Good morning, Jenny here live with your Tuesday Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Find out what this sneaky squirrel is about to do in a shop in Canada. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
And I will be making for my homework! | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
First up, we're talking about homework and the school that | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
More than nine in ten schools in the UK set homework, | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
but some people don't think students in primary school | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
I went to visit one school that's swapped spellings and sums | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
I fit my entire body through a piece of A4 paper. | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
These might sound like fun things you do on a weekend, but | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
they were actually homework tasks, set by the headteacher at this | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
primary school in Yorkshire, where they can pick different | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
We used to do the normal English and maths and project-based, but we | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
So we looked at changing ours to make it far more creative. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
In the UK, the government says it's up to headteachers to decide | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
whether or not to set homework, so what did the children | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
at the school think of the challenges that they | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
I can choose what I want to do, and it's a great way to learn. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
I think that all children should do it this way. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Now it's just so much more flexible and stress-free. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
I think it doesn't really get you prepared for high | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
school, where you get a lot more homework. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Also, you might have a lot of brothers or sisters like me. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
That means they have to do the same things as well. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
I'd say my mum isn't as stressed as she used to be. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Because she used to get really annoyed if I didn't | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
I don't think I'm missing out because I'm still doing the work | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
I went to see their new style of homework for myself. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Meet Pippa, she chose to make biscuits with her mum. | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
So what is it like doing things like baking for your homework? | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
In year one, we had to do stuff like quite hard homework | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
But this time it's still to do with learning, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
And we are covering maths with the ingredients, | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
and we're covering reading with the recipe, aren't we? | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
But it's a much more fun way of doing it. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Now I get to do a lot of cool stuff with my family and I've | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Loads of ideas there but do you think these | :02:37. | :02:53. | |
We want to know what you would set as homework if you were in charge. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Traditional spellings and sums or other activities? | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
Get on over to Newsround online and have your say. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Well, freezing weather has gripped most of Europe, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
with heavy snow causing big problems for roads and trains | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
But where has this extreme weather come from, and more importantly | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Weatherman Simon King has got all the info for us. | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
It's been bitterly cold across Europe over the last few days | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
or so, we've had lots and lots of snow, and look | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
-30 degrees in Moscow, that's well colder than your freezer at home. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Even down towards the Mediterranean, -3 degrees here. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
In the UK, it's been relatively mild. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Our turn will come later on this week. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
The Arctic is here, you can see the blue extending all the way down | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
towards Italy and Greece, that brought the cold weather. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
If you look at the UK now, look at it turning blue. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Our weather is going to come from the north-west but Arctic air | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Don't dust off your sledges just yet, it's going to be a cold day | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
and there is the risk of snow but still some details uncertain. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
It was a big night at the Fifa awards last night. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
They're the group that run international football. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
There was good news for Leicester as their manager Claudio Ranieri won | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
That's after he led the Foxes to that memorable | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
And the big award, Player of the Year, went to, | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
He's had an amazing season after leading Portugal | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
to the European Championship and won the Champions League | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
It was probably my best year so far. I have to include the trophy for the | :04:33. | :04:54. | |
national team, the Portugal Metro national team, it was the first time | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
in history for Portugal so I was so happy. And I cannot forget the title | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
that we received for the Champions League. | :05:05. | :05:05. | |
Check out these chimpanzees dipping and sipping. | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
For the first time experts have managed to film chimpanzees making | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Scientists in the Ivory Coast in Africa shot the footage | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
which shows the chimps making special water-dipping sticks | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
by chewing the ends to turn it into a soft, soggy brush. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
And talking of clever animals, see if you can spot what this sneaky | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Shop owners in Toronto, in Canada, have been asking | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
for advice about what to do with squirrels living | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
The owners say squirrels have stolen more than 40 | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
chocolate bars, even sneaking in when they close the door. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
