Carnival in Valejas...


Carnival in Portugal is an old tradition.
We use to celebrate it in the 5 days before the lent.
During those days we eat fat meet boiled with vegetables, fried sweets, and all kind of fat food, for the next 40 days of lent we will eat only thin aliments. We also use to make treats to friends. On Sunday afternoon and night, all the village people, use to "assault" one of the village families. Young people from the village went to one house and made the "robbery". They celebrate together eating all that they can.
Until Tuesday people enjoy themselves playing, and walking around the village. On Tuesday night, we use to buried the carnival, and during the funeral people did not speak or laugh. We use it to make the entrance of the lent.
In our school we also enjoy the Carnival.
This year, as the sun was shining, we all made a parade in the village. It was really fun. Do you want to see how it was?
We hope you enjoy it so much as we did...

  1. We also had a carnival. We finished it in wensday. We had costumes in kindergarten too but we do not went in it outside- in Poland we have winter and snow still.But we were dancing in kindergarten. Our teachers also had costumes. And one day we prepared costumes with paper by ourselfs. Best wishes for all "Little Stars". You looked wonderfull. Especially we like the dinosaur- costumes made with parents are the most valuable.
