Year 4

Our trip to Bradford

By Jake Taylor and Paige Ellis

On Thursday 25th March Class 9 and Class 10 went to Bradford to an Indian temple. When we got there we had to go up some stairs and had to take of our shoes because it was respectful to the gods to do this. We went into a special room where we listened to a lady called Mrs Buttoo, who told us all about the Hindus and what they did for their Gods. In this room we had to have our legs crossed or kneel because if we had our toes facing the Gods it would be disrespectful to the Gods.She also talked about Indian symbols and clothes. Sonny , Rebbecca and Millie tried on some Indian clothes. After that we went and watched the Hindus worship their Gods and we all joined in by clapping. I thought that the Hindus singing was really good. The priest made circles with the Ghee lamp to worship the Gods with the most important things to the Hindu like Air, Water, Food, Space and Earth. At the end of the service we all got some Prashad, which is blessed food, and it was an apple. After having a lovely dinner we went to the Bombay stores. Most of the things at the stores were for girls so I bought my sister a ring. It was then time to get back on the coach where i fell to sleep on the way home but I had really enjoyed my day at the Hindu temple.
