Stonehenge moving
A report in the Salisbury Journal has claimed that Stonehenge is moving to Wales.
Archaeologists think the stones that make up the monument came from a site in the Welsh Preseli Hills but it’s very unlikely they’d ever be moved back there.
The article claims a group called Friends Observing Outstanding and Lovely Stones (FOOLS) has been calling for the 5,000 year old structure to be moved.
That’s a big clue that this is fake news.

It said: “The Scottish island was lost to the sea centuries ago, but has recently risen out of the waves and was spotted by our Flying Unit.”
Lots of people have commented to say they know it’s a prank.
Sky contract for dogs
