Riddle of the Week
Well done to everyone who told me the correct answer to last week’s Riddle:
Two fathers and 2 sons spent the day fishing, but only caught 3 fish. This was enough for each of them to have one fish. How is this possible?
The correct answer was ‘It is possible because there are only thee people – Grandad, Dad and Son (2 fathers and 2 sons).
This week’s riddle is:
I make a loud sound when I’m changing. When I do change, I get bigger but weigh less. What am I?
A house point to every pupil who shares the correct answer with Mr. Clark.
Can your child solve it without parental help or googling it?
Thank you for your continued support. Please get in touch via the school office if I can assist in any way.
Kind regards
Mr. Clark
