Graffiti - Art or Vandalism?

I hope you're enjoying the work on graffiti.  This is a 'Banksy' classic that I thought I would share with you.  Remember, this week our focus is the argument AGAINST graffiti.
Also, just a reminder for you Year 6s to keep working through your revision guides for your SATs in May.
