What did we do today?

• First thing this morning, we had a catch up time to finish our word problems for math and our book box journal.
• Ms. Jones read us a book about Terry Fox and how he was determined to work on a challenge.  Some of those challenges were getting on the basketball team in high school and running across Canada to raise money for cancer.  At the end, he was awarded many high honours, such as the Order of Canada for his dream and hard work. 
• We ran the Terry Fox Run today.  Before the run, we had an assembly to warm up and the Terry Fox club gave us some stretches to do.  Our class ran 118 laps, which is 118 km!  That is the distance from Calgary to Innisfail.  The school ran a total of 876 laps (not including Room 5's total).

Questions:

1. Which class has brought in the most donations for Terry Fox?
2. How old was Terry when he first got cancer? - 18 years old
3. How far is where the school ran to?
