Good afternoon. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
It's Monday and you're live with me. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Keep watching for some of this: | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
The tower blocks in Blackpool going down. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
And the climbers in Brazil staying up for a new world record. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
First, the author behind the Tom Gates series, Liz Pichon, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
has created an artwork called a tapestry, to mark 950 years | 0:00:26 | 0:00:31 | |
since the Battle of Hastings - one of the most important events | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
in English history. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Kids have helped her choose the big historic moments on the canvas. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
It's meant to be a modern-day version of the famous | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Bayeux Tapestry, which tells the story of William the Conqueror | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
and the Norman invasion of England. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
The children came up with all the ideas. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
They are the ones that picked all the moments in history, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
and so it was my job to try and turn it into kind of | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
like a sort of Bayeux Tapestry. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
But obviously we were going to have a bit more | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
of a modern twist to it. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
They particularly asked me because they wanted me | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
to do it in a style a bit like the Tom Gates books. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
I have actually hidden in a few characters from Tom Gates. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
I also like particularly this scene, the V Day scene, which marks | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
the end of the Second World War. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
I thought it would be quite fun because my dad was an RAF pilot. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
I've stuck him in - that's him with his little moustache. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
It's just four days to go until the Rio Olympic Games kick off | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
in Brazil, but four years ago it was all about | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
the London 2012 Olympics. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
Team GB won a massive 65 medals and there were loads of other | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
memorable moments too. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
Ricky's been taking a look back. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
It's nearly four years now since the Olympics came to London | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
and what a Games it was. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
The big star heading into the Games was Mr Usain Bolt. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
The pressure was on him to deliver on the track, and he certainly | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
rose to the challenge. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
He's pulling away! | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
He's going to win the gold! | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
9.64. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Team GB cyclists were favourites going into the Games and they | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
certainly didn't disappoint. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Here comes Wiggins now! | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Sir Bradley Wiggins stormed to victory in the time trial, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
the team winning another 11 medals, including a record sixth gold | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
for Sir Chris Hoy. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
The swimming pool also saw records broken - | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
American Michael Phelps became the most successful Olympian | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
of all time in London. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
He finishes right on top. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Team GB's defining moment came on the day now forever | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
remembered as Super Saturday. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Greg Rutherford is the Olympic champion! | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
Jessica Ennis, the best all-round athlete in the world. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
Mo Farah for Great Britain, it's gold! | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
Others came into the Olympics with a point to prove. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
After narrowly missing out on gold in her three previous Olympics, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
finally tears of joy for rower Katherine Grainger. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
At long, long last, Katherine Grainger is | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
the Olympic champion. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
Over in tennis, Britain's Andy Murray got revenge on Roger Federer | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
just weeks after losing to him at Wimbledon. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
London 2012 was a ground-breaking Games for women. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei sent athletes to the Olympics | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
for the first time ever, and in boxing women were finally | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
allowed to compete in the ring, with Team GB's Nicola Adams | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
bursting onto the scene. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Nicola Adams of Great Britain has just made sporting history! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
And the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonathan, picked up | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
gold and bronze in the triathlon. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Although not everything went to plan... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
Oh, here you go, the first calamity. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
..it was an incredible fortnight of sport and will certainly | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
take some beating. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Over to you, Rio. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
This group of 150 climbers in Brazil have been getting | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
into the Olympic mood, by using rope and coloured clothes | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
to form the floating Olympic rings off a bridge | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
in the city of Sao Paulo. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
They're hoping to break the world record for the largest | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
formation of its kind. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
And while they were trying to stay up, back in the UK, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
these tower blocks in Blackpool are about to go down. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
There they go. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
They were demolished yesterday in a series | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
of controlled explosions. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
They were first built in the 1960s, but now new homes will be put | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
in its place by 2018. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
And it's been a good weekend for Harry Potter fans | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
after the Cursed Child script was finally released. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
If you've read it, then we want to hear | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
