I need to start by thanking everyone for coming
such a wonderful audience. I am sure that you
enjoyed the confident sensitive performances from all the girls. I would
like to thank the parents for their generosity. Our retiring collections for
all the Christmas performances came to an amazingly generous total of
£1325. This money has already been sent to the London and Slough
Run and will make a real difference to the way in which this local and
much needed charity can operate. We were also able to raise another
£365 for the Text Santa appeal from the wearing of Christmas Jumpers
yesterday.
This follows the extremely successful Christmas Fair organised by the
FOMG. Mrs Balding and all the FOMG surpassed themselves, raising
£7145.00 for the FOMG alongside the charitable fundraising for
Children in Need of £1580.60. Thank you to everyone who gave of
their time and energy. We all had a great day.

This is a landmark Year at Maltman’s as it is the year when we
launched the Maltman’s Mindsets. So far this term we have focused on
Perseverance and Collaboration and next term we will focus on
Empathy and Independence before we complete the set of six Mindsets
with Respect and Reflection in the summer term. The response to the
poster competitions has been outstanding. The girls have embraced the
Mindsets and these are now embedded in our curriculum, giving us a
basis for developing the approaches to learning which are so crucial to
each girls’ success.
On another note I would like to say how delighted I am that the DropOff Initiative has been so successful. I genuinely look forward to
Tuesdays when I am on duty. It is our intention to continue with the
stickers for the time being, however, we will be looking next term to find
constructive ways to reward the girls who for whatever reason are
unable to take advantage of this incentive.
I am sure that the girls are ready for a break, not least because they
give so much of themselves during term time. I wish you all a relaxing
and peaceful festive season and look forward to seeing the girls back in
School in January for another stimulating and exciting term.

Mr Hammond’s Challenge IV
This term, Mr Hammond’s Challenge was a flash fiction competition.
Girls were asked to write a 99-word-or-less story with the title
“Surprise”. A fascinating range of stories were entered, ranging from
Year 1 to Year 6. Honourable mentions go to Lucy Evans, Arya Gill,
Zara Saada, Isla Scott, Carmen Tinsley and Maya Tiwana for their
clever use of the narrative structure. The joint winners were Hannah
Hunt (6H) for her tale of Chinese Chequers and Imogen Morgan (1L)
for her story about pearls and a Granny. Well done to all girls. Next
term’s Challenge will be focused loosely around scientific matters.
