Year 4 have ended the half term with a visit to Wimbledon's Buddhapadipa Temple. Children were able to draw on their knowledge of Buddhism in conversation with the resident monk. It is a truly wonderful place of worship right on our doorstep. pic.twitter.com/Ka1znsq254— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) February 14, 2025
