Shrove Tuesday

Today is Shrove Tuesday we have done some cool stuff.  In the morning the whole school met on the turf to burn the palms to use the ashes tomorrow for the start of Lent tomorrow.  Shrove Tuesday is also known as pancake Tuesday so we made some pancakes.  The reason why we make pancakes is because in Jesus's time the gave up flour, eggs and all of the other ingredients that you need to make pancakes. They made pancakes and ate them on the day before Lent which is on a Tuesday.
