have had an exciting week in their inquiry unit, Shake It!, exploring how materials behave and change through hands-on scientific investigations.

From digital simulations of particles in solids, liquids, and gases to creating oobleck, testing vinegar and balloon reactions, and carrying out a butter-melting investigation, learners make predictions, observe closely, and record their findings. They also explore physical and chemical changes, reversible and irreversible changes, and the importance of fair testing by changing only one variable at a time.

All experiments were concluded safe and sound, with plenty of curiosity, learning and excitement along the way!

Our secondary learners explore mindfulness and resilience through a meaningful session led by our Student Council team.

Our Student Council Representatives share practical strategies with their friends for staying calm under pressure, facing challenges and bouncing back from setbacks. The session ended with various fun bonding experiences, where our learners guided and supported one another through a teamwork game.

This is a thoughtful reminder that resilience grows not only through individual effort, but also through the encouragement and connection we build as a community.

Congratulations to our Singapore Kangaroo Math Challenge 2026 award winners!

This morning’s assembly celebrated our learners’ achievements, with 7 Gold, 11 Silver, 50 Bronze and 28 Honourable Mention awards received. We are also proud of all 324 participants who took on the challenge, showing confidence, perseverance and a love for mathematical thinking.

Well done to all our young mathematicians!

We welcome our Grade 5 and 6 students back from Bintan Island Camp, where learning extended beyond the classroom.

Across the camp, learners took part in outdoor challenges, sailing experiences and environmental learning that encouraged them to step outside their comfort zones. Our Grade 6s explored navigation, wind direction, boat design and the history of migration by sailboat, while our Grade 5s deepened their understanding of conservation through learning about hawksbill sea turtles and mangrove swamps.

Through this camp experience, our learners lived out the Middleton values of collaboration, confidence, resilience and responsibility in meaningful and memorable ways.

Our Grade 1 learners continue their Green Fingers inquiry unit by taking their learning outdoors on a nature walk.

As they observe the school environment, learners identify plants, discuss what they already know about them, and begin exploring the differences between living and non-living things. Back in the classroom and around school, they have fun classifying the objects and living things they notice, using their observations to support their thinking.

Follow along as our learners build curiosity, vocabulary and early scientific understanding through real-world exploration.
