16/02/2012 Blue Peter

Coming up today, there's nothing more Live 'n' Deadly than a tankful

of sharks. We sent Naomi on a mission to help three of nature's

scariest predators to move house. How got a towel anywhere? And Brett

Domino will be helping you pick your favourite children's book.

Give me a B on that key beard # Plus we meet the winner of the most

sought after sat ewe at this year's mighty Brit Awards.

Hello. Welcome to Blue Peter. We've some incredible things lined up for

you today. Including this guy. at him go. It's Keelan Phillips.

Those are proper tricks everybody. Don't try this at home. Three times

flatland BMX champion. He'll show more tricks later on. This week is

half term for loads of you. No doubt you've been up to some

unusual and exciting things. We want to know what you've been doing.

Drop us an email. You might see your name on the

telly. Now, a Blue Peter exclusive. One of London's biggest aqairyupls

sees three new rest dents entering its premises. Naomi Wilkinson was

there. Sharks, deadly predators with up to 15 rows of teeth. They

can smell a single drop of blood from over a kilometre away. It is

no wonder this mighty fish has survived for over 400 million years.

What happens when a ferocious beast like this wants to move house? I've

come to London aquarium to find out. Every day, thousands of visitors

come here to watch and learn about 14 different species of shark.

There's the sand tiger, the largest at a whopping 2.6 metres long. The

zebra shark with its stripes that turn into spots as it matures

providing camouflage from predators above. And the heavily armoured bow

mouth shark nofrplly found hunting for prey on the seabed. Today,

these guys have to make room for three more tank maitsz -- tank-

mates. Say hello to the black tip reef shark. Jamie, have have you

decided to introduce black reef tip sharks into your aquarium? We've

never had black tip tip reef sharks before. What's special about them.

They have these black tips on their dorsel fins. They are fast swimmers

and excellent hunters. They are found in shallow waters. Sharks

like to stay where there's more water beneath them. These guys like

to come right into the shallows. I've seen them in the wild with

their fins out of the water. Jimmy fills me on this amazing

animal there's something I have to tell him. I have a bit of aphobey

about sharks, being this close to them. We'll make sure you're safe

and it is safe and stress-free for the animals too. Statistically,

you're seven times as likely to be killed by a falling coconut than a

shark. Right now, that's not making me feel much better. In the wild,

black reef tip sharks are found in the Indian and Pacific oceans in

the reefs. Each shark goes into a bong owe. One of these black

containsers full of artificial salt water. My goodness me, my heart is

beating fast. We pushed the bong owe up two floors. To a platform

right above the huge shark display tank. One down, two to go. We moved

the black tips quickly and carefully so they don't get too

stressed. With the second one in as well, I'm starting to get the hang

of this. I've decided to up the anti-y. This time, I'm going to

help catch the third and final shark. I love the way you've left

the biggest one for me? Grab that. One, two, three. Soaking. And again,

in we go. Pull the net out. Well, that was easy! Have you got a towel

anywhere! And off we go. All three black tips are safely in the

display but separated from the other sharks by a specially adapted

net. They tend to give off certain stress chemicals when we've moved

them. The other fish can pick up on that. It might make them nervous as

well. This gives them a opportunity to get used to the bigger

environment. Tomorrow morning, we'll release them and they'll be

able to go out and explore. night falls, it is time for the

black tips to get some much -needed rest before they meet their new

tank-mates tomorrow. Fast forward 24 hours... It's really early in

the morning. I'm back at the aquarium. It is a very big day for

our black tip sharks. It's moving in day. The big moment has arrived.

Don't see how these guys react to the other ten sharks in the tank.

Let's do it, shall we. The plan is to push the holding net down,

allowing the black tips to swim out into the tank. But it looks like

they have other ideas. They don't seem to want to go straight out.

We'll get another member of staff to help encourage them and show

them the way. With a bit of encouragement, one by one, the

three black tips swim over the threshold of their new home. Hello!

Hurray! So, moving in day has been a success. The black tip reef

sharks are getting on well with their new housemates and seem very

happy in their new home which is more to be said for me standing on

this glass floor. Honestly, sharks can play the cello. Have you never

heard them? Da-in a. We'll announce the winner of the Blue Peter book

Presumably you can only do tricks with one of those? Probably started

years. What's your favourite children's book of the last ten...

Sorry, I can't help it. You get to select the winner. Here's a bit

more about the nominees. We know lots of you love reading.

With thousands of brilliant children's books available, we've

been wondering which is the best. We want you to decide for us. We've

pulled together the top ten bestselling children's books from

the last ten years and are giving you the chance to vote for your

favourite. Before you make up your mind, here's a little bit about all

The best thing about this book is Harry is coming ofage. He has his

first date on Valentine's Day, a lot of pressure for Harry. He has

to deal with killing off Lord Voledrmolt but have a relationship.

It is the kids killing and fighting against right against all the odds.

In Candyfloss, Floss's parents are divorced leaving her with the

decision of who a live with. Jacqueline Wilson's full of fun and

she really gets inside the head of the person in that swraigs. This is

about a real child who you feel could be you or could be a friend

of yours. I think hopefully, that helps a lot of young people going

through some really difficult times, know how to think and deal with

those vaigs situations better. next in our vote for the top ten

children's books is skaf private Peaceful. A story set in the First

World War. This is a brilliant book. It's a way of bringing history

alive. You feel that you were there. You can imagine it's not just

unknown people going to that war. It's as if you are going and being

there and what that war meant to the people who went through it and

the people at home were waiting for them. Next up is the first in the

popular series of diaries which see Greg starting middle school with

uncool best friend roly never far whined behind. My little girl Lola

is pretty much obsessed with Diary of a Wimpey Kid. Roley is my

favourite character. He's attracts troupbl. The character's show

nobody's perfect. Everybody has their worries, concerns, about

popularity and growing up. books left vying for your vote.

