Pancake Day 2009

Pancake Day

Pan Cake Day is always great fun and a real treat with toppings galore and a chance to indulge yourself without feeling too guilty. This year (2009) the whole school was able to get their hands on the traditional Shrove Tuesday delicacy when the PTA prepared vast numbers of pancakes for everyone to enjoy.

Did you know.....

· Pancake Day (also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before Lent.

· Many people know that the day after Shrove Tuesday is Ash Wednesday, but did you know that the day before is known as Collop Monday

· The name Shrove comes from the old word "shrive" which means to confess. During the Middle Ages, Shrove Tuesday was the day people could confess their sins and seek forgiveness before the season of Lent began.

· In the Christian calendar, Lent is a period of forty days beginning on Ash Wednesday and leading up to Easter. Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter.
