Preparing our Carnival Festival - Our "Meco"

The "Meco" is something very typical of the Carnival in Ourense. So that we had to have one, too. It is a sort of mascot of our entroido ('carnival' in Galician). Now he hangs at the top of a mast on our schoolyard. From above he witnesses all the carnival happenings at our school.

The pupils of 4º E together with their teacher Hortensia Alonso were the responsible persons who have prepared our own Meco.

Here you can see some pictures taken during its elaboration.
