Hi, I'm Hayley with your afternoon Newsround update.

Keep watching for everything you need to know this Thursday.

First, one of Nigeria's missing schoolgirls has been rescued.

She was one of 276 students taken from their school

by an extreme Islamic group called Boko Haram.

Ricky's got the story.

In April 2014, 276 girls aged 16-18 were kidnapped.

They were taken from their school in Chibok, a town in Nigeria,

West Africa, by Boko Haram, an extreme Islamist group.

Boko Haram don't believe in girls having an education.

57 of the girls who were taken managed to escape

but 219 remained missing - and the school in

Chibok stayed closed.

What happened shocked the Nigerian community and millions

of people around the world.

Some came together and formed the #BringBackOurGirls campaign,

including US First Lady Michelle Obama,

the Prime Minister David Cameron

and education campaigner Malala Yousafzai.

Nigeria's government, with the help of other countries

has tried to find the girls, but some people say

they've not done enough.

But now, over two years after she was taken,

one of them has been found.

Amina Ali Nkeki has been reunited with her mum and her community

The search for the other girls is continuing

but the families still waiting for news

say Amina's rescue has given them fresh hope.

Remember, if there's anything in the news that upsets you,

you can head online and take a look at our special guide

for advice on what to do.

Now, what will you be studying today at school?

History?

Maybe you're having a science lesson?

Well imagine actually visiting Egypt for yourself, or going on a journey

through the human body, but you don't even have to leave

the classroom - Martin's looking at the tech making this possible.

Newsround HQ told me I'd be going on an incredible trip today but it

looks like they've sent me back to school.

OK, guys.

We're going to be learning about ancient Egypt.

Don't worry, Martin. You're going to enjoy this.

Woah!

This is virtual reality learning where kids can explore

amazing places without even leaving the classroom.

I can see the Great Wall of China!

It's part of a new project designed by Google to bring

learning to life.

To allow kids to go on a virtual school trip wherever

their teacher wants to take them.

Using just a smartphone, this cardboard headset.

And a selection of apps.

It's an amazing experience for these children.

Now we can go on a school trip under the sea.

We can go on a school trip to Mars, anywhere around the world,

all without leaving the classroom.

The experience uses 3-D and 360 degrees

images and videos and is being tested in schools around the world.

So, what do these guys think?

People my age like this because you get to

see all the different parts of the world.

I love to have a school trip because you get to go in the place

more and you get to feel everything.

I've seen the stars.

I've seen the sun. I've seen the Earth.

You can just see what's under the sea and if

you can't swim, you can just use the goggles.

It makes it more fun to

come to school because you know that every day you're going to get a

surprise and at the same time you're going to learn.

This group seemed to have enjoyed their lessons today and

this might be how more classrooms work in the future.

But, as for me, I'm feeling a bit lost.

Finally, do you know what you're having for your tea tonight?

Well this busy group of chefs is about to make you hungry

for pizza, with this...

the longest pizza ever made!

It stretches for 1.8km - that means it

would take you about 20 minutes to walk from one end to the other.

Pizza-makers came together from all over Italy to make the massive meal.

To celebrate the win - pizza for everyone!

Head online for the rest of today's stories,

including the idea for a sticky car that makes the roads safer.

That's all from the Newsround team today.

Ricky's here in the morning. See you!
