Reading is Fun!

Following Boris Johnson’s briefing on 22 February, we are delighted that we will be able to re-open and welcome all girls back to school for on-site teaching on Monday 8 March. Updated guidance for schools was released by the DfE and having reviewed its contents, little will change in terms of procedures and processes that…

Girls in Year 5 have been getting creative writing poetry. Based on the class novel ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’, their poems have to ‘paint a picture in words’ of the sea creatures Michael saw while sailing around the world. These poems show thoughtful use of personification. Well done to Maisa for ‘Dolphin’, Lily for ‘The Spotted Sea…

Girls who are in school have been having fun in the snow today!

This term Year 3 girls have been learning about the Celts and their lifestyle. They had to design a Celtic torc and could have a go at making one. One particular piece of work stood out as the pupil did not use any of the materials suggested (clay, playdough or plasticine) but she used her initiative and turned the task into a baking…

This piece of work is so brilliant we just had to share it. It comes from our Head Girl in Year 6 who has been learning about the Battle of Hastings and wrote this inventive recount of the battle from a soldier’s viewpoint. Amazing work! This is a great example of the Creative Curriculum in…

Everyone at Maltman’s is super proud of how well the girls have taken to distance learning. They’ve been enjoying a blended approach of live lessons, recorded lessons and set work and have showed such enthusiasm!

Just before the end of term, girls in Year 3-6 got the opportunity to design and write a Christmas card for an elderly member of one of local care homes, Rock House and Mulberry Court. The theme for the card was Christmas Angels and we’re sure you will agree their designs are fantastic. These cards…

Our wonderful catering team, Thomas Franks, outdid themselves in the days leading up to the end of term. In an effort to make Christmas during this strange year as festive as possible for the girls, they made gingerbread cookies, mini mince pies, Christmas biscuits and an amazing gingerbread Maltman’s Green!

We are very excited to launch a new project with our Year Librarian team: Best Books of the Week. This is a way for the girls to share their favourite books and spread their love of reading. Each week our Librarian, Mrs Ellis, and the Year 6 librarian team will choose a theme and the girls will select one Pre-Prep and one Prep appropriate book…

We are very excited to be launching new positions of responsibility in the school. This term, we selected a Head Girl from Year 6 to lead the pupils. Maltman’s hasn’t seen a head girl for many years and it’s great to be re-instating this special role. The Head Girl will be supported by her two Deputies and a team of Year 6 Prefects…
