Trip to The Gurdwara

On Wednesday 17th March Y6 visited the Gurdwara in Ilford. We all managed to fit in one bus and most of us sat there talking non-stop! Other children thought this was very annoying! We went there for a R.E lesson that I think everyone enjoyed.

As we reached the Gurdwara we were asked to stand on different sides. The women had to stand towards the left hand side and the boys had to stand to the right. Before we entered all of us had to cover our heads out of respect, then take off our shoes. Also both classes were asked to wash their hands before we were led upstairs to the praying area.

The organiser of this trip kindly told us about the Guru Granth Sahib which is the Holy book. He also told us a bit about the Sikh religion and all the Gurus.
In my opinion I think that everyone enjoyed it and they listened very well and I also think all the children have found it interesting to learn about a different culture to their own.
