Year 8 Visit Buddhapadipa Temple

This week, 30 Year 8 pupils visited the Buddhapadipa Temple in Wimbledon to build on their learning on Buddhism. During their visit, pupils listened to an informative talk inside the temple, where they asked thoughtful questions and demonstrated excellent engagement with the speaker. They heard about symbolism in Buddhism and they learnt more about the Theravada tradition of Buddhism. They had the opportunity to explore the beautiful temple grounds, gaining further insight into Buddhist architecture and symbolism. Finally, they took part in a session of Buddhist meditation, which many pupils found peaceful and calming. The pupils represented the school brilliantly.
