Carnival 2009

Our school had an early festivities to celebrate the end of Mardi Gras. The Carnival is one of the traditional festivities by the Roman Catholic. It happens before the Lenten season between months of January and February. The school carnival was successful because everyone wore fantastic costumes during the parade. Here are some pictures of us .

It was a 45 minutes parade around the district. A lot were amazed to see us parading. As the streets a narrow in our place there are few who were not really happy to accommodate us. But at least The Buzz (as how Maman identifies them ) were useful on that day since it is one of their responsibilities everytime there is an event like this.

We did it !

We're back from our winter break. And we have a good news for you. I got my première etoile and Mayumi (Poussin) did great as well. I think, skiing with my Papa almost every weekend has helped me a lot to pass the test. I have learned many things from him. Skiing for the first star course requires a pair of sticks. Indeed, it allows me to learn and practice to change movements inside the tracks. To start with a sequence of basic skidded turns on a route suitable materialized. These skills in terms of "crossing" skis parallel to allow for maintenance of the angles on square. And to know how not to take dangerous slopes. I went with my ski monitor and students of the same level to practice skiing before the exam. Friday we passed the test and fortunately I made it and others did not. I am sorry for those who didn't make it but I am sure they will have get their première etoile the next time. While me, Mayumi had my first medal Poussin with Piou-Piou club. This is my Kuya practicing with the slopes and jumping a little bit !
