On Wednesday 1st May, 3WP visited the Jetavana Buddhist Temple in Handsworth as part of their RE studies - visiting local places of worship. We walked all the way from Welford to Booth Street and when we got inside, we had to take off our shoes, as the children do in many of their own places of worship. We decided that this was respectful, so we left our shoes by the front door.
The head monk met us in the Temple and told us lots of interesting things about why he decided to follow Buddhism and how long it took him to be able to deliver teaching in his faith. The children asked lots of interesting questions about his beliefs, religious clothing and prayer.
The children were very respectful at the temple and enjoyed the visit.

So glad to hear that Year 3 have been out and about in the local community to visit a Buddhist Temple and managed to gather lots of information about Buddhist beliefs. I loved the photographs.
