“KARNEVAL" - Celebrating happiness !


Since last week there have been “Karneval" (in English Carnival) celebrations all over Germany, so the Pre-Kindergarten children, as part of our German school community, have been busy celebrating the event.


Karneval is typically an event of joy and merriment before a fasting period and involves a lot of parades, masks and costumes.



Our current subject of “Food and Animals” fits perfectly, so the children looked at a variety of animals and then chose             the one they would like to make a mask of.


 

The children used their creativity to make a whole zoo of animal masks - a crocodile, a bear, an elephant, a zebra, a dog and some cats.




With lots of joy, the children used the masks to express movements and danced along to Karneval tunes in German (Ententanz) and Spanish (Rompe la pinata) !

On Friday we finished a happy week with a new friend, a balloon dance and a fun Karneval game where you needed to throw colourful balls into baskets to win a yummy price.





There are many different Karneval greetings in Germany, depending on what region you are from, so Helau, Alaaf or Narri Narro to all of you!!
