Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday

Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday. We all had a great day in room 6. The festivities started with the burning
of the ashes on the turf. This was a new and exciting experience that not many of us had seen before.
Later on during Religious Education we learnt more about Shrove Tuesday and Lent. People used to get rid of all their luxury items such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs and milk by making pancakes. We were
even able to enjoy some pancakes of our own. We all thought it was a great start to lent and we are
looking forward to the lenten season as we prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are the
season of Lent and it is a time of preparation.
