Treasure is something special to you. It doesn’t have to be gold coins. Listen to Daniel talking about the paintings that he and his brother Christopher did on an art course and answer the questions.

My treasure for the show and tell today is these paintings. My brother Christopher and I painted them last year when we were doing an art course in the summer holidays. You can see that they both show a snake in the desert. We haven’t been to the desert. But we’ve seen pictures and that’s why we chose the red, orange and yellow. On our art course, the teacher showed us lots of paintings by aborigines. The first people who came to Australia. So we tried to use that style and I think our paintings are a little bit like aboriginal art. My mom put both our paintings in this frame. And at home, it’s on the wall in the living room. When we have visitors, she always tells them that we painted these pictures. But we don’t really like that.
