Lent is a period of 40 days during which we remember the events leading up to and including the death of Jesus at Easter. For us as Christians, it is a time to reflect on our lives, ask for forgiveness and often ‘fast’, which means to give something up during this period. That might be something like a habit we want to leave behind because we know it’s not helpful. Leaving things behind can help us to move on.

This prayer activity invites pupils to: take a moment to think about something they don’t want to take forward with them; rotate to different prayer stations to help them mediate and pray.
