Auckland Elephants to be Relocated

 

Pt England School Art Exhibition

 

Friday was just a normal day of school. We had assembly and everything but after morning tea was different. After Morning tea the whole of pt england school had an art Exhibition and if you don’t know what that means well it's similar to an art gallery so we set up the area and waited for Mr J to say we are able to look at the art. So our first area we went to was room 9 and 10 as room 678 walked across the school. I looked carefully for what kind of art I liked and once we got to team 5 I waited to look at the art and I saw art by room threes window which was an emoji. I loved team 5s art because they used the emoji to express their feelings. And this is my art about the patterns and what it represents.I also loved Room 6,7 and 8s art work.
