Hi, this is Newsround
and I'm Whitney. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Can you imagine how it would it feel
if someone told you your opinion | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
didn't matter - just
because you were a girl? | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Well, that's what it was like
until a hundred years ago in the UK, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
when women and poorer men won
the right to vote for their MP. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
These kids have been finding
out what that was like. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Today, we are going to be
voting on some really, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
really important issues that
will have an effect on all of you. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
You've been split into two teams. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
We have the yellows
and we have the greens. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
We're going to vote
on whether the greens can only have | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
brussels sprouts for the rest
of the whole week. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Only the yellows can vote! | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
So write yes or no on here,
what you agree with, OK? | 0:00:57 | 0:01:03 | |
And place your votes, and then go
back and sit in the middle. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:09 | |
So, we have just got the votes
in and the yellows voted | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
for the greens having
to eat brussels sprouts | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
for the rest of the week. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
Next, we are going to have a race, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
greens versus yellows, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
to see who can cross
the room the fastest. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:30 | |
But we're going to have a vote
on whether the greens | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
have to hop across. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
Only the yellows
are allowed to vote. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:40 | |
The class has voted... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
That the greens will
only be allowed to hop. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
YELLOW TEAM: Yes! | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Go! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:59 | |
Hands up if you thought
those votes were unfair. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Do you guys know that 100 years ago,
women were not allowed to vote? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
So imagine how they would have felt. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:11 | |
After I voted, I felt kind of guilty
that I had voted for something bad | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
to happen to the Greens. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
I found it unfair, because I'm
making decisions for other people. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
It's just unfair that some people
can't vote and some people can. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
I was really surprised. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
I thought it was all women
and I thought that was | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
unfair for only men. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
It doesn't matter your gender | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
or where you come from or how rich
you are that you should vote. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Everyone should be able to vote. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
It's time for this
week's Big Question - | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
you can build skyscrapers and pirate
ships with it, and it's a nightmare | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
if you stand on it -
but who invented it? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Watch this... | 0:02:53 | 0:03:01 | |
Building, stacking, creating. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
We're talking about Lego,
the plastic brick that's one | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
of the most recognisable toys
in the world. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
But who invented it? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Well, way back in 1932 in a small
village called Billund in Denmark, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
a master carpenter called
Ole Kirk Christiansen | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
and his 12-year-old son
Godred Kirk Christiansen set up | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
a business making ladders,
stools and wooden toys. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
In 1934, they decided to call
the little company Lego, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
from the Danish words "leg godt",
which translates to "play well". | 0:03:38 | 0:03:44 | |
A year later, the company
made its first official toys, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
a wooden duck and a building game
called Kirk's Sand Game. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
Fast forward to 1949,
and the company is now making around | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
200 different plastic and wooden
toys, including the automatic | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
binding bricks, an early version
of the bricks we know today. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
Almost ten years later in 1958,
the Lego brick is invented | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
and patented, protecting the idea
from other people copying it. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
Since then, the toy has
grown and developed. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
And now around 75 million items
are sold every year in more than 140 | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
different countries. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
The Lego brick has just
celebrated its 60th birthday, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
and the bricks made in 1958
still work the same way | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
as the ones made today. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Finally, how cool is this?! | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
It's the International
Wind Games in Spain. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
200 flyers from all over the world
competed as indoor skydivers. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
Organisers want it to become
an Olympic sport in 2020. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
Wow! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
That's it from me. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Have a great evening. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 |
