CAFOD Lent Family Fast Day - Friday 14th March 2025

Lesson: Religious education

Class: Religious Education Year: 2024 - 2025

In our whole school Celebration of the Word at the start of the day, we prayed for all those in need at at this time.

We shared the importance of CAFOD's Family Fast day and the link to our Lenten promises.

At lunchtime a large group of KS2 pupils chose to share in a 'simple lunch' of soup, bread and fruit, instead of their usual hot dinner.

Several children also brought in a simple packed lunch so that they could also participate.

We were joined by some of our governors and staff as we sat together to share the meal.

Thank you and well done to all of the pupils involved. It is lovely to see growing numbers with each 'simple lunch' that we hold.

We hope that this special event will continue to be a feature on each CAFOD Fast day - both at Harvest time in October and during Lent.
