29/05/2014 Newsround

coming to you live from Newcastle, Gateshead, where we are taking over

Baltic Square for the next three days. You can see the action from

our live camera overlooking the River Tyne. If you come along, you

will catch a host of stars on the main stage. Already, hundreds of

children had taken part in the event. The gang from Blue Peter have

a huge amount -- announcement. But firstly, the top story. Earlier

today, we went on the hand for some headlines with some local children

and with the hand of some famous see BBC faces, she came up with this.

I've got to find a story of the Newsround, I've got a meeting. Hi,

guys, I need a story for Newsround. I've got a great idea, you can do a

story on Johnny and Inel. We have to get lunch now. Sam

and Mark, great, I need a story for Newsround.

When Chew at the One Direction concert last night? I wasn't, I

thought you were. That was yesterday's news.

These kids are from NE1 two, a project which helps kids in

Newcastle. Perhaps they have an idea. I hope you guys can help. A

story on the World Cup? Your youth centre? Giant fish in Indonesia. You

guys have given me loads of great ideas but I am really interested in

the youth centre you go to. Why is it so important? We can hang out

with our friends, there are fun things to do and we love going

there. They have helped us get jobs and things like that. I like her you

can be creative. Sounds like this youth centre is really important to

you, why should Newsround cover it? The stereotype of young people, we

are trying to change it. Old people might feel that these young people

are doing good for their lives. When we come down, what are we going to

see? A dance studio. Gadget room. I think we will check it out, I will

get the camera crew ready. So the clock is ticking, they have

less than 24 hours to get the story film so we can bring it to you this

time tomorrow. Let's see how they are getting on. Somewhere in the

ground over there... I have the kids with me right now.

Can you just tell us, why is your youth centre so important to you?

There are loads of activities, it is fun to hang out with your friends.

What about you? At the start that make everything special. Did you

have fun coming up with the ideas? I liked the shark story, the one that

let all the fish out. That is a great story. What about the things

you have done today, tell me about the badge? It is a badge but it is

good, because it has your name flashing on and off. That is

fantastic. Thank you so much, we will see your report tomorrow, but

if you look around me here, there is loads of amazing stuff. There is a

dance class going on, I am not going to lie, I want to join it. There is

a music centre, loads of sport. It is absolutely brilliant. The sun is

shining, it wasn't earlier, so I am really grateful and make sure you

tune into the report at 4:20pm tomorrow, you can see the whole

thing. Back to you Ricky. It was raining earlier, but it is

very bright now. So much to come from Newcastle today, including a

very special Blue Peter. Here are the details. You have to watch in

about an hour, one of us is going to become a knight, that is true, and

we are revealing the brand-new 2014 Blue Peter sport badge. We have the

Olympic gymnast medallist Lewis Smith and some exclusive

performances. And I just saw Pixie Lott rehearsing onstage. Newsround

is back here at 6:50 p.m., we will be behind the scenes having a sneaky

nose around. Who knows who she will bump into? Head over

nose around. Who knows who she will by loads of pictures from Newcastle.

Have a great afternoon.
