I'm Ricky, you're live with Newsround, and there's nowhere

:00:00.:00:00.

else to be for your top stories this morning.

:00:07.:00:10.

Coming up: Possibly the cutest seal you'll ever see.

:00:11.:00:12.

And fancy swapping your maths class for a lesson in campfires?

:00:13.:00:28.

Would you put in the hard work to make it clean though?

:00:29.:00:33.

Well, in Singapore - a small country in south-east Asia -

:00:34.:00:36.

all school pupils will have to start doing just that.

:00:37.:00:41.

Not many of us like it and we'd all much prefer a tidy School.

:00:42.:00:48.

Question is what is the best way of keeping corridors sparkling

:00:49.:00:50.

Well, the country of Singapore has an answer.

:00:51.:00:59.

From this year on, all pupils will have to take part in daily

:01:00.:01:02.

cleaning of the school environment, and they are being given

:01:03.:01:05.

litter-picking tools to help them on their way.

:01:06.:01:08.

It gives children a sense of responsibility.

:01:09.:01:18.

My favourite, like, chore in class is sweeping the floor

:01:19.:01:21.

It encourages us to clean in the school and also

:01:22.:01:30.

As well as keeping schools clean, officials in Singapore hope pupils

:01:31.:01:38.

will be able to care for their own areas and shared

:01:39.:01:41.

spaces, as well as giving them responsibilities and good

:01:42.:01:44.

But how would you feel if the UK had the same rules?

:01:45.:01:52.

I think it's a great idea because usually we leave

:01:53.:01:54.

If it was during, like, break - the time we usually play outside -

:01:55.:02:00.

I don't really like it because you need to enjoy your life

:02:01.:02:02.

I think it's a good idea but I don't think that I'd like to do it

:02:03.:02:09.

If we do the cleaning, we'll be taking jobs off people.

:02:10.:02:15.

Missed a bit there, Evie. Come on, give it a bit of welly.

:02:16.:02:20.

Well, if pupils did take on more cleaning in school,

:02:21.:02:22.

there's probably one person who would love a helping hand.

:02:23.:02:27.

Come on, Evelyn. Look at that speck of dust there.

:02:28.:02:36.

And let us know what you think - would you want to do more

:02:37.:02:39.

Or what do you and your classmates do already?

:02:40.:02:47.

Do you think your day is busy enough?

:02:48.:02:50.

Manchester City made history last night by reaching

:02:51.:02:52.

the Champions League quarter finals for the first time.

:02:53.:02:54.

They drew 0-0 with Dynamo Kiev, winning 3-1 on aggregate.

:02:55.:02:56.

But their progress came at a cost as captain Vincent Kompany is out

:02:57.:02:59.

for a month with another calf injury.

:03:00.:03:06.

Next up, gaming giants Sony have revealed details about it's

:03:07.:03:08.

The kit will cost around ?350, making it cheaper

:03:09.:03:13.

than the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.

:03:14.:03:16.

It will be available to buy in October, which is much later

:03:17.:03:19.

While it may be cheaper, the headset isn't as advanced

:03:20.:03:23.

If you want to know more about the latest VR tech get

:03:24.:03:29.

A school in Eastbourne in the south of England is trying out a new yet

:03:30.:03:35.

Here, pupils learn to make fires, clay pigeon shoot and tend to water

:03:36.:03:40.

With some schools worried about kids doing anything too dangerous,

:03:41.:03:45.

Dame Judith Hackett, the person in charge of health

:03:46.:03:48.

and safety in the workplace, says the school is a great example

:03:49.:03:51.

of what can be done when activities like this, considered by some

:03:52.:03:55.

schools to be too risky, are well managed by head teachers.

:03:56.:03:59.

If you do anything safely and responsibly, then you're not

:04:00.:04:01.

I think the only way that children will get hurt is if they're not

:04:02.:04:07.

exposed to fires and knives and taught how to use them responsibly.

:04:08.:04:11.

Have a look at this super cutie. This baby seal at an aquarium

:04:12.:04:18.

in Tokyo has been wowing visitors with its wriggling

:04:19.:04:21.

The fluffy little one was born nearly one month ago and weighed

:04:22.:04:26.

It's now just enjoying time with its mum in this

:04:27.:04:30.

Now, things are looking a bit different at the White House today.

:04:31.:04:36.

The American president Barack Obama is getting ready

:04:37.:04:38.

for St Patrick's Day by turning his fountain a shade

:04:39.:04:41.

Green shamroks are the symbol of the special day,

:04:42.:04:46.

which is celebrated every year in Ireland and around the world

:04:47.:04:48.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
