Friday French 

Bonjour! 


This week we are looking at Mardi Gras
(Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day)
. 
There are lots of activities, so you may pick and choose.

 
All Classes

Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday) means 'Fatty Tuesday' in French. It is a Christian event. Traditionally, Christians eat rich and fatty foods on Shrove Tuesday,
in preparation for 'Lent' - 40 days of eating dull and basic foods. 

Here is a video about Mardi Gras celebrations in the town of Dunkirk, France. Dunkirk is a fishing town and in the past, fishermen would eat a big and sometimes fattening meal before they set off on their long fishing trips. The local people would throw a big carnaval (street party) to say a farewell to their loved ones on their month-long trips and as a celebration of 'Lent'.

   du lait (sounds like 'joo lai')   
de la farine     des oeufs (sounds like 'dez urr')   du beurre   du sel
