I'm Ricky with your Newsround update this Wednesday morning. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Yes, we can. Yes, we did. Yes, we can. | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
Obama's emotional last speech as President. | :00:22. | :00:22. | |
Find out why this woman is knitting noodles. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Now, last night, Barack Obama made an emotional final speech | :00:25. | :00:39. | |
Talking in Chicago, he thanked his wife Michelle, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
as well as his family and staff, but asked the American people to put | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
aside their differences and work together in the future. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
For the last time Barack Obama walks out on stage to speak | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The crowd in Chicago gave him a loud and passionate welcome. | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
Obama addressed the audience, telling them he believed the country | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
was in a better place than when he was first elected. | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
Because of you, my almost every measure, America is the better, | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
stronger place than it was when we started. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
It's been a tough period for the US with the recent election campaign | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
bringing up lots of problems between people in the country, | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
and Mr Obama said American's need to hold onto their values. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
We must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
And Obama thanked his wife Michelle, as well as his family and staff, | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
saying how proud he is to have held the position. | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
It has been the honour of my life to serve you. Before making one final | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
request from the crowd. I am asking you to believe not in my ability to | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
bring about change, but in the yours. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
America is heading into a new and different future under | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
new President Donald Trump, a change many people | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
in the country feel was needed, but for the fans in the crowd | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Barack Obama will be missed and his speech hit | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
It gave us a message of hope and encouragement and it was just what | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
Should you have more, less or none at all? | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
It's something adults have been arguing about for years, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
so we put two of them, with very different views | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
on the subject, to a panel of ten primary school students. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
They will be listening to two different | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
arguments about homework and making a decision | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
about which side of the | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
The issue of homework has been debated for more | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
than 100 years, so let's hear what they've got to say. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Nancy is from one of the biggest teachers' unions | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
Traditional homework isn't necessarily helpful to you. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Sometimes, your parents can't get involved in it, because they're | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
Sometimes, they get too involved in it and so the teachers | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
don't know whether you did the homework or somebody | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
And sometimes, when they try and help you, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
they can't and that help | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
On the other side of the argument is Chris, | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
from the campaign for real education. | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
If you like to learn things, it's a very good thing to do | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
homework, because what homework does is to support your learning. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
So whether you get home work from the school or not, many, | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
many parents will sit with their children and do work | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
with them, because they know it makes sense. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Let's do some homework and let's do some play. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
And then, they put our speakers to the test. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Do you think homework affected your learning? | :03:34. | :03:34. | |
I wish I had done better when I was at school. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
I wish I had done more homework, really. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Homework at secondary school was a very good | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
At primary school, I don't think it made very much difference. | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
To Nancy and Chris, did you agree with anything the other one said? | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Nancy wants you to have an enjoyable childhood and I would agree with | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
We disagree about how much time you should be working and how | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
We both talked about the importance of balance. | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
What I disagree with his, I think children your age have to do | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
I think the balance is completely wrong. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
I really enjoy doing homework, especially on certain | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
subjects and I agreed with the things that Chris said. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
Today sort of confirmed what my opinion about | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
homework was, because Nancy said that home work has to be balanced | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
properly, but I don't think for me it is quite balanced. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Today, I changed my mind and I think homework is important, because | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
it will help you in tests and in your later life. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Some really interesting points raised today, but | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
now it is time for this panel to make their decision. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Of course, this is just a sample of opinions, but | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
today in this classroom, with eight for homework and two against it, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Now if you've got oodles of noodles and you don't know what to do | :04:46. | :05:09. | |
That's what this lady in Singapore has done, | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
but she's not making a jumper, it's actually for an art exhibition. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
It starts with buying the noodles, boiling them, | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
It takes her three hours each day to knit a 20 cm long piece. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Next up - what could you do in 11 hours? | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
How about pull off one of the greatest tricks of all time? | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
The clip starts with a golf club putting a ball, | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
and across ten pool tables by travelling over cues that have | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
A team from Bristol filmed this and put it online. | :05:38. | :05:50. | |
