Shrove Tuesday/Ash Wednesday

5th Mar 2025

We celebrated Pancake/Shrove Tuesday a week earlier than planned with our annual trip to Bridgeways to join Fiona Egan in tasting amd flipping some pancakes.
On the day itself the children were treated to pancakes in the classroom, not a crumb was left behind!
On the following day Father Liam visited our room to administer ashes for Ash Wednesday and mark the beginning of Lent.
