Today we celebrate Pancake Tuesday (also known as Shrove Tuesday )as we prepare to begin the season of Lent. 
Traditionally, this day was a time to use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk and sugar before the simpler season of Lent began. It’s a lovely opportunity to talk with children about new beginnings, reflection and making positive choices, while also enjoying a delicious treat together!
