Anansi the Spider

🇬🇧 This month, Year 1 & Year 2 pupils are studying traditional tales. We visited the Unicorn Theatre to see Anansi the Spider, a beloved tale from Ghana about a trickster spider who uses his wits to play tricks on other animals. Back in class, the children read many different versions of Anansi stories and completed a creative writing task about Anansi. The Year 2 pupils are now working on their own Anansi play to perform for the parents!
