The Rio de Janeiro or the Venice Carnival celebrations are well known around the world. What about Polish Carnival?
Carnival, known as old Polish ‘zapusty’, in Poland is a time from New Year to Ash Wednesday.
During this time are held very fashionable carnival parties. Schools in Poland usually organise special dress-up parties for their students. Children dress up as their favourite characters from fairy tales or favourite heroes.
In the last week of the carnival – known as ‘ostatki’ – we eat delicious ‘faworki’ and ‘pączki’.At the Fat Thursday on the Polish tables cannot miss the delicious doughnuts.
In our school also took place carnival fun. Children played in the rhythm of disco music. They dressed up as favourite characters and had great fun.
