Hi everyone, welcome to 'All Sorts', the webpage that lets you know about school projects and upcoming family community events, as well as challenging your grey matter - aka your brain - with quizzes, jokes and riddles.

QUIZ

On your right you'll see a quick quiz, just 15 little challenges. See if you can answer the questions and name the fairy tales hinted at by the pictures. This is a great quiz based on a similar challenge that I saw once. I thought it was so neat I adapted it for this website.  E-mail your answers here and all correct entries will go in the draw to win a brilliant prize. One entry per e-mail address and if more than one family member would like to enter simply send each persons answers through on the one e-mail. The competition is open to all children aged 12 and under.

We push his nose when we want in
and he must squeal or chime or sing,
like dentists we say, Open wide!
and once that's done we slip inside.
 

How about this one?

 
On the top sits fire,
In the middle gold
At the bottom grass.
 
At the top you stop
In the middle wait
and at the bottom, pass.