Skeleton Key is Alex Rider's book about a spy. One of the great

things about reading is you can be the person you'd most like to be.

think most boys and girls would want to be Alex Rider. I would want

to be him. I'm a girl but I would still want to be him. He's living a

dream. He's a teenage spy. This Theodore Boone John Grisham turns

his hand to writing a law 46 based thriller for a younger audience.

is original to have a book about a child lawyer. We've spice and

detectives but never come across a book about child lawyers. I've read

books by John Grisham, this is someone who really knows how to

write a thriller, how to write about power, powerful people, quite

often up to things that are not too good. The Us a tear Academy sees

the three orphaned children confronted with a new school and a

nightmare vice principal. I read this book without knowing anything

about it and loved it. The thing I like about Lemony Nick et is he

doesn't pull any punches. He writes about three children who lost

parents in a fire but it really draws the readers in. I love the

vice principal. He never listened. He's very irritating. You grow

anoud at hem. In this installment of the Horrid Henry collection he

tries to win football particular etsz and continues to pick on his

perfect brother. On one level, you can say Horrid Henry's revolting

but you get to love him. He's the bit of you that's horrid. Anybody

who has any form of sibling really identifies President with the

relationship between Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter. You always think

your brother or sister gets better treatment than you. You think, I

remember that, that's what I'm like. There are two beaks remaining.

Silver Fin is the story of a young James Bond back at school. It comes

with a health warning. If you have a snake phobia, be careful Reading

this book. -- reading this book. Eels and snakes feature a great

deal right from the beginning. favourite character in Silver Fin

is James Bond, of course. I also love the fact Charlie Hickson drops

all these little hints and clues into the book about what James will

become when he's the adult spy. I like seeing ought that develop.

final books follows young girl choy who -- closey who meets Mr Stink.

He's a complicate person. It is nice in funny books to have people

who are complicated. We come to care about him. There's a lovely

bit in Mr Stink where they are trying to get him to have a bath.

They think he's run away. They look out of the window and he's having a

bath in the pond. And his dog is not black but white. If you want to

massive this year. This South after award is only five years old. It

looks like they are pretty good at picking the next big thing. This is

the award to take home on the night. The critics choice is the big award

from for emerging talent in Britain at the moment. Every year, the

person who wins it goes on to huge success. This year's winner came to

my atense in the middle of last year. She happens to be from the

same country as me. She has a wonderful voice. She could have

come out in the sevenities, eighties or nineties and been a

huge success. Who is this person whose life is about to change

forever? Listen, you I've come to this pop star hangout in London to

meet her. If you haven't heard of her already, you soon will. Her

name is Emily Sunday. Three years ago, Emily was studying at

university in glass go. But she was catapulted from student to Scottish

singing sensation. Emily has already collaborated with the likes

of Professor Green, Chipmunk and will support cold play on their

summer tour. Emily's real name was Adele but had to change it so

people wouldn't get confused between her and the other Adele.

Emily, fantastic to meet you. Are you well? Very well, thank you.

Congratulations. Bet you can't wait to pick up the award on Tuesday?

Yes. How excited are you? 10! Cowell said you are his favourite

songwriter at the moment. And you're the first person to ever win

the critics choice and be nominated in another category. Tell us about

your background. How did you get into music? I always loved music

from when I was really small. In school, I'd take music lessons, and

I would sing in all the concerts. I just loved it from when I was very

young. Were you ever tempted to go on a talent show like X Factor?

me, no. People did ask but the idea of singing other people's songs

didn't appeal to me. If you want to write songs, maybe a different

route is better. Where do you get your inspiration from? The first

song I had in the charts was skach dip Munch diamond rings. I was

hovering my room when the idea for the song came to me. You never know

when inspiration will hit. That kind of inspiration has taken Ellie

all the way to this Tuesday's Brits. But is she ready? Have you sorted

theout fit out, yet? Not yet. I'm really bad at being quite last

minute. Any suggestions? No, no. Definitely not. I'm sure you'll

have to find something quickly. pretty quickly. Do you know whose

table you will be be sitting on? know I'll be with my mum and dad.

What can we expect in 2012? next big thing is the album will be

released. After that, I'll do lots of shows. I'm quite excited.

the best for the Brits on Tuesday. Good luck with the album as well.

Hope to see you soon. Wow, she's one seriously cool and talented

lady. I think we'll see a lot more of her in 2012. I think she'll win

a fair few more of these in her career. Why have I got it? Nobody

claimed it. I think I'll just keep it. Its's mine now! I'm not sure

he's meant to take those. He may be taking one away but Ed Sheeran will

take foray way hopefully on Tuesday. We said earlier get in touch if

you're doing anything unusual for half term. Sian said me and my

mates went to art classes. We drew you guys. Send them to us. Chloe

and Kirsty have been to see the Muppets. Hang on a second. This is

impressive. Theo has been in touch to say he's been swimming with

sharks in Tenerife. Well done, Theo. That's it for today. But tune in

next week. Tinchy Stryder will be showing you how easy it is to

customise your trainers. You can use as many colours as you want. Up
