Anansi Stories

In Year 5, for the past few weeks we have been  looking at stories from different cultures. This week we are looking at Anansi stories, Anansi stories were set in all different countries. Most of all the stories were set in Africa. Anansi is a spider who was brought up by his mum. He is half human and half spider. His stories are very well known around the world. Most of his stories are about Anansi doing the wrong things or doing things which he has been told not to do. In class we have read twos stories so far, Anansi and the pot of beans, then we read Anansi and the turtle. Today we write the setting of Anansi and the pot of beans and underlined all the vcop we wrote down. We are all really enjoying this topic.
