Comments for Northampton Sikhs http://www.northamptonsikhs.org "One cannot comprehend him through reason, even if one reasoned for ages" Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:41:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Sikh Education Visits by Fiona McWilliamhttp://www.northamptonsikhs.org/services/sikh-education-visits#comment-48 Fiona McWilliam Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:41:38 +0000 http://www.northamptonsikhs.org/?page_id=424#comment-48 We would like to thank Mr Singh for giving the girls at St Mary's Cambridge Junior School such an interesting morning. The assembly was a reflective time and the presentation and question and answer sessions to each year group in KS2 relevant and informative. The girls were able to enhance their learning and enjoyed seeing the artifacts that Mr Singh brought. A very worthwhile experience.

We would like to thank him very much for his time and patience. Everyone found Mr Singh very friendly and approachable. He has a very quiet and calm manner with the children and adapted his teaching to deal with children from 3 to 7 years old. The children loved learning and listened well. They also remember a great deal about Sikhism which is a true testament to good teaching. Thank you very much and we hope to see you again next year.

Having lived in many places in the UK and USA, I can confirm that given the size of the community, Northampton Sikhs are very active and are a shining example to many other community organisations with much larger Sikh populations. One suggestion though, and I don't mean to sound too patronizing :I really recommend taking advantage of Social Media to further enhance a sense of community, Facebook,Twitter and sending out a newsletter to subscribers are three reltively easy and effective ways to do this.

He engaged all the pupils in an assembly, even the very young ones. The time spent in the classroom with the Year 5 and 6 pupils taught them so much in a way in which no amount of lessons could. Mr Singh's manner with the children was excellent and all staff commented on how he wished each of us 'goodmorning'. He really showed us all how it is possible to live your faith. We would definately have no hesitation in booking another visit and would unreservedly recommend it to any other school. We had a really excellent visit from Mr Harkirat Singh.
