This week, Mr Dot came into Great Binfields Primary School to help us with an art project. This is part of our celebrations to mark the 200^th anniversary of the braille code.

Mr Dot is an artist with a vision impairment. He came in to school wearing bright yellow dungarees covered in braille code. Mr Dot spoke to the children about his dreams of becoming a world-famous artist and of a world that embraces braille. 

Each child in school was given the task of creating a cube, decorated with their dreams. The children produced some fantastic artwork. Many of the children have dreams about becoming footballers, astronauts, bakers and teachers. Some other children spoke about being able to travel to the moon, or being able to buy a new car for their parents.

The artwork created was bright and colourful and the children had an amazing time talking to their classmates about their dreams and ambitions.

Once the art was completed, the children added the braille code for the word dreams to their cubes.
