Primary 7  have been learning about Shrove Tuesday and the religious beliefs and traditions behind it.

We discovered that Shrove Tuesday is a Christian celebration that takes place the day before Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent—a time of reflection and preparation leading up to Easter.

We  explored how, traditionally, people would use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and sugar before the fasting period began, which is why pancakes became associated with the day.

After learning about its meaning and history, we put our knowledge into practice by making our own delicious pancakes. We really enjoyed eating them too!
