term 2 week 2

Buddhist temple

Yesterday we went to the Buddhist temple the first activity we did was a tour around the grounds of the temple. First she showed us the gardens it was awesome there were rocks from all around the world and the grass and trees were symmetrical. Next we went to origami we made flowers first we put down the green leaf then the biggest  star then the next star, until we finished making the flower.




 Then we went to the big Buddha monument it is white jade with gold leaf.  Once we finished learning about the monument she told us about the bell and the drum. The bell is struck at 6.00am before the drum then at 4.00pm the drum is banged then the bell is struck the drum weight is 300 and the bell weight 3,000. After that we went to have morning tea we got brownies and water.




Then we watched a movie it was about a kid how wanted to know what the most power fill person has he has to think good thoughts,say good words and do good things. Next the police did a presentation about 3G one police man lets call him Jeff and the other Bob.  Jeff was playing basket ball by him self and Bob asked to join Jeff but Jeff  said no so Bob played rugby with the other group then Jeff wanted to play with Bob so he asked and bob said yes. Next we did mediation we sat cross legs and our thumbs touching then we breathed in and out.  After that we went back but before that we got a wind chime to take home.
