4th Class have been very busy making Mardis Gras masks the past few weeks. We learnt all about the origins of Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, and the wonderfully colourful celebrations that take place every year and we’re inspired to create our own Mardi Gras masks.
We created our masks using balloons, newspapers and PVA glue, we needed to do many layers of newspaper and PVA glue to make sure they were nice and sturdy!
When the masks were dry we decorated them using the traditional Mardi Gras colours of purple, green and yellow. We made sure to use lots of glitter, gems and feathers.
Our classroom could have been seen from space that day!!
We are so proud of our beautiful creations!
