According to lore, back in 1445, a baker had to rush to church while her frying pan was still on the stove. She had no choice but to run there, juggling the hot pan and flipping the pancake as she went.
To celebrate Shrove Tuesday, ‘Pancake Day’ the Oakwood House toddler and preschool children took part in an exciting pancake race. Many of our parents came along to cheer the children on and then took part in their own parents race.
