Friday 21st December
Dear parents and carers, It has been great to see so many of you supporting our school play, Arabian Nights. Year 6s joined us for the dress rehearsal and we were thrilled to have so many feeder students enjoying the production. I would like to congratulate all our students for putting on such high quality entertainment and providing such a joyous end to the term and I would also like to thank all the teachers and supporters involved in the production for their commitment and expertise. Today we have held our end of term celebration assemblies with our year groups – and what a lot we have to celebrate. The students have worked hard this term and there have been many achievements, both at personal and school level. We are very proud of our students! We have been really getting underway with the Christmas spirit this week and have been spoilt with two Christmas jumper days; thank you for your support – donations go to charity and are split between the Isle of Wight Toy Appeal and Save the Children. We also enjoyed our Carol Concert on Monday – many thanks to all teachers involved in this key event - and Christmas lunch on Wednesday; students ate lunch complete with Christmas music, table cloths and crackers and it felt very positive to sit together as a school community in this way. My parent surgeries will continue next term on Tuesday afternoons from 1pm – 2.30pm and from 3.30pm – 5.30pm. Attendance is by pre-booked appointments only. Please either email dharrison@cowesec.org or phone the school on 01983 203103 asking for Donna Harrison to book in a slot in advance of each Tuesday. I should like to thank you all for your support this term and to wish you all a fantastic holiday. We look forward to seeing the students back on Tuesday 8th January. With best Christmas wishes, Rachel Kitley
