Carnival (and ballet!)

Hello everyone! 

Itโ€™s Juno and Nina and we are both going to write about carnival!! 

Nina is the one dressed as a pink princess! 

Today was Fasching (carnival) and the kids from 1 to 3 dressed up as different characters, super heroes, princesses and more.

Todayโ€™s newspaper is very special, and we also have a video that Nina made herself!  The piece of music she was dancing to was called Eugene Onegin Op 24 Act III Polonaise, written by Tchaikovsky.

Today was really fun for everyone because they got to eat cake and party for the whole day!! The 4 to 6th graders didnโ€™t, but we were ok with it because instead we went to the natural history museum for the whole day.  

The historical origin of carnival is obscure. It possibly has its roots in a primitive festival honouring the beginning of the new year and the rebirth of nature, though it is also possible that the beginnings of carnival in Italy may be linked to the pagan Saturnalian festival of ancient Rome.

Nina and me especially love carnival because of all the color, but now because of Covid19 we can’t celebrate like we used to.  

Hope you liked what we wrote and Ninaโ€™s dance performance (which she choreographed all by herself)!
