On a bright sunny Wednesday, Rooms16, 17 and 20 went to the temple to learn about food.
First we met a person called Raj. Then we had to put turbans on. Raj had a little presentation about Sikhism. We watched a fighting video and learnt about Sikh people. For us it was cool.
After that, some people were playing music with instruments. It was loud. Did you know the holy book had 1628 pages? A person put food by the holy book and they closed the curtains, so we couldn’t see.
Raj said to come down stairs and eat some food. We were very excited. We had to wait until they brought around the food. It was delicious. We had some curry, roti, kier, dahl and there was some sweet rice. The plates were made out of steel. That was unusual for most of us. Some Indian people were wearing turbans. After we had ate our delicious food we had a look around the temple. There were white mats on the carpet so the sticky food wouldn’t stick to the carpet.
Afterwards Raj said that we have to sit in a line. Raj said that you don’t have to be an Indian to come to the temple and now some people come like us.
We had a glorious day at the temple. If you go to the temple remember these things; take off your shoes and cover your hair as a mark of respect.

Arbor Day
Yesterday we celebrated Arbor Day. The trees we planted were called Magnolia trees. To help the trees grow we put in sheep pellets.
We need trees so we can breathe and so that insects have homes. Also, if you live near or by the motorway you will hardly hear much sound because trees outside your house will block the noise. Also trees produce glorious, beautiful flowers that we see. The trees also give us oxygen that we breathe in. They make it good for the environment.
