Primary 7 was the last year group to make the short walk to Motherwell Heritage Centre on Wednesday 26th February for a workshop linked to Cathedral’s 150th anniversary. Our oldest learners had the opportunity to handle materials connected to Motherwell’s industrial past, including coal and iron, as well as smell carbolic soap (there was unanimous agreement that no-one will be using it next bathtime!). There was also the opportunity to write on slates and handle Victorian artifacts, including a chimney brush and even a potty! A highlight of the visit was a climb to the top of the tower, where Primary 7 learners enjoyed a bird’s-eye view of their hometown, including Cathedral Primary.
Many thanks to the Heritage Centre for organising the workshops and for their continued support with Primary 7’s preparations for May’s 150th anniversary exhibition in St Bride’s Hall.
Please continue to pray for Pope Francis, as he remains in hospital:
