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

The last faculty exam today with our National 5 French pupils sitting their exam this afternoon. Bonne chance à tout le monde!

@JulieKe18305493 @OLHSMotherwell @scottishbktrust @BookWeekScot 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.

Very much looking forward to our author visit with @JulieKe18305493 as part of @scottishbktrust's @BookWeekScot celebrations. See the link below for more details. scottishbooktrust.com/book-week-scot…

Fantastic Día de los Muertos celebrations in the Language Faculty today. S1 created skull masks, made sugar skulls out of giant marshmallows, took part in a quiz and took part in some Mariachi singing! #DiaDeLosMuertos @OLHSMotherwell
