Reading Mission
Congratulations to another of Miss MacLeod’s pupils for completing his Reading Mission. The aim of this mission was to challenge himself to widen his reading choice and read more books for pleasure. All of Miss MacLeod’s other pupils are also on their way to completing their Reading Missions. Written by Mrs Leckie.
Political Literacy Event
Prior to the event, pupils worked hard researching their chosen debate topic “Schools could do more to tackle mental health issues”, choosing to argue for the motion. They also worked hard discovering what our school does to promote political literacy through pupil voice and debates throughout the school, creating a colourful and informative display board to showcase at the event. On the day we were given the opportunity to use the Motherwell Council Chambers for the debates, and all pupils from North Lanarkshire schools had the opportunity to be involved. Our S2 pupils very eloquently argued for their motion, including some excellent points about what schools could do more of to tackle mental health issues. The opposing argument came from a senior pupil.
Congratulations David Turnbull and Motherwell FC U20s
On Sunday Motherwell FC U20s booked their place in the U20 Scottish Cup Final at Hampden on the 27th April with a comprehensive 3 0 victory over Ross County at Victoria Park.
