This week, our EYFS and KS1 children came together for a wonderful shared learning experience all about Shrove Tuesday and its importance within the Christian faith.
We talked about why Christians traditionally make pancakes on this day and how it marks the beginning of Lent—a time for reflection, kindness, and thinking of others.
We were also lucky to enjoy a careers encounter with Sarah from the Chartwells team, who showed us how pancakes are made. The children were fascinated watching the ingredients being mixed, the batter poured, and the pancakes flipped! After the demonstration, everyone had the chance to enjoy their own pancake in celebration of this special day.
There were plenty of delicious toppings to choose from, and the children loved creating their own tasty combinations. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn about a religious tradition, explore a real-world job role, and enjoy a festive treat together.
