It turns out that Wednesday 20th March was ‘national proposal day’ and pupils from Primary 7c took the opportunity to make a proposal to Mr Young he just couldn’t resist.

Our three Primary 7 classes will be visiting Motherwell library on Monday 25th March to meet and listen to Scottish children’s author, Lyndsay Littleson. The eager learners turned up at Mr Young’s office armed with detailed information about Lyndsay Littleson and her books, the skills they had used to pull this information together and even a ring and a flower to propose that all seven of the author’s novels, including Euro Spies, Guardians of the Wild Unicorns, Secrets of the Last Merfolk and Titanic Detective Agency, be purchased for our school library. How could Mr Young possibly resist their persuasive charm?! It was a resounding YES!
