-a powerpoint about mardi gras as celebrated around the world. We have spent 2-3 lessons with year 8 on this. This is what we did:
-show the ppt
-show a couple of clips from youtube showing the carnival in New Orleans and Nice
-give the kids pancakes with either chocolate or jam on them (8 pancak More…es in a packet from a supermarket) (we asked kids for 50p to cover costs)
-next lesson- give them templates of masks and glue, coloured paper etc.
-kids make mardi gras masks.
