pt England art exhibition

 Today this afternoon  at pt England school we had an art exhibition that means the school has to walk around the classroom.  I liked  team 5 ones because they had spots on their art and it looked cool.  Then my second favourite was our ones because it shows culture all around the world that's way. The art was so beautiful then we went back to class and sat down and played cool maths games.
