As part of our RE unit Year 4 visited Iskcon Temple in Newcastle to learn different aspects of Hinduism and the beliefs of Hindu people. The temple was filled with lots of artifacts, statues and pictures of different gods and goddesses. We listened carefully to Hindu stories all about Vishnu, the god of creation. Next we dressed up in beautiful Indian costumes and painted Indian floral designs on our faces. We even learnt to play an Indian drum from Bengal. Finally we performed a Hindu wedding ceremony, where we learnt the different religious rituals. We found the whole experience fascinating and will remember the visit for a very long time.
