Morning, guys - Martin here with your Monday Newsround.

:00:00.:00:00.

Red pandas check out snow for the first time.

:00:00.:00:09.

You're back at school, which means lessons, assembly,

:00:10.:00:27.

hanging out with your friends at break-time, and,

:00:28.:00:30.

But some people don't think students in primary school

:00:31.:00:33.

Jenny has been looking into the homework debate.

:00:34.:00:56.

Homework, it's given out in most of the primary schools in the UK,

:00:57.:01:00.

but for more than 100 years experts have been trying to decide

:01:01.:01:03.

whether or not it's a good thing for you to do.

:01:04.:01:06.

Some people think homework puts too much pressure on kids.

:01:07.:01:10.

They say research suggests homework in primary school isn't

:01:11.:01:13.

helpful for students, and because of this some heads

:01:14.:01:16.

and teachers want homework to be banned completely.

:01:17.:01:19.

But others say homework is an important part of you learning

:01:20.:01:21.

how to work on your own, and gives you the chance

:01:22.:01:24.

to practice what you've learnt in the classroom,

:01:25.:01:26.

like reading, writing, spelling and times tables.

:01:27.:01:31.

At this school, the students are given written and number

:01:32.:01:34.

Homework is a good thing because it might help children

:01:35.:01:37.

who are struggling or just need a bit more information to help them,

:01:38.:01:40.

and I think all children should be doing it.

:01:41.:01:44.

I don't like homework because I feel after school I should relax.

:01:45.:01:47.

I think it's beneficial because you're recapping

:01:48.:01:51.

Sometimes I get really stressed when I don't have it all done.

:01:52.:01:59.

It's really, like, it puts you under pressure.

:02:00.:02:01.

The Government says headteachers can make their own decision

:02:02.:02:03.

about whether or not to set homework, so why does this

:02:04.:02:06.

school, like many others, think it's important?

:02:07.:02:07.

Basically we give them homework because we want them to reaffirm

:02:08.:02:14.

what they've learned that week and enjoy what they're learning,

:02:15.:02:17.

and we also want them to be ready for when they go to secondary

:02:18.:02:20.

school, that they will be getting homework on a regular basis

:02:21.:02:24.

I would like homework to be a bit more varied,

:02:25.:02:29.

and I'd like there to be history projects and science things,

:02:30.:02:33.

If homework was taken away, I'd feel glad but also sad

:02:34.:02:40.

because the homework helps me know what I'm doing and makes me more

:02:41.:02:43.

confident, but I'd be happy as well because I've got more time to spend

:02:44.:02:47.

Now there's loads more about the great homework debate over

:02:48.:02:53.

Check out our guide to the arguments for and against it.

:02:54.:02:59.

Should you get more, less or none at all?

:03:00.:03:02.

OK, time for a quick round-up of some of the big

:03:03.:03:08.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is being criticised after he picked

:03:09.:03:11.

the youngest Liverpool side ever for their 0-0 draw with

:03:12.:03:14.

The Reds couldn't get a goal, even when Sturridge,

:03:15.:03:19.

Firmino and Lallana came on, and will now face a replay.

:03:20.:03:26.

No such problems for Chelsea, who beat League One Petersborough 4-1.

:03:27.:03:29.

Willian and youngster Michy Batshuayi bagged the others,

:03:30.:03:35.

but John Terry got sent off on his first start since October.

:03:36.:03:38.

The draw for the next round of the Cup is made tonight at 7pm.

:03:39.:03:42.

And away from the footy, Johanna Konta is nicely building up

:03:43.:03:46.

for the Australian Open next week with a win at the warm-up

:03:47.:03:49.

Sydney International tournament - she's now through to the second

:03:50.:03:51.

Now, it's pretty chilly outside, and icy too, and it's pretty easy

:03:52.:03:58.

But, fear not, we might have found a solution to help you move around

:03:59.:04:04.

without slipping over, and it comes from a familiar

:04:05.:04:07.

It is freezing outside, but it's OK, I've got my gloves,

:04:08.:04:10.

I've got my coat, I am ready to go, so...

:04:11.:04:14.

Oh, there has got to be a better way.

:04:15.:04:21.

Doctors in Germany are advising people to try walking like penguins

:04:22.:04:25.

Some penguins live in cold places like Antarctica,

:04:26.:04:34.

and are well known for their unusual walk, which helps them

:04:35.:04:37.

By taking small steps or shuffling, and leaning forward to change

:04:38.:04:45.

their centre of gravity, penguins reduce their

:04:46.:04:47.

So, Jenny, try channelling your inner penguin.

:04:48.:04:52.

Point your feet outwards, raise your arms for balance,

:04:53.:04:56.

Well, she might not be slipping over, but she does

:04:57.:05:08.

You never know, though, it might just catch on.

:05:09.:05:18.

Pretty sure Jenny walks like that all the time!

:05:19.:05:21.

Now, if you think it's chilly here in the UK,

:05:22.:05:24.

just look at what it's like for the rest of Europe,

:05:25.:05:26.

The cold weather has caused big problems for roads and trains -

:05:27.:05:31.

And snow has even been recorded as far south as holiday resorts

:05:32.:05:35.

And sticking with the snow - check out these cute red panda cubs

:05:36.:05:39.

seeing snow for the first time at their Cincinnati Zoo in America.

:05:40.:05:43.

Harriet and Hazel can be seen here playing around,

:05:44.:05:45.

They obviously don't get bothered by the cold!

:05:46.:05:49.

That's all from me, Newsround's back at 4.20pm.

:05:50.:05:55.

To celebrate the start of the new Worst Witch,

:05:56.:06:03.

and to come up with the name of a spell,

:06:04.:06:06.

All you have to do is head to the CBBC HQ page,

:06:07.:06:10.

leave us a comment, and you could be seeing your spell on the telly!
