Dear Parents / carers

Eaton Vale meeting CHANGE OF DATE

Unfortunately, due to unavoidable circumstances we have had to change the date of

the Eaton Vale parent meeting to Wednesday 26th February at 3.15pm.

Request from Pine Class

After the half term break, Mrs Easter will be undertaking a craft activity with the

children in Pine Class. They are going to each need a shoebox (no lid required) so if

are shopping for new shoes over half term, please hold on to the box and send it in

with your child. Thank you.

Open Morning

As mentioned in an earlier newsletter, we will be holding an open morning on 20th

May. It will run from 10 to 11:30 (like last year). Parents will be able to spend some

time in their child’s class, attend collective worship, go out to play with their

children and finish with a cup of tea or coffee and a chat with me.

Sport Sport Sport

The last couple of weeks has seen Morley taking part in a number of sporting events

out of school.

SNSPS Basketball tournament at Framingham Earl High school on the 5th February

saw Morley 1 place second and Morley 2 place first. Well done to all that

participated in the event you all played to the best of your ability and showed great

sportsmanship during the match play!

On Friday 7th February we took some swimmers to Wymondham Leisure Centre to

take part in the SNSPS Swimming gala. It was a lovely morning of swimming and

sportsmanship, with the children showing great Morley School spirit and superb

behaviour. I had some lovely feedback about our children’s behaviour from teaching

staff from other schools with comments of how kind they were; supporting others

and how well they sat and conducted themselves. One very proud coach!!

On Wednesday 12th February, we took three children to the UEA to take part in the

SNSPS Panathlon. George E has kindly written the following report:

On Wednesday morning, Ashley, Aimee and George E went to the UEA in Norwich, to take part in the school games, representing South Norfolk.

We all took part in eight different sports, like basketball, football, bowling, bean bag throwing, target throwing, ball throwing and disk sliding.

We all enjoyed it.

Ashley said, “my favourite sport was bowling.”

Aimee said, “ my favourite sport was the bean bag throwing and bowling”.

George said, “I liked it very much. My favourite sport was football.”

Everyone got a medal and our team came 4th place with 36 points.

If it is helpful for budgeting, you are able to ‘drip-feed’ smaller payments at any

time on your child’s SchoolMoney account. If the trip has suggested installment

amounts and dates due, you can overwrite the amount at any time.
