Apokries 2010

The Greek carnival, Apokries, is coming soon. It will be a lot of fun and so much for the kids to do and for the parents to watch! First of all there will be a fashion show!! Wow! All the girls dressed up and their hair nicely decorated will walk on the runway! The boys will get to wear their favorite halloween costumes and do a parade around the schoolyard. And the whole school will sing an old traditional "apokriatiko" song about a crab getting married to a turtle and inviting all kinds of animals to the wedding! They will be wearing masks that they made and decorated beforehand. Of course there could not be a Greek celebration especially such a festive one without food ! In my class we are getting ready for our part of the song. We will be either crabs or turtles. Can't wait!!
