Your age The African Folktale-Anansi the Spider By: Mursala Wali and Sairaksha Thirunavukkarasu The “African Folktales” assembly was GREAT! Two story tellers from a theater company in North Carolina, who travel the country sharing African folktales, came to John Marshall School in order to share their tales to the students. One of the stories they told us was Anansi The Spider . In the story, there were six pots of soup. Anansi wanted to try all of them. He told the cooks to pull the string that would be attached to his leg when the soups were ready. After, he had eight strings attached to each of his eight legs. All of a sudden, one leg started to wiggle. He reached to go but then suddenly, another leg started to wiggle, then another and another and another and another. He was getting pulled at every corner. Legend say that’s how spiders have thin and long legs. If you are interested in revisiting this story, check the book out from our media center! Fitness Is Fun! By: Sofia Park And Abhinav Gudeti Chitter Chatter!! John Marshall’s gym is buzzing with anticipation! The students are all gathered for an assembly. A bunch of quiet signals go up and Mrs. Pellicane comes and introduces the man that came to entertain us. His name was Greg! Greg was here to introduced different sports activities using a variety of equipment from around the world. His first activity was tossing a giant cube around with a few teachers. Then, he took some volunteers from the audience and they also tossed the cube. The next activity was a giant yo-yo toy that he kept tossing in the air and catching with a string. Then he took some more volunteers to play a fun sport about cooperation which was from his favorite country...America! The piece of equipment he used was called, “The Cooperation Band.” The students had to go inside the humungous band and work together to accomplish a task. Finally at the end of the show, he showed us one more trick. It was a black and white swirling hypnotising circle on a drill. He spun the circle with the drill and told us to look at the very middle of the circle for the whole time. Then when he removed the circle from sight and told us all to look at his head. The audience was amazed as his head appeared to be expanding. 3rd Grade Cultural Fair by Abhinav Gudeti and Sofia Park The third grade classes are always in groups and working on something fun and exciting.
