This Week’s Successes & News
Run Wight Junior Challenge Success!
Congratulations to all those children who took part in the Run Wight competition that
was held at the Cowes Community Centre on Saturday. The event involved the
children running a 2km course against other children who lived in the Cowes area.
Several of the children from Cowes qualified for the Island Final that takes place on
Saturday 6th June at Sandown. Congratulations to you all. Mrs King would also like
to ask if any parents took photos at the event could she please have copies for her
sports notice board. Thank you.
Horticultural Show & Summer Fayre
Due to the success of last year we will be combining our very successful Horticultural
Show with our Summer Fayre. They will be held on Thursday 16th July, with
marquees open for displaying competition produce at 8:00am. The Fayre will run after
school from 3:00pm - 5:30pm. Within this time the marquees will be open for
everyone to view the competition entries. This is the fifth year that our Horticultural
Show has been run and it gets more and more successful each year. Last year we
had over 50 families participate.
Do you enjoy baking? Do you have vegetables, fruits or flowers growing in your garden? Are you
arty? Then enter the show! Every child who enters the show will receive a free ticket for a go on
the bouncy castle before the show/fayre.
Walk the Wight - Message from Chief Executive
Thank you to all children, parents, friends and relatives who ‘Walked the Wight’ on
Sunday 10th May. You should all be very proud of your achievement. Everybody at
the Earl Mountbatten Hospice, including patients, their families and friends; staff and
volunteers, are very grateful for your support. The Hospice is such an important
charity here on the Island, and it is wonderful that children like you show their support for us by
doing something amazing, so very well done!
Sickness Reminder
We have had a few cases of sickness and diarrhoea and have been notified that viral
gastroenteritis (norovirus) may be circulating in the community. We would like to
remind parents that children with symptoms should be excluded from school until 48
hours after their last episode of diarrhoea and vomiting. However, if your child has just
had one symptom of sickness or diarrhoea they must refrain from school for 24 hours.
Thank you for your co-operation.
