Shrove Tuesday

Today marks the day before Lent begins and this is known as Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day. It is the day where we burn the ashes ready for Ash Wednesday as well as thinking about what we might give up for the 40 days of lent. Pancakes are often made on this day and today the Junior Syndicate got together to get pancakes and write about our Shrove Tuesday experience.
