This week has been another busy one. From Shrove Tuesday to World Book Day, we have had so much to celebrate!
On Tuesday we celebrated Shrove Tuesday by discussing the true meaning behind the pancakes. We learnt that Shrove Tuesday marks the start of Lent, where Jesus made a sacrifice for 40 days and 40 nights. We made our own paper pancakes and discussed what we might sacrifice over Lent, so we can be just like Jesus and become closer to God. We also learnt about Wales’ patron saint, St David. We made our own Welsh flags and created dragons using junk modelling.
Today, we celebrated World Book Day. We dressed up as our favourite book characters, from Mary Poppins to the Worst Witch. We had a lovely time reading to children in Reception and listening to our favourite stories being read to us by both Mrs Palmer and Miss Battams. We even designed book covers for our own versions of our English focus book, Billy and the Beast.

Have a great weekend,
Miss Battams 🙂
