In the middle of February, by the end of the "pancake week", there was a traditional Russian pancake  day celebration called "Masleneetsa" in the Russian School. The pupils from the senior class, dressed in Russian folk costumes, gave a short performance devoted to "Masleneetsa". The school volunteer, Irina Korovina - a true Russian beauty in the colourful traditional dress  -  offered everyone hot pancakes with jam, which were instantly eaten by children and adults with great enthusiasm.

The School branch in Worcester also celebrated "Masleneetsa" with singing and dancing and, of course, eating lots of tasty pancakes.
