We have made some of our own art based around four themes:.
  1. Making a statement based on current issues
  2. Education themed art
  3. Hobbies pupils like to do
  4. Replicating Bansky


Here is the display we made using the artwork

We then juiced the oranges to work out how much we made.

From one crate, we made 3.65 liters of orange juice.
