Today, we celebrated Shrove Tuesday by making pancakes and serving them to the whole school – allowing each to add their favourite toppings. We have also been looking at the meaning behind ‘Pancake Day’ and why it is so important to the Christian Faith. It was great to be joined by our RE Governor – Mrs Lofthouse! 🙂
