E-SAFETY TIP
Filtering software is useful to protect your children on
the home pc but communication with your child is
equally as important since they could access the
internet from a friend’s house completely unfiltered.
BRAINTEASER
There are twelve socks in a drawer: six red socks and
six blue socks. The room is completely dark, you
cannot see.
Question : How many socks must you take from the
drawer before ABSOLUTELY having either a pair of red
socks or a pair of blue socks in hand?
WISE WORDS!
I am not going to limit myself just because people
won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.
Dolly Parton, Entertainer
LAST BRAINTEASER ANSWERStart the 7 and 11 minute hourglasses when the egg is
dropped into the boiling water. When the sand stops
running in the 7-glass turn it over. When the sand stops
in the 11 glass, turn the 7 glass again. When the sand
stops again in the 7 glass, 15 minutes will have elapsed.

Gloucestershire FA have teamed up to donate old football
