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. | |
for Jonathan Fox in the S7 400m freestyle final and a gold | :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. | :05:56. | :06:02. |
