We had a busy time last week in P. 5 preparing for Lent. On Tuesday the children learnt about the history of Shrove Tuesday and why we call it Pancake Tuesday. As a result it would have been rude not to make and enjoy a few pancakes with various choices of our favourite toppings!
On Ash Wednesday the P. 5's made their Lenten Promises which weren't only to make sacrifices by going off our favourite things but also by going on things such as saying our prayers more often. We had a nice service in the afternoon and were annointed with our Ashes.
On Friday the P. 5 class went to 9.30am Mass. Afterwards we had an enjoyable and enlightening discussion with Fr Patsy about Lent.
