Congratulations to Grace and Ben, this year's winners of the Knights of St. Columba public speaking competition! The participants from @TaylorHS1982 and @StAidansHigh did themselves proud too. Many thanks to the Knights and to @TaylorHS1982 for hosting. 🥳

S1 English participated in some outdoor learning yesterday. They took inspiration from Dalzell Estate to help them use their senses to create setting in their imaginative writing. #outdoorlearning

S1 pupils entered the land of stories today during a visit with storyteller Michael Kerins as part of our @scottishbktrust Live Literature events. Pupils entered the storytelling world via the storytelling tunnel and were captivated by Michael's tales.

Thank you so much for visiting us and giving us lots of confidence to write in Scots, Julie!

S1 had a fantastic time with author @JulieKe18305493 today, listening to the use of Scots in her novel, 'Ma Mum & William Wordsworth', and learning to write in Scots themselves. Julie joined us at @OLHSMotherwell as part of @scottishbktrust's @BookWeekScot programme of events.
