Year 3 trips!
This week Year 3 were lucky enough to go on two trips! For our first trip we ventured out into Chalfont St Peter after being sent a very mysterious letter from Zaki Moon (Alien Supermarket Creator), who informed us he would like to flatten our village. Year 3 did not like the sound of this and decided the best option would be to visit our local area in order to create a poster of protest. Year 3 enjoyed using our tally charts to mark how our local area uses its land.
On Thursday, we were treated to a visit to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden. We thoroughly enjoyed walking about the Mandir, where we got to see some beautiful shrines and sacred places. We were also invited to stay and watch the Arti Ceremony. We learnt some amazing facts, like, the temple took 3 years to construct and all of the pieces of marble were handcrafted!! We also learned about the reason for the temple's construction and what it means to be a guru. We attended an Understanding Hinduism exhibition where we saw more beautiful shrines, statues and images, and we learnt more interesting facts about Hinduism.
