Pt England Art Exhibition Writing
This afternoon at pt england school we had a Art Exhibition where everyone walked around the school and into classes to look at their amazing artwork that they had been working hard on. My favourite was Room 9 and 10 because i like the colours and the culture designs. My second favourite is Team 1’s art because they made an art with their faces then put on paper and decorated it when we were done looking around we walked back in class to eat our lunch.
