Wow! Have a look at our colourful furniture we have in our Senior Arts Room. Tables of yellow, red and green. And … a brand new rug on our floor with lots of primary and secondary coloured squares. A very inspiring look for sure! Here is a photo of 4B happily showing their Hundertwasser Artwork they have been working on this term. If you would like to see more please come down to the main corridor during Term 2 and have a look at our evolving display.
