Another good week at Heaton school!

Art is a subject that is embedded throughout our curriculum. This week some groups took part in some activities to recognise International Dot day - a day that holds a special power to ignite creativity and courage within us all. Students created some truly incredible artwork that celebrates a beautiful story.

“The Dot” story tells the heartfelt tale of a compassionate teacher who believes in a doubting student’s potential, challenging her to trust in herself and bravely “make her mark.” What starts with just a simple dot on paper blossoms into a profound symbol of confidence and daring—fueling a transformative journey of self-discovery, hope, and sharing. This inspiring story has touched the hearts of children and adults worldwide, reminding us all of the incredible things that can happen when we dare to believe in ourselves.
