First the children looked at books that are special to them and identified their favourite stories. Next we discussed the messages these books can teach us.

Then we discussed why religious books are sacred. The children learnt that the word sacred means something is special and connected to God. We looked at the story of ‘The loaves and fishes’ from the Bible. We then looked at the story ‘The milk and the jasmine flower’ from the Gurdwara. We compared the messages that both of these books convey. The final story we read was ‘Noah’s Ark’ which appears in many sacred texts across different religions.

Lastly, the children had a discussion about why music is important to worship. We then listened to music from the Sikh Religion. The children concluded that songs tell stories and music makes us happy.
