In Czech - Mikuláš isoften also accompanied by an angel (anděl) who actsas a counterweight to thedevil (čert).
They always visit the kidson 5th Decenber in theevening.
Kids usually sing a song orsay a rhyme to them and they get some sweets orsometimes also some blackcoal or old potatoes – ifthey are disobedient.
On this day the kids go to school wearing
„devils´“ costumes and they have „devil´s lessons“.
It means they do „devil´s“ countings during Maths, they read stories aboutdevils and things like that.
It´s always a bif fun for kidsand teachers too.
On 6th December in the late afternoon
we usually have a Carnival in our school.
Pupils and their parents come to the school gym in different costumes.
They often wear costumes of devils, princess, differentanimals, fairies, witches and so on…
Teachers prepare a programme full of different games,
a disco, a raffle and the most beautilful costumes are award-winning.
It´s also a big fun and we all like it.
