As part of the Year 5 Religious Study curriculum on Sikhism, the children visited the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Luton.
The trip brought to life everything that the children explored in their Religious Study lessons and supported their understanding of the key values and practices within Sikhism. They were particularly interested to learn that the Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib, is given as much importance and respect as a living guru. Learning from a practising Sikh about the five Ks as markers of Sikh identity and how the Gurdwara provides hot meals twice daily for members of the public regardless of religion or ethnicity, enriched children’s understanding further. It was a wonderful opportunity to see the Sikh practice of ‘selfless service’ in action as the children saw students from Luton University arriving in the langar for their lunch!
