A few weeks ago was Carnaval at our school. Though we are in B.C. and francophone celebrations are generally quite minimal, our proud to be French Immersion school celebrates the Quebec Carnaval with full force every year!
 |
| Complete with the arrival of Bonhomme by firetruck |
 |
| All the way from Quebec, he's a celebrity for the day |
 |
| A parade, crazy hats, and dancing in the streets |
 |
| The passing of the "key to the school" to Bonhomme for the week long celebrations |
 |
| Quebec and winter themed activities all week - Building sugar cube castles with our primary buddy class |
 |
| Les chateaux en glace |
 |
| We even have dances at lunch hour where the kids come to do La Bastringue, the bunny hop, and many more |
 |
| At the closing ceremonies, the grade 7's dance La Bastringue around Bonhomme, le bucheron, le roi et la reine du Carnaval |
 |
| Complete with masks, and les ceintures flechees |
 |
| Bonnehomme and Le Bucheron get in the swing of things! |
