Horticultural Show and Summer Fair

What a fantastic 8th Horticultural Show! The entries just get

better and better every year and the judges as always, had a

very difficult task! A very well done to everyone who took

part and congratulations to all our winners. We were

delighted to be able to bring some new things to the fair this year such as our Princess and Unicorn

ponies who were so cute! The Tug-of-War entertainment was a huge success as each side fought

a very close run battle, with the Girls winning the ‘Battle of the Sexes!’ - better luck next time Boys!

We would like to thank the Friends of Cowes Primary for their continued support, they were

delighted to have made over £600 from the raffle and refreshments (and of course the Pimms!)

We would also like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Groves for once again organising this wonderful

event which managed to raise an amazing £1,240! We look forward to the 9th show next year!

Our winners were: Baking: 1st - Mikey Montgomery, 2nd - Seth Howarth & 3rd - Tallulah Pickard Art & Craft: 1st - Tallulah Pickard, 2nd - Chloe Forster & 3rd - Summer Forster

Growing: 1st - Izac Hutton, 2nd - Lily Creed & 3rd - Iris Fellows Best in Show: 1st - Mikey Montgomery, 2nd - Lily Creed & 3rd - Tallulah Pickard

Cowes ‘Cook Off’

What an amazing competition this was!

The three children who took part did a fantastic job in cooking

their chosen recipe. After a very ‘hot’ competition, Angelica Aliani

was announced the winner with her Chicken with peppers in a

mushroom and local blue cheese sauce. Well done to Oren Cooke and Nicole

Taminaya for their valiant efforts.

The competition was judged by Ben Cooke from The Little Gloster restaurant in Gurnard along with

Nicky Ibbertson and Debbie Sibley from our La Cocina Catering Team. The judges were all

impressed by the cooking skills and the amount of local produce used.

Shift It Project Award

We are pleased to announce that the ‘Shift It’ Project have chosen Cowes

Primary to receive their BRONZE Schools Award for their commitment to

travelling to and from school in a more sustainable way. The school had to

pass several criteria to meet the standards needed to achieve this award and

would like to thank everyone for their tremendous effort.

The team from ‘Shift It’ will be visiting the school in September to present us with our award.

‘Swim Safe’

Well done to Year 5 children who attended a Swim Safe session on Sandown beach

on Wednesday. During the session the children were warned of the differences

between swimming in a pool and in the sea, as well as being told about general

beach safety and what to do if they found themselves in difficulty. They then practised

various ‘self rescue’ techniques. After all this fun they enjoyed a picnic on the beach.

A great time was had by all!

Year 6 Leavers

On Monday we held our annual Leavers assembly for Year 6. The Year 6

children put on a fabulous performance for their parents, families and the

school - performing two songs with adapted lyrics to match the occasion.

They performed their hearts out and we were all so very proud of them! To

end the assembly Special Awards were presented and each child received

an Autograph Book and Pen.

Our Special Awards were for Friendship, Endeavour, Resilience, Achievement and Spirit

of Cowes Primary.

The awards went to: Friendship - Erin Wynn, Endeavour - Holly Glasse,

Resilience - Alfie Witcomb, Achievement - Rees Harker and our Spirit of Cowes Primary

award went to Rosie Silk. Well done everyone.

All the staff at Cowes Primary wish our Year 6 Leavers Goodbye and Good Luck as they move on to High

school, we are very proud of all of you.

Farewell and Good Luck

We would like to wish the six members of staff who are leaving us today, a very fond farewell. The combined

time that they have been here added up to 35 and a half years, sixteen years each for

Mrs Weightman and Miss Knight!

We wish you all the best for the future and thank you for all your hard work, support and dedication that you

have shown during your time with us - you will be missed.
