SHROVE TUESDAY

Today students enjoyed an age old tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.  
Another name for Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day. Long ago this was a day for feasting and having a good time. People went to church to confess the bad things they had done and would be 'shriven' or forgiven before the start of Lent. As rich foods such as eggs were forbidden during Lent, one way of using them up would be to make pancakes.
Year 5 students loved the pancakes, sprinkled with 100s and 1000s!
