GIS Primary Students Shine in the Magical Shrek The Musical Jr.

This June, we showcased our latest Primary production, Shrek The Musical Jr., and we couldn’t be prouder of our talented Primary students who presented this magical production. It was truly a captivating experience that transported all of us into the whimsical world of Shrek, filled with laughter, heartwarming moments, and unforgettable songs.

Shrek The Musical Jr. is an enchanting adaptation of the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, and it took the audience on a remarkable journey. From Shrek’s quest to rescue Princess Fiona from a tower guarded by a fire-breathing dragon to the hilarious encounters with characters like Donkey and the villainous Lord Farquaad, the musical delivered a heartwarming reminder that true beauty lies within.

Our Primary students showcased their incredible talent and dedication as they brought the beloved characters of Shrek to life on stage. They rehearsed tirelessly, pouring energy and creativity into their performances, and the result was a mesmerising show that delighted everyone who attended.

I am immensely proud of the number of students involved in this year’s Primary production and the tremendous effort they have put in over this term.

Nicola Nelson (Head of Primary)

The performances of Shrek The Musical Jr. took place at the Grand Hall on 12th, 13th & 14th June, and the response from the 1300-strong audience over the three days was overwhelmingly positive. It was heartwarming to see families, students, and members of the local community come together to support our Primary students and experience the magic of live theatre.

 

As we celebrate the success of Shrek The Musical Jr., we remain committed to fostering creativity and talent in our students. Our Music and Drama club serves as a platform for artistic exploration and provides opportunities for our students to develop essential skills, build confidence, and form strong social connections. Shrek The Musical Jr. was a true testament to the remarkable synergy between music and drama at Garden International School.

Primary Curriculum: Year 3 to 6
Year 3 to 6

Key Stage 2 (age 7 to 11)

Year 3 to 6 Curriculum

Introduction

This stage builds upon the foundations laid in the Early Years and Key Stage 1, preparing children for the next phase of their education. English is taught daily with a strong emphasis on the development of speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. The development of practical, mental and applied mathematics is achieved through our mathematics lessons.

In Years 5 and 6, French and Spanish are added to the World Languages programme. Students can decide to continue learning the Asian language they have been learning or replace this choice with one of the European languages. Either way, they will still have the opportunity to learn the other language as part of the language club programme after school. Homework is provided throughout the school, and is aimed at consolidating skills taught at school and encouraging parents to play an active role in their children’s education.

Children’s progress is assessed throughout Key Stages 1 and 2 to ensure we have a good understanding of their ongoing progress, individual abilities and to ensure their future needs are met.

Primary Curriculum: Year 1 & 2
Year 1 & 2

Key Stage 1 (age 5 to 7)

Year 1 & 2 Curriculum

Introduction

The first key stage of school welcomes children from Early Years into the Primary School and encourages each child to continue their development and maintain the fun, active approach to learning. Information Communication Technology (ICT) is used to support the learning process. Classroom-based learning along with a broad co-curricular programme and education outside the classroom ensure we provide a holistic education for your child.

The majority of learning takes place in the nurturing environment of the classroom facilitated by the classroom teacher and assistant teachers. Specialist teachers support the teaching of Art, Music, ICT and Physical Education. In World Languages, students learn Mandarin or Bahasa Malaysia – the national language, helping them to develop the skills and passion to learn an additional language in depth. Students also have the opportunity to explore other languages as a part of the language club programme which happens after school. Science, History, Geography, Design Technology and Drama are taught through our exciting Topic Curriculum which is underpinned by the ‘Golden Threads’ of Intercultural Learning and Social and Emotional Learning.

GIS utilises both the classroom and education opportunities outside the classroom to provide a programme that develops World Changers. At GIS we believe that our responsibility goes beyond producing outstanding academic results. We are fully committed to providing a holistic, well-balanced education.
