On Tuesday, year 3 went on a train to visit the Guru Nanak Gurdwara because we are learning about Sikhism.

First, we went to the train station by foot and carefully hopped on the train. It took about 30 minutes to get to our destination. We walked over to the Gurdwara that was right across the road. When we arrived we had to take off our shoes and wash our hands.

Then we met our tour guide, who was very welcoming. She showed us upstairs and showed us a video about the 5k’s. The 5k’s are the Sikhs’uniform that they wear everyday and when they go to the Gurdwara. Sometimes because of what they wear and carry, they get questioned.

Afterwards, we went back downstairs to see where they put their holy book. It was hidden in a small bed that looked beautiful and shiny. Then our class went to the Langar hall and ate food.  Each Gurdwara serves food for free to people every day. Some people said the food was yummy and delicious but I didn’t enjoy it that much because it was too spicy for me.

Finally, we went back to where we had to put on our shoes. We left the Gurdwara in peace and went back to the train station then arrived at school in the early afternoon.
