On Monday Robins and Swallows visited Buddha Land as part of our RE curriculum where children visit a different place of worship each year.
The Teacher there explained Buddhist practice and meditation. We saw a beautiful meditation room with Buddha statues and offerings which helped us understand Buddhist prayer and thought. We were taught about the life of Buddha, his teachings and modern day Buddhist way of life. We had a short guided meditation session too.
It was a very interesting trip and the children behaved so well and asked some very insightful questions. This week in school we have continued to learn about Buddism.
