Year Three are going to be so busy next week so we decided to have to have pancake day today instead of on Tuesday! We looked at a Powerpoint (below) about Shrove Tuesday and talked about why Christians give things up for Lent. We read the story of Jesus in the Desert which explains why we have Shrove Tuesday and then produced some lovely writing for our display.
This afternoon we enjoyed eating some pancakes with chocolate and strawberry sauce. They were delicious!
