This week, we celebrated International Dot Day. This is a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration. The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, 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.
Each year on International Dot Day, the inspiration continues. What started as a story in the pages of a book is transforming teaching and learning around the world as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do.
Ms. Owusu-Ansah read the story and then everyone went back to their classrooms to create their own wonderful dots. Our school is full of fantastic artists! It was great to see everyone come wearing dots. Some were very creative with their dotty outfits!
