Year 7 Carnevale!

Year 7 Carnevale!

As part of the Year 7 Italian course, the students have learnt a little about the city of Venice and one of the most famous events that takes place there each year, Carnevale. Celebrated in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday, the festival involves people dressing up in intricate costumes. Tradition has it that the masked costumes historically allowed people to hide their identities, ensuring that for these few days, everyone is equal. Male, female, rich or poor, they can all have fun, parading around and playing jokes on each other. 

The Year 7 Italian students unleashed their creativity in decorating masks as part of learning about Carnevale, as you can see from the photos.
