PUPILS learning about religion got hands-on as they learnt to tie a turban.
Students at Marine Academy Plymouth (MAP) explored the Sikh faith, history and the lives of Sikhs in the country today – as well as learning about those who fought for Britain in the First World War.
The Year 7 students were joined for their studies by Councillor Chaz Singh and his wife, Sarah.
The youngsters learned about the Gurus, the Gurdwara and the Guru Grant Sahib, and as well as looking at the 5 Ks of Sikhism, the students wrapped up the lesson with some hands-on learning.
The boys learned how to tie a turban with Cllr Singh whilst the girls had the opportunity to wear a sari and a bindi.
MAP student Leon Davey said “It was awesome! I loved wearing the turban.”
Fellow student Kieran Carey said: “I didn’t know who those people wearing turbans were – but now I know that it is a symbol of the Sikh religion. I learned loads about Sikhism.”
