:00:24. > :00:27.Jasmine says they're good for calming but Elle says they're
:00:28. > :00:35.Yes, we're taking a closer look at these things - fidget spinners!
:00:36. > :00:49.Well I've been looking into the toy that everyone's talking about.
:00:50. > :00:53.Fidget spinners are taking over playgrounds.
:00:54. > :00:59.The small toys have become the latest must have gadget.
:01:00. > :01:02.My spinner is a glow-in-the-dark one.
:01:03. > :01:07.You get relaxed when it spins and it's really satisfying.
:01:08. > :01:09.You can have challenges with other people
:01:10. > :01:11.and you can trade and you can customise them as well.
:01:12. > :01:13.These fidget spinners have got a rather

:01:17. > :01:19.with certain conditions like autism deal with stress.
:01:20. > :01:21.But these little things are causing big
:01:22. > :01:29.Sometimes children, they get distracted but...
:01:30. > :01:32.And they don't concentrate on their work, they try
:01:33. > :01:35.and rush it so they can play with it and they don't produce much quality
:01:36. > :01:40.They've since been banned in a number of schools but here in
:01:41. > :01:42.Manchester, teachers are a bit more relaxed.
:01:43. > :01:45.They're happy for kids to play with them but only
:01:46. > :01:49.You can play with them at lunchtime and play
:01:50. > :01:52.time but are not allowed to play with them during class.
:01:53. > :01:55.We have them banned in class and around the school
:01:56. > :01:57.environment and you are only
:01:58. > :02:00.allowed them at break time and lunch.
:02:01. > :02:02.We are really happy to have kids enjoying
:02:03. > :02:03.the fidget spinners on
:02:04. > :02:06.the playground, we're seeing them get a lot of fun,
:02:07. > :02:10.motor skills but we have asked that they put them away as soon
:02:11. > :02:12.as they enter the building so they're not a
:02:13. > :02:15.distraction in the lessons because we found children were more
:02:16. > :02:16.interested in watching each other doing
:02:17. > :02:17.tricks than watching the
:02:18. > :02:21.But spinners only cost a couple of pounds but some websites
:02:22. > :02:26.have started to charge a lot more as the popularity increases.
:02:27. > :02:30.Online videos showing off tricks have had millions
:02:31. > :02:33.of views - until the next big thing in playground,
:02:34. > :02:36.it looks like that the fidget spinner will be around until at
:02:37. > :02:50.We want to hear from you, go online to tell us if they have the band at
:02:51. > :02:51.your school and what you think of them. We would love to hear what you
:02:52. > :02:55.think. I am going to put this down. Also today - some of you may have
:02:56. > :02:58.noticed your schools have been But it's NOT for the general
:02:59. > :03:02.election we've been talking about. Adults in Scotland, Wales
:03:03. > :03:04.and parts of England are voting for the politicians
:03:05. > :03:06.who look after local There are also elections
:03:07. > :03:09.for some new mayors. The UK-wide vote that'll decide
:03:10. > :03:11.on the government and prime minister There's more on the general
:03:12. > :03:16.election and how it works Lots of you learn to code at school,
:03:17. > :03:24.but have you ever wondered how you'd do it if you couldn't see
:03:25. > :03:26.the computer screen clearly? Four visual impaired children have
:03:27. > :03:29.been helping to create a new way to learn coding where you don't
:03:30. > :03:36.need to use a screen. Each pod is an instruction
:03:37. > :03:40.in the programme. It's called Project Torino,
:03:41. > :03:50.blind people can do coding at school, but the whole
:03:51. > :03:54.class can do it. We found a number of kids wanted
:03:55. > :03:57.to code but they found it difficult to see the programming
:03:58. > :04:01.languages which are on-screen, they were too small, they were coloured,
:04:02. > :04:04.but kids who couldn't see at all there was no way for
:04:05. > :04:06.them to participate. It's something physical
:04:07. > :04:18.so you can feel it, that sort Before, every time there
:04:19. > :04:22.was a computer lesson it was always in my head,
:04:23. > :04:24.it's computing, there's Now I feel really
:04:25. > :04:27.confident with coding and it's something I can do
:04:28. > :04:29.in a certain specific way. Staying with space -
:04:30. > :04:45.scientists are counting these rare birds, Northern Royal albatrosses,
:04:46. > :04:47.using satellite images! otherwise it's hard to know how many
:04:48. > :04:53.there are as they only nest on tiny It's the first time any species
:04:54. > :04:57.on Earth has been counted This is a new space fabric
:04:58. > :05:03.that's been designed by engineers at the US
:05:04. > :05:05.space agency, NASA. It could help astronauts
:05:06. > :05:07.in the future. This is a special metallic fabric
:05:08. > :05:15.that NASA has designed to use Acting as a way to
:05:16. > :05:50.control temperatures. That's all from the team,
