What's new in the news?

New Zealand is voting for a NEW flag! Room 19 and our buddy class Room 5 voted last Friday. Each student had their own voting card, kindly made by their buddies. Guess what the result was! 23 - 23 An even split for both flags. The votes were counted by a tally chart and checked twice! Who would have predicted this result?
