Christmas came early to Maltby Redwood on Tuesday when the Maltby and Rother Valley Lions attended Christmas lunch with the children and observed the impact of a previous grant shared to improve the Sensory Room. They then presented Mrs Berry with a cheque for £1000 for further furnishings and resources to complete the project. Everyone at #TeamRedwood is absolutely thrilled and value how this will positively impact on our children. Merry Christmas everyone!

Special thanks to our Student Council members and their families for representing Maltby Redwood Academy at the Remembrance Parade yesterday.

Year 5 turned into food critics this week! They tasted lots of traditional Spanish dishes including Paella, potato tortillas and prawns

Today was Year 6's Stay and Aeroplane event, which was inspired by their English writing based on the short silent film Paperman.

The children created their own paper aeroplanes and competed to see whose flew the furthest. It was lovely to see so many parents and careers attending. Good fun was had by all, great competition and resilience. The winning aeroplane belongs to Emily. Well done everyone.

Last week we held our MLT Literary Festival! The children enjoyed visits from poet Paul Cookson and author Gareth Baker, who performed some of their works and undertook workshops with the classes. The children also had the chance to perform poems they had learned with schools from across the trust, and they all did brilliantly! It was an amazing week full of literacy celebrations.
