Primary 2 pupils visited Motherwell Heritage Centre on Tuesday 10th October to discover more about their home town. The children found out that Motherwell’s name originates from a well (the Lady Well) which was dedicated to Our Lady, patron of Cathedral Primary. Our young learners had the opportunity to compare old and new maps of the town and also made their own maps showing their journey to school. They also looked at old photographs of Motherwell and compared these with how it looks today.

As always, Heritage Centre staff were thoroughly impressed by our pupils’ manners, enthusiasm and hunger to learn new things.
