Pupils take to the web to share spooky traditions

[The Straight Story]

The festival of 'Dia de los Muertos' or the Day of the Dead is marked in many Mexican schools. Some, including Instituto D'amicis from Puebla, have been sharing their preparations: "In Mexico, we remember our family members who've passed away. It is believed that they come back from the afterlife. We have a special day to celebrate kids and another one for adults. It is a happy day because we remember all the people we love and have died. Also it is a sad day, at the same time." At a time of year known for its spooky festivals, schools around the world have been exchanging experiences via BBC World Class.
