The following post was written by the pupils of P5:

P5 and P5/6 went to the Gurdwara on Wednesday morning last week with Mrs Munoz and Miss Rangeley. The children went to the Gurdwara to learn about Sikhism. Mr Singh and Mrs Kaur came to Rochsolloch Primary to teach the school about their religion. We decided to go so that we could find out more! We also thought that since Mr Singh and Mrs Kaur travelled to see us, we should travel to see them!

When we arrived we had to take off our shoes, put on turbans and wash our hands. People do this in the Gurdwara as a sign of respect to god.  We were taken upstairs and we were fortunate enough to hear some readings from the holy scriptures. We also learned a bit more about the ‘Five Ks’ of Sikhism and we had another shot of the musical instruments we got to play when Mr Singh and Mrs Kaur visited our class.

Our hosts were willing to share with us some traditional food including: spicy naan bread and mango juice, and our teachers were even given some vegetable pakora and chickpea curry!

We really enjoyed ourselves because we were made to feel very welcome and as you can see from the pictures we had a lot of fun! Thanks to Mrs Grimson and Mrs Lawrie for accompanying us on our trip!
