 Today we learned about algorithms online.  We read a fake news feed about two fake politicians and had a class vote.  After the vote, we realized that not everyone was given the same feed to read and this led to a discussion about algorithms.  We also had a presentation in the gym today from the Earth Rangers.  We got to see some interesting animals. Information on becoming and Earth Ranger is also coming home today. Homework tonight:  - home reading  - word study if not complete  - word study dictation tomorrow  - Yr 6 Immunization forms due tomorrow  - Yr 6 vision screening information sent home Have a wonderful evening!
