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. | |
