Shrove Tuesday

Yesterday P3 & P3/2 celebrated Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, by preparing and tasting pancakes.  We reflected on the meaning of this special day and know that it is the day before the start of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday.  During Lent we try to do without things and give up things we like.  Here are some photos of us tasting the delicious pancakes in class!
