BBC reporter Paul Blake sent us this from the nearby | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
Hey, Newsround, Hurricane Irma has become the most powerful storm to | :00:46. | :00:58. | |

hurricanes. You can see behind me the wind and rain behind me if input | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Taricco. Residents here have been preparing for the storm, putting | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
boards over their houses and in some cases moving into shelters. The | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
island's Governor told people preparedness was the key to saving | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
lives. As the storm passes and in the coming days, rescue crews will | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
try to go in the affected areas to help anyone who has been injured or | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
stranded, and people further down the line in Cuba and United States | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
will be looking to make their own preparations, as Irma makes their | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
way to their shores. This week has been a time | :01:36. | :01:36. | |

guest, the Queen. Celebrations have been happening | :02:11. | :02:11. | |
all week, and 10,000 kids from schools nearby have been | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
invited to be some of the first people to walk across the bridge, | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
and I went with them. I'm excited about | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
going over the bridge. Looking out your window and seeing | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
the bridge there, and thinking, I remember what this | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
was like when this My grandparents live | :02:31. | :02:31. | |
at the top of the hill, so they could sit and watch it | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
being built through their window, And it's just a short | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
drive to the bridge. We're going on a big bridge, | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
are we all excited? It seems like it's | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
going to be so boring, We're about half way | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
across the brand-new As you can see, nice Scottish | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
weather, but that doesn't matter, because these guys are quite | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
excited, aren't you? What was it like | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
being on the bridge? It was cool, I liked it, | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
it is nice to have the experience of the bridge opening now when I am | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
young and I can just Most of you are either already | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
back at school, or just And it's not always easy | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
to fit in to a new school That can be even harder | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
if you have a disability. Hi, I'm PJ, I'm 13 | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
and this is my school. I like playing wheelchair | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
basketball, I compete I wouldn't say I'm great at it, | :03:50. | :03:50. | |
but I really like the sport. So in the past, I wasn't able | :03:51. | :04:01. | |
to do as much as I could, due to my old wheelchair, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
as it was heavy. I had next to no independence, | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
I had to be pushed everywhere, I had to be supervised all the time, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
which was pretty awful. I needed a new wheelchair, | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
and thanks to a charity, I got a new one, which has helped me | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
in many different ways. Now I can manoeuvre greatly around | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
the school and it allows me to play with my friends a lot more, | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
and it also allows me to play my favourite sport, | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
which is basketball. When I got the wheelchair, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
I was like overexcited, I was so happy that I had finally | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
got a new wheelchair. To anybody who is starting | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
school with a wheelchair, I'm just going to say, | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
stay positive, and just get stuck You will make tonnes of friends | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
and it will be a lot And Prince George | :04:59. | :05:06. | |

wear a v-neck jersey with the Thomas's badge on it, | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
as well as a navy jacket. And finally - it's the best | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
time of the year - the Guinness World Records are in, | :05:31. | :05:34. | |

things that record breakers have who managed to clear nearly four | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
meters - that's the 'Bini the Bunny' from California - | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
