Carnaval

 This week we celebrated Carnaval - this was a new celebration for us and we had so much fun!!

 Carnaval is a party celebration in  South America combining dancing, music and lots of vibrant, upbeat energy. Santiago's family shared some delicious food with us to share at lunchtime and we celebrated by making and wearing colourful masks, dancing the Samba to South American drums and music, throwing water balloons and learning about the traditions of Carnaval. What a joyful celebration - we loved learning about this cultural experience.
