Hi, I'm Martin, and this is Newsround.

:00:11.:00:12.

If you went back to school today perhaps you noticed some changes -

:00:13.:00:15.

maybe the grass had been cut, or there was a new display

:00:16.:00:18.

One group of kids in Bristol got a big surprise

:00:19.:00:22.

when they went back to school and found a mural by famous graffiti

:00:23.:00:25.

It happened after they'd decided to name one of the school

:00:26.:00:31.

Here's what one of the kids felt about discovering

:00:32.:00:35.

One hundred million per cent yes, really shocked.

:00:36.:00:41.

Thank you so much for this really good picture.

:00:42.:00:48.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to launch a rocket into space?

:00:49.:00:51.

Jenny's been to meet the school teams from around the UK who've been

:00:52.:00:55.

finding out just that in a cosmic competition.

:00:56.:00:59.

Three...two... one...zero...

:01:00.:01:03.

A huge rocket heading into space with astronauts inside.

:01:04.:01:07.

These students have been learning to make their own mini rockets

:01:08.:01:13.

with some expert help, and there's only a little time left

:01:14.:01:16.

34 school teams from across the country have been taking part

:01:17.:01:21.

in the UK Rocketry Challenge, and today, it's the finals.

:01:22.:01:25.

Teams have to build, launch and land the rocket safely.

:01:26.:01:28.

It's got to get high enough in the air and keep flying for long

:01:29.:01:31.

enough, and all the time keeping its contents,

:01:32.:01:34.

I'm, like, really nervous but I'm really excited at the same time.

:01:35.:01:40.

Probably the funnest bit for me would be, like, when you get

:01:41.:01:43.

We've already been through to the regional finals, and launched

:01:44.:01:49.

and launched our rocket, and it came off.

:01:50.:01:50.

We, like, rebuilt it and made it better and quite a bit faster today.

:01:51.:01:54.

But safety is at the top of the agenda.

:01:55.:01:56.

You don't launch when there's people around, cars around,

:01:57.:01:58.

aeroplanes around, or animals around, cos you can scare animals.

:01:59.:02:01.

It has to be done responsibly and with adults.

:02:02.:02:04.

The rockets are ready, and it's almost time for lift-off.

:02:05.:02:07.

It was actually really good, like, we expected it just to fall.

:02:08.:02:21.

I'm really happy the parachute came out, otherwise it

:02:22.:02:23.

The winners will now be heading to Farnborough Airshow in July

:02:24.:02:27.

to compete against teams from around the world.

:02:28.:02:33.

Football news now - or rather, a lack of it.

:02:34.:02:35.

After his impressive season at Leicester City, superclub

:02:36.:02:38.

Arsenal is hoping to tempt star striker Jamie Vardy to move.

:02:39.:02:42.

but Vardy has keeping fans in suspense, and he boarded

:02:43.:02:47.

where he's playing for England in the Euros, without

:02:48.:02:51.

I've been taking a look at his career so far.

:02:52.:02:57.

Jamie Vardy was just 16 years old when he was released

:02:58.:03:06.

by Sheffield Wednesday for being too small.

:03:07.:03:09.

Now, more than ten years later, he is Leicester City's star striker,

:03:10.:03:17.

who helped them to win the Premier League for the first

:03:18.:03:19.

In 2012, Leicester City bought Vardy from Fleetwood Town for ?1 million.

:03:20.:03:24.

In his first season with the club, he only scored four goals

:03:25.:03:27.

and thought about quitting football completely.

:03:28.:03:30.

He broke records, becoming the first player ever to score in 11

:03:31.:03:37.

Now, he's joining the England team in France as they head

:03:38.:03:46.

But where next for Leicester's super striker?

:03:47.:03:56.

Finally, a special royal announcement.

:03:57.:03:57.

In March, the Radio Times magazine launched a competition for children

:03:58.:04:00.

to design the front cover for the Queen's 90th birthday.

:04:01.:04:02.

They received over 11,000 entries, and I'm proud to be able to announce

:04:03.:04:05.

Ayesha Mahmood, with this lovely crown design.

:04:06.:04:08.

Our very own Ayshah's been catching up with her.

:04:09.:04:12.

You've just won this Radio Times competition for the cover.

:04:13.:04:15.

Happy, excited, and I'm really proud of myself.

:04:16.:04:19.

That's very precise, and you beat them all?

:04:20.:04:26.

When you found out you one, what did you do?

:04:27.:04:29.

My party was the next day and I told everybody.

:04:30.:04:36.

They were proud of me, and they said, "Well done," to me.

:04:37.:04:39.

Well, congratulations, and very, very well done.

:04:40.:04:41.

That's all from me, enjoy the evening!

:04:42.:04:47.
