0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'm Hayley with your Newsround update.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09We've got lots to tell you so keep watching.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Cats get their own pop music.

0:00:11 > 0:00:16And the painter turning his rubbish bins into art.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28First to a classroom with a difference.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32Pupils at one school in Bradford have been taking part in a special

0:00:32 > 0:00:36experiment to help them keep fit and healthy.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Ayshah has more.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Can you spot the difference in this classroom?

0:00:42 > 0:00:44How about now?

0:00:44 > 0:00:49Here in this class, it's all about...standing.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53It's part of an experiment to see if standing throughout the day,

0:00:53 > 0:00:56instead of sitting down, helps improve your health by keeping

0:00:56 > 0:00:59you more active, so how does it work?

0:00:59 > 0:01:02To go up, you push this lever and it goes up.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06To go down, you hold the lever and you push on the top of the desk.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09But you've got a chair here. So how does that work?

0:01:09 > 0:01:10You can choose to sit or stand.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13When you're standing up, you've got to put your chair to one

0:01:13 > 0:01:16side and then you put it to the right side by making

0:01:16 > 0:01:21an L-shape with your elbow and adjusting the height.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24The results of the tests so far have shown students spend less time

0:01:24 > 0:01:25sitting down each day.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29What do these guys think of their standing desks?

0:01:29 > 0:01:33They are more relaxing than when we had the normal desks.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35They are really awesome because you can stand up or down

0:01:35 > 0:01:39on them so you don't have to just sit down all the time

0:01:39 > 0:01:40like ordinary tables.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43I think it's good to stand up because you get exercise and you get

0:01:43 > 0:01:46to move around more.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Standing up is exercise and sitting down is just boring.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53You just don't do any work.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56This class seem happy with them, but does standing really make that

0:01:56 > 0:01:58much of a difference?

0:01:58 > 0:02:04If you're standing up at your desk you're more likely to become a more

0:02:04 > 0:02:08active adult and stand more when you're a grown up as well,

0:02:08 > 0:02:11and we know that standing as an adult reduces the risk

0:02:11 > 0:02:14of things like type II diabetes, heart disease and of being

0:02:14 > 0:02:17overweight and obese when you're an adult.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20The stand-up sit-down desks are popular with this class

0:02:20 > 0:02:23and researchers hope to bring their idea to other schools

0:02:23 > 0:02:26across the UK.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Next we're talking about pocket money.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31New research has found that lots of you get it without doing

0:02:31 > 0:02:33anything to earn it.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Some people think it's a bad thing and pocket money is a good way

0:02:36 > 0:02:38of learning skills for the future.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42So we want to know if you do have to do jobs or chores at home

0:02:42 > 0:02:43to get your allowance?

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Experts believe the ancient site is 1,800 years

0:03:00 > 0:03:04old and was at the heart of the once bustling Roman town.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09The walkway included more than 28 archways topped by a grand gateway.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25to win the match.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27West Brom manager Tony Pulis was full of praise for

0:03:27 > 0:03:30the lower league team.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Smaller teams from the lower leagues pushing Premier League clubs right

0:03:34 > 0:03:37to the limit and they did that today.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Absolute fantastic.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Credit to them, to the league they play in, and to

0:03:41 > 0:03:43British football.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46To have this sort of game and to be involved in it,

0:03:46 > 0:03:50yes, it's nerve wracking and it's brilliant that we've gone through,

0:03:50 > 0:03:54but Peterborough should take a lot of credit.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58If you have a cat you might think that music helps them to relax.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06David Tie, who plays the cello, has come up with a piece of music

0:04:06 > 0:04:11specifically with our furry friends in mind.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14If we can find a way to communicate and connect with other species

0:04:14 > 0:04:16in the same way, we have a better understanding of them,

0:04:16 > 0:04:26and a better understanding of ourselves and our place
