Gurdwara Trip

Year 4 recently enjoyed a visit to a local Gurdwara, where we learnt about the different traditions of Sikhism linked to our RE curriculum. The children heard poems written by Sikh children and watched a great demonstration on the art of wrapping a traditional head covering. The children then explored the 5 Ks (Panj Kakka)—five items that symbolize the Sikh faith, which we had recently learnt about in class. Children also practiced playing the French harmonium and discovered how it can be used for worship.  As part of the visit, the children were offered Langar where we shared a delicious meal of dahl, chapati, and rice, learning firsthand about the Sikh values of equality and hospitality. The children really enjoyed trying different foods, especially the chapatis which were very popular!
