As part of our Science week, we were really pleased when a P4/5 pupil’s mum who is a science teacher at Taylor High School agreed to come in and work with P4/5 today making noisy putty. Pupils really loved the science investigation making the liquid change to a solid. Pupils mixed glue, water, food colouring and the chemical ingredient(Borax) to make their putty which pupils will be able to mould with during the week. Thank you, we really appreciated your visit today.

Please get in touch if you could help us to support your child’s learning in the classroom by providing any other lesson input.

Girls in all classes really enjoyed their football taster session today in partnership with Motherwell Football Club.

There is club running on a Friday evening at Fir Park if your child is interested. Please look on Motherwell Football Club’s website.

Martin and Andrea from Missio came to visit today and told us all about the amazing working that Missio do in Africa. We’re excited about helping even more in the future. They even taught us a song!

This P7 pupil displayed real kindness and embodied the Catholic Mission of our school by raising money to support St. Andrew’s Hospice.
Well done, we are all so proud of you! 

We said goodbye to an old St. Patrick’s pupil for the second time on Friday but this time she was working with our staff.

Thanks to Holly for returning and for working well with our pupils last week. Thank you from all the staff for the lovely card ( it will definitely last longer than the biscuits which seem to have disappeared already ).

Good luck with the rest of your busy year at Taylor High School!
