Maslenitsa and Brazilian Carnival help Moscow schoolchildren study botany

The greenhouse decided to teach botany in the atmosphere of Brazilian Carnival for a reason: this holiday is actually an analogue of Russian Maslenitsa (Pancake day) - the events even take place at almost the same time. Latin American rhythms, unusual costumes, improvised "street" full of bright natural colours - not only entertainment, but also a whole educational programme.

How to tell about flowers and plants in dance? How does Maslenitsa relate to it?
