Glasgow Gurdwara
In RE, Primary 4 and Primary 4/3 have been learning about different religions from around the world. To extend their learning on Sikhism, both classes went on a trip to the Glasgow Gurdwara. Despite taking a quick stop at the wrong Gurdwara, the two classes had a fantastic day and learned a lot about Sikhism and what Sikhs believe.
We saw inside the Darbar Sahib (the prayer hall) and even experienced a Sikh sermon being given by a visiting Guru; complete with hymns and readings from the Guru Granth Sahib (the sacred scriptures). We also enjoyed trying out the instruments for ourselves, and loved tasting Sikh food in the Langar (the Gurdwara's kitchen).
A huge thank you to Mrs Kaur, Mr Singh and everybody at the Glasgow Gurdwara - we had a fantastic day!

| Mrs Kaur, our guide, taught us some very interesting information about Sikhism before we went into the Dardbar Sahib. |
 |
| We were lucky enough to see a sermon in the Darbar Sahib (the prayer hall). We all sat in silence on the floor. |

As part of the sermon, we also heard some hymns. These were played by members of the Gurdwara's congregation.
 |
| After the sermon, Mrs Kaur showed us the 5 Ks. These are the most important objects in the Sikh religion. |
 |
| We also got to try some of the instruments! |
 |
| Mr Singh taught us how to tie a turban, which Kian modelled brilliantly! |
