After 5 minutes on the coach we arrived at the Mosque. We waited outside for the lady to show us around and we looked at the interesting and unusual writing outside, which we learnt to be Arabic. It was very important to cover our heads with a scarf or a hat to show respect to Allah. Once inside the Mosque we had to take our shoes off to show respect and keep the floors clean. Then we all sat on the floor with our legs crossed to learn about the religion of Islam. The carpet we sat on was divided into squares to show how much space people need to pray. 
After that we walked a short way to the Mandir, which is the Hindu Temple. Once again we took our shoes off to show respect. Next we rung the big bell sensibly to show we were arriving in the temple. Hindu's ring the bell to say hello and goodbye to God. We learnt what the Aum sign looks like and what each part means as well as how it sounds. Some people that visit the Mandir pour milk over a special snake statue. Before we left we walked carefully around the marble statues, which we learnt are called Deities, that are very important to Hindu's. 
After the Mandir we walked down the road to the Gudwara. Once at the Gurdwara we lined up in two lines as boys and girls and covered our heads once again to show respect. After taking our shoes off we went into a big room to learn about the 5K's that are important to Sikhs and we listened lots because we wanted to learn, not just have fun. We walked round the special book and learnt it gets put to bed every night just like we do! Then we went to the Langar hall to eat curry and special bread. It tasted amazing!
Finally we went back to school to finish an exciting morning by eating our packed lunch.
