Here's what's coming up on this Thursday's Newsround.

:00:00.:00:17.

I've come to this school in Rio, where they are using sport bring

:00:18.:00:26.

able-bodied and disabled bodies together.

:00:27.:00:29.

And find out why this cute cub is hitting the headlines.

:00:30.:00:37.

First to Rio and what a night it was for Paralympics GB.

:00:38.:00:40.

They won ten medals in just one hour with nine gold medals for the day.

:00:41.:00:44.

It takes their tally of golds to 43 and the competition

:00:45.:00:46.

Hannah Cockroft triumphed in the T34 400m race in a world

:00:47.:00:54.

record of 58.78 seconds, while her 15-year-old team-mate

:00:55.:00:59.

Kare Adenegan claimed the bronze, her second medal in Rio.

:01:00.:01:07.

In the pool Aaron Moores pipped team-mate Scott Quinn to gold

:01:08.:01:09.

It was also gold for Michael Jones, silver

:01:10.:01:14.

:01:15.:01:16.

for Hannah Russell in the S12 100m backstroke.

:01:17.:01:24.

And Sophie Wells grabbed gold with her horse "Valerius" in the

:01:25.:01:26.

For more information on who has won what, head over to the programme

:01:27.:01:47.

Staying with the Paralympics - even though the games

:01:48.:01:50.

are being held in Brazil, many disabled children

:01:51.:01:52.

there face huge challenges in their everyday lives -

:01:53.:01:54.

4 out of 10 of them don't even go to school.

:01:55.:01:57.

But a new sports project hopes to make all children feel included.

:01:58.:02:00.

So this school is in one of the poorer parts of Rio but they are

:02:01.:02:16.

doing something special today through the power of sports and

:02:17.:02:23.

games. - they are bringing disabled and able-bodied children together.

:02:24.:02:31.

TRANSLATION: I really enjoyed playing the football with the club.

:02:32.:02:37.

It was a lot of fun! TRANSLATION: My favourite part was

:02:38.:02:40.

when we were playing with the ball, we had to go all over the place, and

:02:41.:02:47.

under the cover to pick it up. But I thought it was really cool!

:02:48.:02:53.

TRANSLATION: I like to run, you get to feel what it is like being blind.

:02:54.:02:58.

We were able to have a lot of fun, cheer and win. It was great fun!

:02:59.:03:07.

TRANSLATION: Having a sister with a disability is cool. She plays like

:03:08.:03:13.

everybody else and she's just like everybody else!

:03:14.:03:19.

TRANSLATION: It's great having people with disabilities in the

:03:20.:03:22.

classroom. The important thing is to help one another.

:03:23.:03:26.

Sometimes if they forget things I help them out.

:03:27.:03:34.

What's it been like having the Paralympics at Rio? It's been

:03:35.:03:41.

sensational, really incredible. This is my first Olympics but it has been

:03:42.:03:46.

really incredible, a real privilege to watch. It's been emotional and

:03:47.:03:51.

very cool. It shows how the people of Rio are great fans. It's been

:03:52.:03:56.

very cool to have you here. A lot has changed. The city is more

:03:57.:04:03.

colourful and vibrant, an excited crowd and great to have them here.

:04:04.:04:10.

Now, what does an oak, a birch, or a willow

:04:11.:04:14.

Well, according to a new book they can talk to each other.

:04:15.:04:18.

They reckon trees can talk, feel pain, learn, care for each

:04:19.:04:21.

other and even warn other trees of danger...

:04:22.:04:23.

I met up with a tree expert and asked him if trees can REALLY

:04:24.:04:28.

Trees really can talk but not as we do it, they do it via the roots, by

:04:29.:04:40.

a network which is working like our internet.

:04:41.:04:43.

What kind of things do they talk about? When trees are attacked by

:04:44.:04:49.

insects it hurts, so they don't think of themselves but warn each

:04:50.:04:53.

other, their neighbours, so that they can prepare and to be better

:04:54.:04:59.

prepared for the insect attacks. Or when the trees are thirsty and there

:05:00.:05:03.

is no water in the ground, they warn the others to reduce water

:05:04.:05:07.

consumption. What is also surprising is that a mother tree knows which

:05:08.:05:12.

seedlings are its child by testing them with the root tips.

:05:13.:05:17.

Now to the clever crows who can use tools to get food.

:05:18.:05:20.

The Hawaiian Crow is thought to be only the third type

:05:21.:05:23.

Researchers from the University of St Andrews hid food in logs

:05:24.:05:27.

in holes which the birds couldn't reach with their beaks.

:05:28.:05:29.

Almost all the birds picked up twigs and used them to fish out the food.

:05:30.:05:33.

And before we go check this out, a cute cub panda

:05:34.:05:35.

It tried for more than a minute to flip from its back

:05:36.:05:39.

at a nature reserve in China.

:05:40.:05:55.

Newsround's back this afternoon with Ricky at 4.20pm.
