CREEPY-CRAWLIES have taken over the classrooms and corridors at Wyke Regis Junior School.
Year three and four pupils have been studying mini-beasts this term and transformed themselves into the creatures for a show called Mini-beast Madness.
The 190 seven- to nine-year-olds took on the roles of bees, dung beetles, caterpillars, butterflies, millipedes, snails and crickets for the performance.
During the term they have hatched their own butterflies from cocoons, looked at mini-beasts in the school's environmental garden and spent three days at Leeson House in Swanage, pond dipping and conducting a local village study.
Studies in all the children's subjects have revolved around the mini-beasts project.
They have sung about mini-beasts in music lessons, and designed and made mini-beast costumes in art.
The children performed the play for Wyke Regis Infant School pupils as well as for their own fellow pupils. They finished with two evening performances for their parents.
