This week we had another very special guest visit us!
Pagpa is a Buddhist monk at the Buddhist centre in Preson who came in to share what he does with the children. We learned about what Buddhists believe in and how they carry out their beliefs. The children in middle school had many interesting questions for Pagpa that allowed him to share what his life was like.
Children asked many mature and interesting questions - they questioned to whom Buddhists worshipped and why. They asked where Buddhists worshipped and how, which lead us to learn about meditation and mindfulness. Children were able to draw lots of contrasting and similar points about Buddhism, Christianity and other religions we have looked at in our RE lessons.
Overall a very insightful visit!
