Our Primary Three pupils had a brilliant Pancake Tuesday celebration! The children worked together to mix their ingredients and make a smooth batter, which we then used to cook delicious pancakes for everyone. Each child chose their favourite topping, and they really enjoyed taking time to chat with their friends during our pancake breakfast. We ended the day with some fun pancake tossing, and it was lovely to see all the boys and girls enjoying this special Irish tradition.
