Q4 visit Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre

Q4 enjoyed a trip to the Buddhist temple to consolidate their learning on the curriculum topic of Mind, Body and Soul.

All young people were excited to explore the site, where they spoke to a number of the resident Buddhist monks and nuns, asking questions about their faith and religious practices. Q4 explored the meditation area and understood that meditation can benefit their mental wellbeing. They observed others participating in meditation, with a great display of respect and interest.

A look around in the gift shop before we left also allowed Q4 to recognise Buddhist artefacts and symbolic items, deepening their understanding of the faith.

This was a lovely trip, embedding their knowledge of different faiths and religions and strengthening their British values of Mutual respect and tolerance.
