Riddles

On Friday afternoon we were learning about riddles. We thought about the animals that had been on Noah's Ark and words we might use to describe them. We learnt how to write riddles and the rules we had to follow for writing our own riddles. We had to use the word "I" in our clues, start a new line for every clue and finish with "What am I?" We also had to give the trickiest clues first, and save the easiest clues until near the end so as not to give the answer away too quickly! Here are some of the riddles we wrote - can you work out which animals we are describing?
