A Peaceful Day Exploring Buddhism 🧘‍♂️🕊️ #BeRespectful

Date: 7th May 2026 @ 9:44pm

As part of our RE topic on Buddhism, we visited a Buddhist centre for a truly special and calming experience. The children were introduced to a beautiful shrine, where Buddhists go to meditate, reflect, and find inner peace.

During our visit, we learned more about the life and teachings of Buddha and how Buddhists aim to live a peaceful and thoughtful life. The children listened carefully and asked some brilliant questions throughout the session.

We also took part in a variety of meditation activities, just like Buddhists do. It was wonderful to see the children fully engaged, showing respect and really embracing the quiet, reflective atmosphere.

This visit gave us a fantastic insight into how Buddhists live their lives and practise their beliefs. A calm and meaningful day for Year 5! ✨
