Jenny here, live with your last Newsround this Saturday.

:00:00.:00:07.

How YOU can help scientists learn about penguins

:00:08.:00:11.

Two friends were on a secret trip, through deepest space they flew...

:00:12.:00:27.

How do you fancy getting involved with some Antarctic research?

:00:28.:00:32.

That's what British scientists are asking kids like you to do.

:00:33.:00:36.

They've set up a network of penguin monitoring cameras in Antarctica

:00:37.:00:39.

BBC reporter Victoria Gill sent us this report.

:00:40.:00:52.

Earlier this year, I joined a team of scientists in Antarctica,

:00:53.:00:55.

where they have been setting up a network of remote cameras

:00:56.:00:58.

Now the images those cameras have captured mean that you could

:00:59.:01:01.

We are a very long way from Antarctica, but these children

:01:02.:01:07.

Every penguin they click on and count on this website

:01:08.:01:12.

will add to the database to help scientists with this

:01:13.:01:14.

The results go to the scientists so they can work out how

:01:15.:01:21.

It's kind of fun to be looking at penguins just from

:01:22.:01:26.

the screen and seeing what they are actually doing.

:01:27.:01:28.

And to be knowing that, like, we are saving them.

:01:29.:01:31.

For a class like this, they could adopt their own colony.

:01:32.:01:35.

They can follow it, learn it and they can learn

:01:36.:01:38.

This is part of a large long-term penguin monitoring project,

:01:39.:01:43.

and watching and counting the birds could reveal how threats

:01:44.:01:47.

like pollution and climate change are affecting the icy environment

:01:48.:01:50.

Well, BBC reporter Victoria Gill is making a documentary

:01:51.:01:56.

all about Penguin Watch and has just got back from Antarctica -

:01:57.:01:59.

What was it like filming in those freezing cold conditions?

:02:00.:02:07.

It was very cold. We had to wear lots of clothing, but it was

:02:08.:02:13.

absolutely beautiful. Lots of sunshine, perfect conditions. And it

:02:14.:02:19.

wasn't just that, you were there with penguins. You are a penguin

:02:20.:02:25.

fan. Who isn't a penguin fan? They are wonderful. You can apply human

:02:26.:02:30.

characteristics to them. But they do smell really bad!. We were in the

:02:31.:02:34.

penguin colonies where the team were setting up their cameras, but it

:02:35.:02:41.

does really smell of rotting fish, which takes away their charm

:02:42.:02:42.

somewhat. You watched the final

:02:43.:02:43.

plans put in place - This is a huge deal for the

:02:44.:02:52.

researchers. They have been working on it for six, seven years now. They

:02:53.:02:57.

hitched a lift on a tour boat, because people go on holiday to

:02:58.:03:00.

Antarctica now. They are setting up a network of cameras that will allow

:03:01.:03:03.

them to watch over the penguins and work out what is causing declines.

:03:04.:03:08.

Many species in Antarctica are in decline. Threadlike pollution and

:03:09.:03:14.

climate change are affecting the population. Side is modified out

:03:15.:03:17.

what is happening. So people can get online, look at the images and help

:03:18.:03:24.

them work out what is going on. -- scientist wants to find out what is

:03:25.:03:25.

happening. Three shipwrecked sailors have been

:03:26.:03:27.

rescued from a remote island in the Pacific Ocean after a plane

:03:28.:03:29.

spotted their message, reading HELP, spelt out in palm

:03:30.:03:32.

branches on the beach. The group of men were

:03:33.:03:34.

trying to reach a nearby but when they never arrived

:03:35.:03:37.

Coast Guards were told about it. They spent three days on the island

:03:38.:03:41.

before being rescued. It's the live final tonight,

:03:42.:03:44.

and Ricky met up with finalist Kevin Simm to find out what life's

:03:45.:03:50.

been like since he entered Kevin, the final is this weekend -

:03:51.:03:53.

The Voice final. I didn't expect to get this far,

:03:54.:04:01.

so it's just all been You were in a band when you were

:04:02.:04:08.

younger called Liberty X. Do you think of those days

:04:09.:04:13.

fondly at all? I look back at it all

:04:14.:04:16.

with a lot of pride, and... Because the videos were different

:04:17.:04:21.

to the kind of videos you see today. You look at yourself and you think,

:04:22.:04:28.

oh, I shouldn't have worn that, or I should have gone to the gym

:04:29.:04:31.

a bit more, and things like that. But no, I mean, it was an amazing

:04:32.:04:35.

experience, and you know, Have you enjoyed actually

:04:36.:04:37.

singing live again? The experience of it

:04:38.:04:42.

all has been brilliant, because the place is buzzing,

:04:43.:04:44.

and obviously I get on very well with all the other

:04:45.:04:46.

contestants as well, Do they realise what's

:04:47.:04:50.

going on at the moment, that you're on The Voice,

:04:51.:04:57.

and that Daddy is doing really well? They obviously love seeing me

:04:58.:05:00.

on the television, but I think, to be fair, they like seeing

:05:01.:05:02.

themselves on television But no, they know Daddy's a singer,

:05:03.:05:04.

and they think Daddy lives on the stage, so they are definitely

:05:05.:05:08.

rooting for me. Finally, imagine listening

:05:09.:05:13.

to a bedtime story read by someone who's not next to your bed,

:05:14.:05:17.

but way up in space! home in bed, Roraigh dog of all the

:05:18.:05:31.

things he had done. They had sometimes been quite scary and

:05:32.:05:35.

sometimes loads of fun. -- Roraigh thought of all the things he'd done.

:05:36.:05:38.

Seven-year-old Roraigh won a competition to have this story

:05:39.:05:40.

read to him by by British astronaut Tim Peake while orbiting 400

:05:41.:05:43.

Tim took time out from science experiments

:05:44.:05:45.

on the International Space Station to tell the tale

:05:46.:05:48.

to Roraigh back here on planet Earth.

:05:49.:05:50.

That's all from me - Newsround's back tomorrow.
