In R.E. the children have been learning about Ash Wednesday. We learnt how Ash Wednesday was the start of Lent leading up to Easter. The children drew their own face in their books, looking into a mirror to make sure they drew all of their features correctly. They then went on to use black paint to put a cross on the forehead like the priest would do. We talked about the words the priest might use when giving out the ashes.
I loved doing this.
