Hi Everyone!
During Lent I will be posting a daily challenge for you to do each day with your children. This is a great way to get children more actively involved in their faith and I would be very grateful if you could post your comments/answers and even bring some photos or items which you make (HINT: pre-warning for future challenges!!) in to school to impress me as we progress through the Lenten season.
Today’s Lent Challenge:
Today is Ash Wednesday – Find out what this means.
Have fun!!!! Miss Ford 🙂
Love this idea! Will make sure we check for these 🙂 x
Ash Wednesday is the start of lent. The priest puts ashes on your head and says ‘remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return’. This reminds us that God made us all from dust. From Beth, Michael and Richard.
Hi Miss Ford its Emily I cant log in to my glow so I’m using my mums account
Ash Wednesday is 46 or 40 Days that we give up something or try do do something more because Jesus went to the desert and fasted for 46 days and is the beginning of Lent.
Ash Wednesday is the start of lent. It is a day of fast and abstinence. The priest puts ashes onto your forehead. The ashes come from the palms used at the previous Easter mass.
Excellent responses everyone, I’m very impressed!
