Gurdwara Visit
Year 5 had a wonderful visit to the Gurdwara this morning, children thoroughly enjoyed seeing the things we have been learning over the last few weeks in real life. The Sikh community were very welcoming and children were very respectful to the Sikh traditions by covering their heads. Children were invited to take part in the Langar, getting to try new delicious food. The Langar is a vegetarian meal, provided free of charge for all visitors. It is one way Sikhs practise serving others, being generous and seeing God in all. The cooking, serving and cleaning are done by volunteers doing sewa (selfless service). As they work, they sing prayers. Sikhs believe that this makes the food nourishing for the mind, body and soul.
