DISPLAY LETTERING
What is unique about our lettering is that each title is available in different styles, sizes, lower case and upper case, so will suit all sized display boards. All letters consist of relevant photographs or colouring. All you need to do is print out the letters, cut them out, and laminate them for long lasting display titles. Fantastic!

This zodiac wheel is a fab idea that can be used for any age. Looks
great copied onto red card or can be left plain to be coloured by
pupils (both included in the pack). Once they have coloured in the zodiac animals, these can be cut out and stuck onto the back wheel. The animals are in the correct order reading from left ...to right. For younger children it works well if the animal names are written on to the second wheel first to enable the children to match the name and label. For older children, they can research the order from the story. The wheel fits together with a split pin fastener and can be used every year after!
This Chinese pack includes the zodiac story and many other exciting activities too. Check it out!

PANCAKE DAY - SHROVE TUESDAY
In UK SHROVE TUESDAY is known as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday.CLICK HERE TO VIEW PANCAKE DAY, LENT and EASTER RESOURCES
Why do we eat pancakes?
Shrove Tuesday is the last day before the period which Christians call LENT. It is traditional on this day to eat pancakes. Lent is a time of abstinence, when people give things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to eat up foods that aren't allowed in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.
When is pancake day?
Shrove Tuesday is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday and is therefore the final day before the beginning of Lent, an important time in the Christian calendar which leads up to Easter Sunday or Easter Day.
The name SHROVE comes the word 'shrive' which means to confess. In the Middle Ages, people would confess their sins on Shrove Tuesday so that they were forgiven before the season of Lent began.
What are pancakes?
A pancake is a thin, flat cake, made of batter and fried in a pan. Traditionally, fine sugar is sprinkled on top and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Then the pancake is rolled. Some people add golden syrup or jam. My variation is to add fresh fruit, such as raspberries :-)
Around the World
Pancake Day is also known as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday and is also celebrated all over the world with fun, games and lots of eating. Customs vary in different countries.
