RE: To recognise that Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent.
There are 40 days in Lent.  The first day of Lent is ‘Ash Wednesday’.  People go to church and the priest makes a cross with ashes on each person’s forehead.  Sometimes this happens in school and Ms McDaid makes a cross with ashes.  It’s a reminder that Lent is a time for remembering Jesus and growing into better people, a time to choose ways of growing.  The ashes are made by burning the palms that were used at Palm Sunday last year.

Your task today is to Make a Lenten tree.  You could use real twigs or draw a picture.
 
We are like trees that change and grow when we become more loving.  Add the label to your tree: Remember Jesus and help me to change and grow.  
 
How are you going to try to grow and change during lent?
You could also write this under your tree.

Have a great day everyone, keep doing your best and I look forward to seeing the work you complete today.
