This term, Year 2 have been learning about traditional folk tales from around the world and on Tuesday they wowed their parents with their performance of Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock. It is one of the most popular stories about Anansi, who features in African-Caribbean folklore as a cunning part-man, part-spider, character. In this story Anansi discovers a magic rock and learns that saying the words ‘Isn’t this a strange, moss-covered rock!’ will instantly send the speaker to sleep. He uses his discovery to trick the other animals…but one is ready to trick Anansi back…

The girls worked so hard to learn their lines, songs and actions and all of them should be so very proud of themselves. Well done Year 2!
