Sights, sounds … and the heady smell of incense; welcome to Congo and Yangtze classes, Mrs Rughani, and thank you so much for your amazing, multi-sensory talk on Hinduism. A practising Hindu, Mrs Rughani brought in a variety of Hindu artefacts to enhance her lesson. Following a ‘questions brainstorm’ from the children before the event, Mrs Rughani talked to the children about Hindu gods (and how similar they are to the Christian Trinity) and also about Hindu shrines.
The children made books to record their work in. They also drew some Hindu symbols and found out about their meanings. Lots of the children also enjoyed trying on the Rakhi bracelet, which has some similarities to the friendship bracelet, which most of the children are familiar with.
Thank you, Mrs Rughani, for a really interesting and informative talk.
