For the final week of term we have decided on the theme of CARNIVAL!

Meaning the whole week is based around celebration and having fun!

You may decide to complete some work around a famous carnival, a fes-

tival, parade or even a circus. There is lots of wonderful arts and crafts

you can do and some tricks to learn too. Have fun!

Many different Carnivals take place around the world—

Mardi Gras, Rio de Janeiro, Notting Hill Carnival…

Can you research 1 and create a poster inviting people to

come and join the carnival? How would you attract visitors?

Do you know why these carnivals take place?

Carnivals are full of colour, costumes, music and dancing. Why

not try some of these activities to create a carnival in your very

own home!

Watch Myriam’s day at the carnival to give you

some inspiration. https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/
