Gurdwara

Sikhs provide an open space and kitchen to offer food after worship for people in need. This is the Juniors trying some Dahl Curry from the Gurdwaras kitchen.

Hindu Temple

In the Hindu temple worshipers ring the bell to make others aware that they are entering. Men and women sit together on the floor to worship side by side; in a gurdwara it is optional for women to cover their heads.

Mosque

During our spring term we have learning all about the ‘Blue Abyss’, as part of this topic we had a visit from Severn Trent to tell us about the process of cleaning and recycling water.

Blue Abys

Water savers Vs Water wasters

We also learnt simple ways that we can help to reduce our water wastage such as turning the tap of when we brush our teeth and trying to keep showers to just 4 minutes. Tricky Stuff! We also looked at the importance of the 3 P’s I’m sure they’ll be excited to tell you all about it
