We have been having lots of fun this week finding out about Mardi Gras!
Mardi Gras is actually Fat Tuesday in French. Other names for this day include Shrove Tuesday and Pancake Day. Lots of us were going to have pancakes for our tea as it is a common tradition to use up all the eggs, milk and butter in the kitchen prior to Ash Wednesday when some people fast for Lent.
We have been using the colours of Mardi Gras - purple, green and gold - to create our own hats, necklaces and masks to wear for our own
