WeActors:Clash of Coins

The Grade 7s really want to be kings and queens of the castle in the Clash of Coins. There were lots of attacks and defenses in 701, 702, 705 and 706 today, but at the end of the day, 705 is leading with 1385 points, followed by 701 with 801 and 706 with 535. 903 and 904  took a lot of hits with little defense and are both on the negative side.

Grade 9s are reminded to return their surveys as soon as possible.
