Pancake Tuesday

Today we celebrate Pancake Tuesday 

and with it the beginning of Lent.

This week in class (so far) we focused on Lent and its meaning. We have made our Lenten promises and created crosses to hang in the room to remind us of these. We have discussed Jesus' strength and all that he sacrificed for us. The children have been encouraged to take something up, for example doing more at home to assist Mum and Dad, trying harder not to fight with siblings or trying to be a better classmate or friend. These were only a few of the ideas and many children had their own take on what they could use as a Lenten promise. 

A huge thank you to Mrs Parker, one of our Teacher Assistants at school, who in her own time made pancakes for everyone at the school including the teachers! She is a treasure! 

I know that my students thoroughly enjoyed the pancakes and were very appreciative of Mrs Parker's cooking!
