Chinese Acrobats
by Room 19
Chinese acrobats came to McKinley School. They juggled, twirled plates on sticks, and rode on unicycles doing tricks, and someone was flipping masks quickly while dancing.
Then, the girls were spinning plates
on sticks and none of the plates fell.
They rolled backwards while balancing them. None of the plates fell. They spun the plates while keeping their arms
up. They moved their arms in different
ways and still the plates did not fall.
Also,
we saw girls with Chinese yo-yos. They
threw the yo-yos to each other. They caught them on the strings. The girls were throwing the yo-yos up into
the air. They went as high as the ceiling and when they came down the girls
caught them.
Finally,
a man came out wearing a mask and a cape.
He frightened our principal and a kindergartener. When he shook our
teacher’s hand he changed his mask without using his hands. It looked like the mask changed just by the
turning of his head. Mrs. Settle jumped
in surprise when the mask changed right before her eyes! The mask was red and then turned into a green
mask. Sometimes the mask was the face of
a cat, the face of a bunny, a clown, or it was black, white, pink or blue. At the end we saw the man’s real face.
We
thought this was a good show. It was fun
to watch. It had funny parts in the
show. We are glad the Chinese acrobats
came to McKinley School!
