Shrove Tuesday & Lent

We loved making pancakes and they were so delicious!! Mrs Abel & Mrs Carter explained to us all about 'Shrove Tuesday' - we learned that it was the day before the festival of 'Lent' started, which lasts 40 days and 40 nights when Easter arrives!! 



















We found out that people decide to give up something for Lent to concentrate on helping other people and get ready for celebrating the festival of Easter. We decided to give up 5 minutes of our playtime and that we would be really quiet for 2 minutes to think about how we could be kind to others. Here's a photo of Mrs Abel turning the sand timer for 2 minutes!
