Feeling the heat at this school's pancake-flipping competition.

And things are hotting up as Mount Etna erupts.

First, we're talking holidays in space!

An American rocket company has said it's going to fly two tourists

The announcement's got us pretty excited here at Newsround HQ.

Are you fed up with the same old boring holidays?

Looking for something a bit different?

Well, why not try a one-of-a-kind destination

In case you didn't know that's about 30 Earths away.

A top-of-the-range rocket will take you on a trip around the Moon.

This unique location has not been visited for more than 40 years,

and has all the thrills, with none of the atmosphere!

For the small price of a lot of money, SpaceX are giving two

lucky holidaymakers the chance to fly around the Moon

Like any space travel, there are some risks involved. There will be

test flights beforehand. Make sure

you book enough time off - Lift-off is scheduled

for 2018, so don't miss out! At Newsround online we're asking

what you'd take with you if you went Casey's already been in touch

to say "I would take my My music player. Got to have some

tunes in space. Back here on Earth, these pieces

of buried treasure could be the oldest pieces of gold ever found

from the Iron Age. The four torcs - three

necklaces and one bracelet - are thought to be around

2,500 years old! Experts reckon they were worn

by rich and powerful women. They've gone on display

today for the first time, and were discovered by two friends

while metal detecting Now, many of us will be enjoying

something else golden today - Happy Pancake Day,

or Shrove Tuesday, everyone. We've been to a school where

they take pancakes really seriously. We love pancakes! The best thing

about pancake day for me is that you can run in the race sometimes, and

also we have contest in school. The best thing about pancakes is you can

have different toppings on them. You can either for pudding and

breakfast. You can have anything on them, or just plain tastes nice.

Pancake day or Shrove Tuesday is a Christian tradition. Christians

eight pancakes before they started fasting for 40 days in Lent. They

used up foods that won't be eaten in this time like eggs, milk and

flower. As well as pancake eating, there is the pancake racing. It is

believed it first started in our town way back in 1445. It still

happens every year today through the high Street. Here at our school we

celebrate with our own pancake flipping competition. And we take it

very seriously! These are the rules. Everyone gets 30 seconds to flip

their pancake as many times as possible. The winner from each

school has goes into the final where they flip for the ultimate prize,

this golden frying pan. I feel really excited that I won the award

and I was the best flipper out of the school. Happy pancake debt!

I know what I will be having for dinner tonight. Sausages!

Well, it's not too late to join in with Pancake Day!

but officials there say there's no danger to people living
