French Language Program

Mardi Gras (Carnaval français) dress-up day, Thursday 18th February.

Bonjour!

On Thursday 18th February, BPS will be celebrating Mardi Gras (Carnaval français).

Mardi Gras is celebrated in France as part of Lent: a catholic religious tradition, that ties in with spring festivals.  It symbolises letting go of the old and welcoming new beginnings.  Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is a time to have fun, eat lots of treats and be someone different for a day. 

Students may dress up in colourful costumes and masks.

NB: Masks will be provided at school. Fairytale Puppetry (Exploring Languages) will be performing Jungle Book.

 

We look forward to celebrating this special event at BPS.
