0:00:02 > 0:00:03Good afternoon.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05It's Monday and you're live with me.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Keep watching for some of this:
0:00:08 > 0:00:10The tower blocks in Blackpool going down.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15And the climbers in Brazil staying up for a new world record.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25First, the author behind the Tom Gates series, Liz Pichon,
0:00:26 > 0:00:31has created an artwork called a tapestry, to mark 950 years
0:00:31 > 0:00:34since the Battle of Hastings - one of the most important events
0:00:34 > 0:00:36in English history.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Kids have helped her choose the big historic moments on the canvas.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42It's meant to be a modern-day version of the famous
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Bayeux Tapestry, which tells the story of William the Conqueror
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and the Norman invasion of England.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52The children came up with all the ideas.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54They are the ones that picked all the moments in history,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58and so it was my job to try and turn it into kind of
0:00:58 > 0:00:59like a sort of Bayeux Tapestry.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01But obviously we were going to have a bit more
0:01:01 > 0:01:03of a modern twist to it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05They particularly asked me because they wanted me
0:01:05 > 0:01:08to do it in a style a bit like the Tom Gates books.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I have actually hidden in a few characters from Tom Gates.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I also like particularly this scene, the V Day scene, which marks
0:01:13 > 0:01:15the end of the Second World War.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I thought it would be quite fun because my dad was an RAF pilot.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I've stuck him in - that's him with his little moustache.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24It's just four days to go until the Rio Olympic Games kick off
0:01:24 > 0:01:27in Brazil, but four years ago it was all about
0:01:27 > 0:01:28the London 2012 Olympics.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Team GB won a massive 65 medals and there were loads of other
0:01:31 > 0:01:32memorable moments too.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Ricky's been taking a look back.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38It's nearly four years now since the Olympics came to London
0:01:38 > 0:01:42and what a Games it was.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47The big star heading into the Games was Mr Usain Bolt.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50The pressure was on him to deliver on the track, and he certainly
0:01:50 > 0:01:52rose to the challenge.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53He's pulling away!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55He's going to win the gold!
0:01:55 > 0:01:579.64.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Team GB cyclists were favourites going into the Games and they
0:02:01 > 0:02:03certainly didn't disappoint.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Here comes Wiggins now!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Sir Bradley Wiggins stormed to victory in the time trial,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13the team winning another 11 medals, including a record sixth gold
0:02:13 > 0:02:15for Sir Chris Hoy.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19The swimming pool also saw records broken -
0:02:19 > 0:02:23American Michael Phelps became the most successful Olympian
0:02:23 > 0:02:25of all time in London.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27He finishes right on top.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Team GB's defining moment came on the day now forever
0:02:30 > 0:02:33remembered as Super Saturday.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Greg Rutherford is the Olympic champion!
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Jessica Ennis, the best all-round athlete in the world.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48Mo Farah for Great Britain, it's gold!
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Others came into the Olympics with a point to prove.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56After narrowly missing out on gold in her three previous Olympics,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00finally tears of joy for rower Katherine Grainger.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04At long, long last, Katherine Grainger is
0:03:04 > 0:03:05the Olympic champion.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Over in tennis, Britain's Andy Murray got revenge on Roger Federer
0:03:09 > 0:03:14just weeks after losing to him at Wimbledon.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18London 2012 was a ground-breaking Games for women.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei sent athletes to the Olympics
0:03:21 > 0:03:25for the first time ever, and in boxing women were finally
0:03:25 > 0:03:28allowed to compete in the ring, with Team GB's Nicola Adams
0:03:28 > 0:03:30bursting onto the scene.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Nicola Adams of Great Britain has just made sporting history!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonathan, picked up
0:03:38 > 0:03:41gold and bronze in the triathlon.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Although not everything went to plan...
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Oh, here you go, the first calamity.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53..it was an incredible fortnight of sport and will certainly
0:03:53 > 0:03:55take some beating.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Over to you, Rio.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03This group of 150 climbers in Brazil have been getting
0:04:03 > 0:04:07into the Olympic mood, by using rope and coloured clothes
0:04:07 > 0:04:11to form the floating Olympic rings off a bridge
0:04:11 > 0:04:13in the city of Sao Paulo.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15They're hoping to break the world record for the largest
0:04:15 > 0:04:18formation of its kind.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21And while they were trying to stay up, back in the UK,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24these tower blocks in Blackpool are about to go down.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25There they go.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27They were demolished yesterday in a series
0:04:27 > 0:04:29of controlled explosions.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32They were first built in the 1960s, but now new homes will be put
0:04:32 > 0:04:36in its place by 2018.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38And it's been a good weekend for Harry Potter fans
0:04:38 > 0:04:40after the Cursed Child script was finally released.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43If you've read it, then we want to hear
0:04:43 > 0:04:45what you think of the new story.
