PANCAKE DAY -SECOND EDITION-

  🥞 Pancake Day and Our Cooking Class

Yesterday in 2nd ESO we celebrated Pancake Day at school, and it was a day full of learning, laughter, and delicious food! Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is a traditional celebration that takes place before the season of Lent. In the past, people used up ingredients like eggs, milk, and flour before Lent began, and making pancakes was the perfect way to do this.

In our cooking class, we had the chance to make our own pancakes. We worked in groups to measure the ingredients carefully, mix the batter, and cook the pancakes in the pan. It was exciting to flip them (some flips were more successful than others!). The classroom smelled amazing, and everyone was proud of their results.

While we were cooking, we also learned about the history and traditions connected to Pancake Day. In some places, people even take part in pancake races, where they run while flipping pancakes in a frying pan! It was interesting to see how food can be connected to culture and history.

The best part of the day was sharing the pancakes together and adding our favorite toppings. Some chose sugar and lemon, others added chocolate spread or fruit. It was not just about eating—it was about working together, learning new skills, and understanding traditions from the past.

Learning about traditions while having fun makes school even more special. Pancake Day was a perfect example of how education can be hands-on, meaningful, and enjoyable at the same time.
