Term 2 Week 2
Yesterday on the 11th of May all of the Yr 5 and Yr 6 went to the Buddhist temple.
We learnt about 3g (do good deeds, say good words, think good things) and 4g (give hope, give joy, give confidence, give convenience. We made origami lotus flowers and we learned about mondo grass, if pressure gets applied to it, (eg. you stand on it) it will jump up straight again. Its just like a person, it shows resilience.
We learnt that the bell then drum is used at 6:30am to remind people to do 3g. (it weighs 3 tonnes)
The Drum then bell is to reflect on the day (weighs 300kg).
The giant Buddha statue weighs 8 tonnes and is made out of one single massive chunk of white jade and some gold leaves.
The Police did a presentation about 3g and 4g and just before we left we got a wind chime which apparently if you forget 3g and 4g you blow on the spinney thing and you remember the 3g and 4g again.
