Hi I'm Leah and this is Newsround. On the way: Some shocking news | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
about one of the world's most famous sportsmen, and are your PE | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
lessons too easy? But first to some truly shocking | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
news about one of the world's most famous runners. Top athletes and | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
many others around the world have been reacting to the terrible news | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
that Paralympic superstar Oscar Pistorias, known as the Blade | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Runner because of the two blades he uses as artificial legs, has been | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
arrested and is facing a murder charge. His girlfriend was sadly | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
found dead at his home in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, this | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
morning. The news has shaken the country, where he's a national hero, | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
and the world. Pistorias is due to appear in court tomorrow morning to | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
face the charges. Next, the world's biggest | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
experiment is switching off and taking a break for two years. The | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Large Hadron Collider is housed inside a 16 mile-long tunnel on the | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
border between France and Switzerland. The giant machine is | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
closing, as it needs repairs and upgrades so it can run faster. For | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
three years, it's been smashing tiny particles together to try to | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
:01:19. | :01:22. | ||
work out how the universe began. The Large Hadron Collider, it is a | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
27-kilometre-long tunnel under the French-Swiss border and in it sub- | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
atomic particles are accelerated to huge speeds and then smashed | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
together. The idea is that after the collision scientists will be | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
able to discover what made up the particles, the even smaller bits | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
and from that deduce how the universe began and want is it | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
really made of? Next - it's called physical | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
education, but just how physical are your PE lessons? Well, the | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Government's school inspectors have criticised school sport sessions in | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
England for not pushing you hard enough. They reckon that more of | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
you need to work up a sweat in the classes in order to stay healthy. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
On the website, Sarah in London told us her PE teacher pushes her | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
to the limit, but Max in Bristol says last week he just waved his | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
hands about to music. Ricky's been finding out whether your PE lessons | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
:02:17. | :02:29. | ||
Let's do this. This primary school in Greater Manchester gets top | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:39. | ||
marks when it comes to PE. Do you feel like your heartbeat is | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
pounding away? It is like a volcano in my tummy. How would you describe | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
your heart? It is really good. new report says more than a quarter | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
of our PE lessons don't include enough physical activities, so they | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
don't improve the health of our kids. They say that teachers spend | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
too much time talking and many schools don't play sport | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
competitively. We've got great facilities, we've got the funding | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
so we can buy the equipment we need. The literacy and numeracy and | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
academic achievement, we need to remember that PE and physical | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
activity is massively important. However, there is some praise for | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
PE. Most schools provide at least two hours of physical education | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
each week for pupils aged 5 to 14 and only a fifth of you leave | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
primary school without being able to swim. We've had loads of | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
comments from you telling us what you think. This one says, "My PE | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
lessons are really hard and my teacher really pushes people." The | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Government says it wants to spend �1 billion on new sports over the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
next five years and it is currently writing a new PE curriculum hoping | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
to put competition at the heart of school sports. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
