The Year 5 team travelled to Queensgate Primary School to take part on the Island Final of the Under 10s Knockout Cup against Bembridge Primary School. Cowes 270 The match started off at a quick pace, with our boys taking an early command of the game with some passing and movement of the ball. After lots of early pressure Max Harper scored the first goal of the game - a wonder strike from just inside the Bembridge half. We defended well and went into the half time break 1-0 up. The second half continued in much the same way as the first - with Cowes controlling most of the possession and creating lots of good scoring opportunities. Eventually the Bembridge defence cracked and Max Harper popped up again to score the second goal - a nice flick over his head and a volleyed finish in the bottom corner. We continued to control the game but Bembridge got back into the game with a penalty kick against the run of play. However, we defended astutely and the final whistle eventually came, 2-1 winners and champions of the Isle of Wight! Well done to all those involved! The team were Mitchell Cox, Max Harper, Aiden Kirkham, Vincent Morgan, Ben Hobbs, Joel Bunce, Jude Bunce, Corey Bailey, Joshua Wilson and Ridwaan Ahmed. A special mention and well done to Miss Novak for being a superb Assistant Referee running the line. Compton 296 Ryde 262 Year 3/4 Football Congratulations to the Year 3/4 football team who played their first match on Tuesday.

SEN Updates If you would like to receive regular updates or newsletters from local community orgnisations for SEN children, please email Mrs Abi Pascoe at Abi.Pascoe@cowespri.iow.sch.uk. Blackgang 242 Dog Park We would like to remind parents who use the dog park at the front of the school that they need to clean up after their pet. Leaving the mess behind is unpleasant, unhygienic and can cause toxicariasis which can cause serious illness in young children. This week a member of staff had to undertake this unpleasant task which we are sure you would agree is unfair, so please, if your dog uses the park, please make sure the area is clean when you leave. Alternatively, we may have to stop dogs from using this area. Thank you.
