Temple visit to Fo Guang Shan

On Tuesday the 22nd of May I went to a temple called Fo Guang Shan. We learned a whole lot about the finder of the temple and a whole lot more, we also learned about 3g and 4g. But we had a normal Tuesday at school until 11:45am because we had a early lunch because we had to get on the bus at 12:00pm. It was in Riccarton.

When we got there we were split into 2 groups. Group one and two. I was in group one.

3g 4g is 3 goodness and 4 giving.

When we got into our groups we all had to sit down and listen to the teacher talk. Not the Hornby High School teachers but the teachers at the temple. After we had a talk with the teachers we split back up into our groups and my group went upstairs. When we got up the steps we got to this kind of long corridor but it had like cool stuff in it.

Then when we went in a room that was a little art gallery there was a chair but there were people behind the chair so we had to get of the chair. We saw lots of art work and the teacher told us all about the art in the room.

After we were finished in the art gallery we went to the library that was in the temple. Half of the books were in Chinese and half were in English.

After the library we went out side to get water tattoos that can come off, but they were fun to put on. It was in English and Chinese again. But we were there for a little bit then we went to make something.

We were taught how to make a lotus flower. The petals were not really my colours (pink) but it was fine.

After the water tattoos we went out to have a snack, we had 2 chocolate chip cookies and water. After we ate both groups went inside to sit down and watch something.

We watched a movie about something but I forgot what the movie was about but I know it was about the temple.

Then the police came and taught us stuff about how to be a police officer and they let us touch the bulletproof and stab proof lining that was inside their jackets. Then they ask someone to come up and then one more person. Then a few people were aloud to put police suits on.

Then after that we had to go home but it was really cool and we got a wind chime before we left as well.

I really liked going there and want to go on more school trips.

Here are some photos of my group and group 2:
