Dotty day!

Before half term, pupils and staff came to school dressed in dotty clothing to raise awareness of the value of Braille, a reading method for blind and partially sighted people.

The aim of the day was to spread awareness of the value of Braille and raise funds to help make every day better for the two million people in the UK with sight loss. 

Dotty day!

Children spent the morning using Braille to decorate biscuits, write secret messages and create dotty paintings. They also learnt about the inventor of Braille, Louis Braille.

Hollie and Darcey in Reception had a lovely surprise for Olivia, one of our pupils who is visually impaired. They created a message in Braille on their t-shirts which read: 'The less we see with our eyes, the more we see with our heart.'

On the afternoon, we had a special visit from Jade and Silk (Jade's very well behaved guide dog). While Silk enjoyed all the attention, Jade answered our numerous questions. We hope they will be back to see us soon.

The day ended with a cake sale which raised a fantastic £175 thanks to lots of yummy donations. Huge thanks to our Browney friends who continue to support our events.
