International Dot Day September 15th 2021

International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15, 2009.

The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”.   What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe. 

This week in Visual Art we celebrated International Dot Day by creating artworks with a dot theme. Here are some of the fabulous pieces created by our students. They are amazing! Well done to everyone who  contributed!
