0:00:10 > 0:00:13We check out 2018's biggest blockbusters.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And swimming in freezing water - have they gone crackers?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29First up, it's a brand new year, so that means
0:00:29 > 0:00:35resolutions!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Where we all promise to get new hobbies and be super healthy.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40You've been telling us what you're going to do,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42what you're not going to do
0:00:42 > 0:00:43and what you think of resolutions anyway.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I could never give up collecting antiques.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46I can't give up my tablet.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48There's no way I'm giving up chocolate.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I love my sister, I love sweets, and I love gymnastics.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55No way I'm giving them up.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I could never give up the tin of biscuits I get
0:00:57 > 0:01:06when I come home from school.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10But my new year's resolution is to be kind and joyful to everyone.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12My new year's resolution is to be kinder to my brother.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I think new year's resolutions are bad because people always give
0:01:15 > 0:01:21up because they can't do them.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I think new year's resolutions are good because they make people do
0:01:24 > 0:01:26things that they don't normally do.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I think they're bad because everyone gives them up all the time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I think new year's resolutions are good because it gives people
0:01:32 > 0:01:35an opportunity to make themselves better as a person.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Now one of my resolutions is never to go swimming
0:01:39 > 0:01:49in freezing cold water!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52But some people bring in the new year
0:01:52 > 0:01:53with an icy cold plunge.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Hundreds of people in the American state of Minnesota splashed
0:01:56 > 0:01:58into a frozen lake to raise money for charity.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00But guess what - it's actually warmer in the water
0:02:00 > 0:02:02than it is on the ice.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So going in isn't the hard part, it's the getting out!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Brrrr, well this time of year is freezing for some
0:02:07 > 0:02:09but in places like Australia, it's summer.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And their big worry at the moment isn't ice -
0:02:11 > 0:02:12but snakes like this one.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16The summer months get them out exploring.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19People there are being warned not to touch them if any snakes turn up
0:02:19 > 0:02:20in their gardens or houses.
0:02:20 > 0:02:28Instead, they should call an expert.
