Year 4 Trip to Wimbledon Temple

As part of our 'Other Faiths' week, Year 4 visited a Buddhist Temple in Wimbledon.

When we arrived, we had to take our shoes off as a sign of respect before we entered the temple. Then a lady taught us about the five rules of Buddhism.

1. No harming living things
2. Having respect for all
3. No stealing
4. No lying
5. No drinking alcohol

After that, we got to meet and interview a Buddhist monk, he talked us through a meditation and we learned that meditating helps calm your nervous system and can make you more focussed in school.
