On Tuesday, Estonia celebrated Fat Tuesday, known as Vastlapäev, and Sinimäe Primary School took part in the festivities by organizing various activities. Among the familiar traditions are sledding, pea soup, and sweet rolls, all of which were part of the school’s celebrations. Children from the school enjoyed sledding down a hill while also trying to hit targets with rings, making the event more engaging.

The event was seen as a vital opportunity to encourage children to get outside and be active. Physical education teacher Kristina Rabtsevitš emphasized the importance of movement and health, stating that such activities are essential in children's lives. The turnout was impressive, with many more children than sleds, yet this did not hinder their enjoyment. The students were reminded to be cautious and considerate of one another during the activities, reflecting on the spirit of the day.

Meanwhile, the school canteen provided traditional Fat Tuesday foods, including warm pea soup and sweet rolls to mark the occasion. The celebration aimed not only to uphold cultural traditions but also to instill a sense of community and active lifestyle among the students. Overall, the event encapsulated the essence of Fat Tuesday, blending fun and cultural heritage in a school setting.
