Our Class Display
Our 2021 class display is the big tree located on the right hand side when you walk into R3. Each of us contributed to the class display (the tree), we all made a leaf about us. Some people made leaves with the C.A.R.R values and our class treaty on it. We have also included some birds, a squirrel, rabbits and a dog. My contributions for the tree was with the leaves, birds and the squirrel. I think the tree looks pretty unique and original. Things we could of done better were probably the trunk and the branches. If we had more time we could coloured it a bit neater and we could of added more branches.
Here are some photos of our class display and us working it:
