Krishna’s presentation on Hinduism was an excellent display of knowledge, visual content, stories, dressing up and pupil interaction. The presenter has a lovely manner with the students, explaining the Hindu concepts gently but effectively and constantly checking the understanding of the students through various means. Krishna spent three periods with our S2 pupils (age 12), which works out to be the equivalent of 240 minutes and the time just flew by. My students told me that their favourite parts where dressing up as the gods and goddesses and learning about Hindu beliefs like reincarnation and the atman (soul). Krishna’s presentation also tied in with The Aberdeenshire Framework for a 3-18 curriculum emphasising, as it does, the cultural experiences of the students. In addition to this the presentation also involved elements of A Curriculum for Excellence. I would recommend Hinduism Education Services to any teacher who wishes to expand their pupils’ experiences and also their own, as it also acts as a delightful piece of CPD.

Year 7 were very impressed with the workshop that was delivered by Indriyesha today.   The students thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the information given, the lovely mix of colours and materials that they were allowed to wear, and being able to participate in the wedding ceremony.  They enjoyed their learning by actually experiencing the culture firsthand. St Ivo were very happy with what Indri delivered today and I am sure that we will be touch for this to happen next year too.

When the children in Year 3 heard that they were going to have a visitor to talk about a Hindu wedding, they were excited, but didn’t know what to expect. What they got was a fantastic morning of hands-on experience and a unique chance to dress up as the wedding party and guests. The children listened, were interested and thoroughly enjoyed the session. If you have the chance to have Krishna visit your school, take it! It will excite, enhance and enrich the children’s learning experience. By the way, adults get to dress up too!

I wanted to say what a fantastic day the children (and staff!) had with Indri! The workshop was delivered brilliantly and everybody learnt so much! My class are using a lot of the day for our class assembly to the rest of the school. The opportunities for them to be fully involved and try out the costumes and the dances was an experience that they will never forget!  I’m hoping I will be in Year 4 next year and that we can use your workshop again (if not I will most definitely be recommending you!).
