Hello, I'm Ayshah with Newsround on Monday morning.

Here's a taste of what's coming up today:

We start your build up to the biggest footie

tournament this summer and...

Ready? Set? Throw!

The custard pie competition making a huge mess in Kent.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to launch a rocket into space?

Jenny's been to meet school teams from around the UK who've been

finding out just that, in a cosmic competition.

Three, two, one, zero.

A huge rocket heading into space with astronauts

inside, but how do engineers make it happen?

These students have been learning to make their own mini-rockets

with some expert help and there is only a little time left

before the big launch.

34 school teams from across the country have

been taking part in the UK Rocketry Challenge

and today, it's the finals.

Teams have to build, launch and land a rocket safely.

It's got to get high enough in the air and

keep flying for long enough and all the time

keeping its contents, two raw eggs, safe and secure.

I'm really nervous but I'm really excited at the same time.

Probably the most fun bit for me would be when you get

to launch a rocket.

We have already been to the regional finals

and launched our rocket and it came fourth.

We've built it, made it better and hopefully

it flies better today.

But safety is top of the agenda.

You don't launch when there are people around, cars around,

aeroplanes around or animals around because you can scare animals.

It has to be done responsibly and with adults.

The rockets are ready.

It's almost time for lift off.

Three, two, one...

That was awesome.

So cool.

It was actually really good.

We expected it just to fall.

I'm really happy the parachute came out,

otherwise it would have just crashed.

The winners will now be heading to Farnborough Airshow

in July to compete against teams from around the world.

The day is almost upon us.

Euro 2016 kicks off in just four days' time.

With everything you need to know about the history and

the changes to this summer's tournament, here's Leah.

The Uefa European Championship.

This is the 15th edition of the European Championship,

formerly known as the European Nations Cup,

which was first held in 1960.

France are the host nation for the third time

after 1960 and 1984.

For the first time, 24 teams are taking part in the finals.

Five countries are making their European Championship debuts -

Albania, Iceland, Slovakia, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Germany and Spain have both won the championships three times.

France have won it twice.

Russia, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Denmark

and Greece have all won it once.

The winners will qualify for the 2017 Confederations Cup.

Germany and Russia have already qualified so if they win,

then the runners up will qualify instead.

Let the kick-off began.

Wales played their final friendly warm-up game

last night ahead of the Euros.

Their preparations ended with a 3-0 defeat to Sweden.

Wales have only won one of their last seven games,

but manager Chris Coleman is staying positive.

We knew we were up against good opposition.

But I think we are a bit disappointed,

certainly, to concede three goals in the manner in which we did that.

That was disappointing, you know.

But I rather that happen now than when we get there next week.

The World's number one tennis player Novak Djokovic beat

Britain's Andy Murray at the French Open final in Paris.

It's his first French Open title.

Djokovic has now won 12 major titles, becoming

the first man in over 40

years to hold all four of the big tennis titles,

called Grand Slams, at once.

Athletics now, and a brand new British record in the 3,000

metres for double Olympic champ Mo Farah.

The record had stood for 34-years but Mo broke it

at the Birmingham Diamond League.

Great work, Mo!

Finally, take a look at this mucky bunch.

Things got really messy for this lot this weekend.

It was the annual pie custard competition.

Teams from around the world, most of them in fancy dress,

hurled pies at each other.

The winners were the Custard-teers.

That's all for now, we'll be back at 815.
