First up - what was your journey to school like this morning?

Is that something that you see every day?

Well, it is for kids at a group of schools in Hertfordshire,

They decided to write a catchy song to try to get adults

to be more careful when dropping off their children.

They roped in a whole team of professionals, who gave up

their time for free, to produce a video with an important message.

This road might seem pretty calm right now, but come three o'clock,

it is a completely different story. Children and parents from six

schools in the local area decided to do something about it and with the

help of their voices, they should be able to make a difference. Children

and parents came together to produce a music video with a very clear

message. Professional directors and camera operators turn the school

into a media studio. The song is called red monster and the

inspiration behind the track? All those hot-headed parents to drop off

their kids to ring the school run. We are going to be late, we are

going to be late. The parents want to get their children to school and

then they start going mad and crazy. A road monster is a person who

drives over the speed limit or he or she parks on double yellow lines.

All those kids that want to walk or cycle or scoot to school, having all

this traffic around it makes it much less likely they will do that

because it is dangerous and it worries them. And making the video

wasn't as easy as it sounds. Weird, because we were filming in a toilet.

Sometimes you would be into something and they would say, start

again. Don't let your road monster the road monster out.

We'll be finding out about your Christmas traditions

Hello. I have a really cool tradition in my family which I shout

it is Christmas to wake everybody up. We go downstairs, smashed eggs

and eat them together, which is a great tradition. Afterwards, we open

the presents. We'd love to hear

about your Christmas traditions - send your videos into the Newsround

website now! Finally, you might have seen Yoda,

Luke Skywalker or even Darth Vader fight with one of these before,

but this Star Wars fan has gone one Bob Cleggett, who lives in America,

made these giant light sabers from cardboard tubes he got

from his local DIY store. That's all from me and the Newsround
