Stay tuned for everything you need to know this Thursday. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Could your school be opened for longer? | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
And What happened when Arsenal clashed with Barcelona. | :00:10. | :00:22. | |
First, could your school day be about to get longer? | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Well, the Government said yesterday kids in England might be spending | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
more time in the classroom in the future. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
The idea was announced in yesterday's Budget. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
That's when the man in charge of spending the UK's money, | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
George Osborne, sets out his plans for the year ahead. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
3:30pm and it's home time. It's when most of you finish school. | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
But the Government announced plans to extend the school day in England | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
so you finish later in the afternoon. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
It means secondary schools in England could be opened up | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Now, that's additional time that would be used for more lessons | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
and even after-school activities like art and technology. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
So how would you feel about staying at school for longer? | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
It'll be all right if it's good lessons. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
If it's bad lessons, it won't be good. | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
I like being in school and having fun, but when you stay on too long, | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
I have to go home to do my homework straight away, but if you had longer | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
hours in school, I could get the teachers to help me do it. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
If we're there longer, it will affect our learning, | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
because we won't be concentrating as much because we'd be tired. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
If children had extra education then they wouldn't have enough time to do | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
the stuff children should be doing, like hanging out with friends. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
I think I would miss more time with my family and playing | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
saying children will miss out on family time at home and that some | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
schools might struggle to find enough money to stay | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
The Government said they will give money to help schools in England, | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
but there may not be enough for everyone. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
So if your school decides to extend your day, well, | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
you could be in the classroom for a little bit longer. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
We asked you what you think about the idea of a longer school | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
day and absolutely loads of you have been in touch. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Bethany from Cheltenham said: I think that having longer school | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
days wouldn't be the best because kids won't have enough time | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Emily agreed, saying: I think the idea is ridiculous. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Children are already stressed about having to go home after school | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
and do homework and revise for tests. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
We aren't machines, we need rest too. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Meredith in Leeds is concerned about losing out on time | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
to practice her own hobbies after school. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
She said: I swim every day and if the school day was longer | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
My life time goal is to be an Olympic swimmer. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
Some of you thought longer school days | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
Tom in Hastings said: I think that the school hours should be | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
longer because we will have more time to do things such as revising | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
for tests with the support of teachers. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
And Belle in Sussex had this suggestion: It's a good idea | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
if they change the morning time to later as well, | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
There's still time to get in touch if you want to have your | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
say on this. Go online after the show. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
As well as plans to charge your school day, the Government's also | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
said many sweet, fizzy drinks are about to get more expensive, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
to try and get us to cut down on sugar. | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
They say the extra mile race from sugary drinks is expected to be | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
hundreds of millions of pounds a year. It will pay for more support | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
in primary schools. The changes will start in two years' time. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
There's loads more on the Budget and how it could affect you over | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
To football now, and Arsenal were outdone by reigning champions | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Barcelona in the Champions League last night. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
They were beaten 3-1 in the second leg. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Barcelona will now go on to the quarter finals. | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
Manchester United and Liverpool face each other again tonight | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
in the second leg of their Europa League last 16 tie. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Liverpool won the first leg 2-0 at Anfield a week ago, | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
with goals from Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
And while they may be big favourites against Louis Van Gaal's side | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
at Old Trafford, the Manchester United manager is up | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
It's a big chance and we have to believe in it. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
It starts with the players, of course. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Defence has to have a lot of impact on the pitch. | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
-- it starts also with the fans. The fans have a lot of impact. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
