Today is Mardi Gras which means Fat Tuesday. It is the day before Ash Wednesday which is the beginning of Lent. We learnt that the tradition of Mardi Gras goes back hundreds of years and explorers and settlers took the tradition worldwide.

One of the biggest Mardi Gras celebrations happens in New Orleans. We saw a King cake being made, costumes and floats being prepared and people having special masked balls.

As you can see we created our own Mardi Gras masks. They include the colours violet ( purple for justice), l’or ( gold for power) and vert (green for faith).

Enjoy your pancakes on Fat Tuesday, everyone.
