Year 1 - Shrove Tuesday!

-

Year One students learned about Shrove Tuesday and the meaning behind it this week in a fun and practical lesson! 

We learned that Shrove Tuesday is a special day for Catholics and is also known as "Pancake Day". It comes just before Ash Wednesday, which is the start of Lent, a time when Catholics prepare for Easter by praying, fasting, giving things up, and being extra kind to others. Shrove Tuesday is a day to get ready for Lent. A long time ago, people would use up all the rich foods in their homes, like butter, eggs, and sugar, because they wouldn't be eating these things during Lent. So, they made pancakes! Today, people still enjoy eating this sweet treat on Shrove Tuesday!

Then, Year One students had the opportunity to eat some pancakes and reflect on their learning!

Year 6 have had an amazing few days away on their residential trip and are on their way back to school now. They have certainly developed all four of their learning powers: reciprocity, resourcefulness, reflectiveness and resilience through the range of activities they have participated in at Bawdsey Manor.  They should be especially proud of how well they have represented St Pius X, demonstrating our school values throughout. Well done, Year 6!
