On Friday 14 October 2022, Kirtlington C of E Primary School enjoyed a day of Hindu Workshops provided by Hindu Education Services. It was a fun, educational and informative day and the host, Indri, was friendly, knowledgeable and very entertaining. The interactive workshops brought the children’s learning to life and they enjoyed dressing up, dancing and discovering more about Hinduism.  There was also the opportunity to buy a souvenir diva lamp to remember the day, which most children took advantage of.

Following the class workshops, Indri provided an informative and useful CPD twilight for staff, explaining misconceptions, answering queries and offering the opportunity to buy Hindu teaching resources.

Overall, it was an excellent day with an amazing selection of artefacts. Hindu Education Services were very professional responding quickly to queries and we would definitely use them again and recommend them.

Best wishes

Hello Krishna

Thank you for your kind message about the recent workshop on Hinduism that Indri delivered.  It was a fantastic morning, not just for my Year 5 and 6s, but for the whole school.  Indri had everyone transfixed in the morning assembly with facts and stories from the Hindu faith.  He had great energy and established an immediate rapport with children and staff alike.

I would thoroughly recommend your services to other schools.

With thanks and best wishes.

Good morning Krishna and Indri,

 

We all really enjoyed your visit and learned so much about Hinduism. We had lots of fun.

The children would like to say – Namaste.

 

Kind regards

Beth

 

We were lucky enough to be visited by both Indriyesha and Krishna on a very windy day in Blackpool! With the  range of artefacts and resources, and the knowledge and passion from Indri and Krishna, the children were fully engaged and absorbed in the learning. It was great to see the children asking so many interesting questions and participating in the range of activities on offer. The day finished with a very informative staff training session which supported us with our subject knowledge.

Dear Krishna,

Thank you for coming to Packwood yesterday morning. We seemed to do so much and the children were hanging on your every word! We all had a lovely time, learning more about Hinduism, about each other and having fun! As we said it is such a valuable experience because we used all our senses and our whole bodies to learn and I know it will stay with the children, just as it had with all the older children who, when they saw you, were reminded of their own experience years before.

Best wishes to you and Indri, look forward to next year.

With best wishes,

Roz
