3. Year 7 German classes celebrate Karneval

Classes learnt about the festival, Karneval or Fasching, which was celebrated a few weeks ago. One of the main reasons to celebrate is to drive out the winter and welcome spring. It is held 40 days prior to Easter. Some students made scary masks to hide their identity and to frighten others!
