POV: You’re a lucky EC kid trying our new playground in the expanded Early Childhood learning areas!
At OWIS, play = learning. Every slide, tunnel, and climbing frame sparks curiosity, builds motor skills, and encourages teamwork — all while having fun.

📚 Book Week recap! What a novel week it has been.
We had everything from cosy Family Booknics (huge thanks to parents for the support!) to our Torchlight reading in the dark, it was an amazing celebration of reading.
But the fun didn`t stop there. The Grand Finale, our Book Character Parade saw our campus come alive with witches, superheroes, crayons and everything in between.
We hope Book Week ignited your joy for reading and more than just reading, Book Week`s about living the stories we love, together as a community that celebrates imagination and creativity. What was your favourite Book Week moment?

Our EC3s came in like a wrecking ball at Kidz Amaze Indoor Playground last week and did tons of climbing, sliding, and exploring!
But more than just play, our IB PYP students discovered how people adapt to different spaces and how environments are designed for safety, movement, and fun. Real-life learning has never been this fun!

Last week the @ausgirlschoir came down and hit all the right notes. Not only did they give us a an amazing and note-worthy performance during assembly, they also gave our students a quick workshop on singing!
It was definitely an eye (and ear) opening experience and you know what? We might just be launching our very own Primary Choir. So make sure you`re following us to be the first to hear about it!
Big thank you to @ispa_singapore for partnering with us to make this visit possible and inspiring our students.

Our Grades 9–11 students brought the stage to life with their very first 🎭 Lunch Repertoire Performance of the academic year — a refreshing and inspiring showcase that beautifully ties into their IGCSE and IBDP Drama coursework.
The following week, they took their learning beyond the classroom with a visit to LASALLE College of the Arts, where they watched graduating students perform their final production.
Experiencing theatre at a near-professional level left our young performers deeply inspired to refine their craft and explore new creative dimensions.
Here’s to more expression, collaboration, and artistic growth ahead, both on and off the stage!

It wasn’t just the 🌝 moon shining the brightest during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) last week, our campus was glowing too!
The festival was the perfect occasion for our students to showcase their creativity as they painted lanterns, sang festive songs, and even tried their hand at making mooncakes.
At OWIS, we believe that celebrating cultural traditions like these helps our learners deepen their appreciation for diversity and develop a true sense of global citizenship. ❤️
How did you celebrate your 中秋节? We hope it was filled with joy, family, and loved ones!

Inventing their own addition machine to learn how to count? Now that’s impressive.
Our EC3s recently took a big step in numeracy by building and using their very own addition machine — helping them count confidently up to 10!
Across three lessons, children:
🔢 Practised writing number sentences using + and =
🗣️ Explored mathematical language like “_ and _ makes _”
🤝 Strengthened their understanding of number bonds
It’s been wonderful to watch our IB PYP learners’ confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm shine through. Amazing work EC3, you’re driving full speed ahead on your maths journey!

📚 From OWIS Classrooms to a Top Seller on Amazon India!
Did you know that a book featuring stories by our students became a top seller on Amazon India? 🌟
Building on that success, our Grade 5 students were delighted to welcome Ms. Puja Bhandari, the author, publisher, and motivational speaker who made that dream possible, for a special Parent Talk session.
She inspired our young IB PYP learners by showing them how to write with both purpose and passion, while also offering a glimpse into the exciting journey of publishing and promoting a book. Her talk sparked curiosity, imagination, and confidence, encouraging students to picture themselves as future authors and creators.
We’re excited to be working towards another opportunity to see our students’ stories published and celebrated!

A poetry slam at school? Close enough.
Our Grade 4s turned lunchtime into a Poem Recital, bringing their words to life with expression, imagination, and vivid imagery.
Seeing them on stage, sharing their poems with friends and teachers, was a true testament to their confidence and creativity—a reminder of how the IB PYP at OWIS nurtures self-expression, critical thinking, and the joy of sharing ideas with an audience.

Recently, our Grade 2 and 4 students explored the amazing Once Upon a Tide exhibition to see how Singapore`s history shapes our food, lifestyle, and healthier choices!
They also discovered why and how people migrate to Singapore, creating the vibrant melting pot of cultures and traditions we celebrate today. After all, diversity and kindness are at the heart of OWIS!

Sad or glad, happy or mad, rhymes help show the feelings we’ve had!
Our IB PYP young learners explored rhyming words connected to emotions and senses, linking language learning with self-expression.
As they identified, read, and classified rhyming words, they strengthened communication and thinking skills while showing off their Inquirer and Reflective learner profiles. Maybe rapping could be a useful skill to have after all to have!
