Good-bye canivals, welcome Lent
We have just celebrated carnivals. I´m sure that despite the rain, you all enjoyed this little rest before the exams.
Besides this, Lent has just began, a time to think, forgive and ask for forgiveness.

But, ours is not the only carnival which has been celebrated....

 Mardi Gras in New Orleans:  Every year there is a carnival season in New Orleans, in the USA. It starts on 6th January. There are parades in the streets and a lot of parties. People eat King cakes, which are purple, green and gold. They have a small plastic baby in the cake that represents Jesus.
Mardi Gras is always on the last Tuesday before Lent.
It means " Fat Tuesday" in French because people celebrate and eat all day!!!!

In August, in London, they celebrate the Notting Hill Carnival. It is a street party. People wear fantastic costumes and walk through the streets. Thousands of people watch teh processions and theris really loud music. It has a real party atmosphere!!!!!!

News, news, news.....

I hope all of you enjoyed it.....

All You Need Is Love is a song written by John Lennon and performed by the Beatles. The purpose of this song was to send the world a message of love. I hope you enjoy it!
