Bishopsteignton Primary School

We found out that Pancake Day is also called Shrove Tuesday. It is celebrated on the Tuesday before Lent begins. Lent is a time when Christians are getting ready for Easter. In the past, people gave up foods like eggs, milk and sugar at Lent. The day before Lent began, they would use up these foods by making pancakes. 

During the day, we looked at the clues in our 'Poetry Basket' to find out about our poem of the week. Using different materials to construct our own pancakes was very popular as well as following instructions in our outdoor kitchen to make alternative pancakes!

The highlight of the day was trying different pancakes during snack time. We talked about our favourite toppings too!
