The Year 4 cricket squad excelled themselves recently at Portland Red Triangle CC where Grant (Stumpy) Nevin hosted a superb tournament. Our Year 4 squad were dismayed to see that their opponents were Year 5 and 6 children from three Portland schools. However, 2 hours later we had played 8, won 8! Wyke A and Wyke B met in the final but it was agreed that they were all winners and that the trophy would be shared .

 

 

Our thanks to Mr Hyde, Sammi and Grant for coaching the teams and to Eddie and Jimmy for their energy and enthusiasm on the day.

Pupils at Wyke Regis Junior School have enjoyed a week of French
activities, starting with a French Breakfast in the school hall. The children had the choice of French breads, fresh fruit and a fruit juice to the accompaniment of French cafe music.

During the week, children chose a different activity each day, all with a French flavour, including baking crepes and chocolate eclairs, playing boules,singing traditional songs and dancing the Cancan.


They could paint in the style of Seurrat or the cave paintings at Lascau; make the bedroom from a famous painting by Van Gogh or make tourist brochure. They created children's books and brochures, and even a suitcase full of clothes ready for their holidays. Carnival masks were another popular choice.


At the end of the week, a celebration assembly was held when the
children could show off their creations. French week came at the end
of the first year of teaching French to the Lower School at
Wyke Regis. In September, Years 5 and 6 will also get to enjoy French lessons.

4M recently enjoyed fantastic weather as they walked to Pirates Cove at the Chesil Beach nature Reserve. Whilst there they enjoyed various beach activities, looked at the fauna and flora that inhabits the area and looked at the topography of the area.

They could not have wished for better weather to enjoy the area and there was plenty to see and do whilst trying to find crabs under the sea weed.

Chloe LePage recently took part in the race for life, an event to raise funds for cancer research. Chloes Nan, who worked at the school, died last year from cancer. Chloe found that the race for life bought back lots of good memories of her Nan and also raised money for the charity.

We recently attended the South and West Dorset Primary Athletics Championships at the Marsh athletic grounds  in Weymouth. Bethan Whittall was one of the star performers winning the 55m hurdles in 10.6 seconds and the 600m in 2mins 0.03secs.!
