It's Thursday and you're watching Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Off to a flying start - the Paralympics kick off in Rio. | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
And the record-breaking jumping llama. | :00:15. | :00:28. | |
First up, we're talking about what you wear to school - | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
This week one school forced lots of students to go home | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
because they weren't wearing the right uniform. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Whether it's a shirt, blazer or tie - | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
school uniform is part of everyday life. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
But this school in Margate in the south-east of England has | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
been turning children away for not wearing the right clothes. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
They're not plain black leather shoes, they've got colour on them, | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
More than 50 have been sent home from Hartsdown Academy, for not | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
sticking to the school's dress code, including Kimberley. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
I was really angry because I came in on Tuesday | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
and was ready for school, in full uniform. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
But she was wearing black suede shoes - | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
I then got given a letter and just got sent home. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
So what is on the school's check list? | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
When it comes to shoes, no trainers and no canvas shoes. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
No skinny trousers or leggings - they have to be | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
The new rules have angered some parents, but the head teacher | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
says uniforms improve behaviour and grades. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Actually, taking a stand where we say, we care | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
about you so much that even uniform, even these things matter because | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
we think you matter, ensures that children believe in themselves | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
There are now reports of other schools who've been turning | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
away their students because of their uniform - | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
including in north Wales and Gateshead in the | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
We want to know what you think about this. | :02:07. | :02:13. | |

Now, after a spectacular opening ceremony last night, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
the Paralympic Games have officially kicked off. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Here to bring us the latest is Martin - live from Rio. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Hello, you're joining me on quite a cloudy day here but that's not | :02:31. | :02:45. | |
affecting any of the sporting action and after a colourful opening | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
ceremony last night, loads of kids and families have swamped into the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Paralympic Park behind me to soak up some of the first day's action. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Today there's 38 medals up for grabs, and in that stadium behind | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
me, the velodrome, Dame Sarah Storey has just set a new world record in | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
qualifying, taking half a second off her own record. She's on her way to | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
winning a 12th Paralympic gold in the C five pursuit final tonight but | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
that's not the only world record being said here. Megan Julia, who is | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
favourite to take a gold medal at these games, knocked three seconds | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
off her time today to make it to the grand final, and there is more news | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
for Paralympics GB as Bethany Firth won her race in the S 14 freestyle. | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
Ollie Hynd also qualified in the men's 400 meter freestyle, the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
European and world champion so hopefully he can go all the way to | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Olympic gold. That's all from Rio but if you want to find more about | :04:01. | :04:05. | |

who's the world's tallest, in fact! She stands 96 centimetres tall | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
and lives in Florida in the US. She's now officially the tallest | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
