0:00:09 > 0:00:13Another gold rush for Paralympics GB in Rio.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16I've come to this school in Rio, where they're using sport to bring
0:00:16 > 0:00:20able-bodied and disabled kids together.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22And can trees talk?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25I meet a man who thinks so.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39First to Rio, and what a night it was for Para GB.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41They won ten medals in just one hour, with nine gold
0:00:41 > 0:00:43medals for the day.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47It takes their tally of golds to 43, improving on the 34 they won
0:00:47 > 0:00:50at the last Paralympics in London - and the competition isn't
0:00:50 > 0:00:52even over yet!
0:00:52 > 0:00:59Here are some of the best bits.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hannah Cockroft triumphed in the T34 400m race in a
0:01:02 > 0:01:05world record of 58.78 seconds, while her 15-year-old team-mate

0:01:32 > 0:01:36And Sophie Wells grabbed gold with her horse Valerius
0:01:36 > 0:01:40in the dressage individual championship.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Staying with the Paralympics, even though the games
0:01:44 > 0:01:47are being held in Brazil, many disabled children
0:01:47 > 0:01:51there face huge challenges in their everyday lives.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Four out of ten of them don't even go to school.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58But a sports project being run in hundreds of schools around
0:01:58 > 0:01:59the country hopes to make all students feel included.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Here's Martin.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11This school is in one of the poorer parts of Rio,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14but they're doing something pretty special today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Through the power of sports and games, they're bringing disabled
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and able-bodied children together.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28TRANSLATION: I really enjoyed playing with the football
0:02:28 > 0:02:31on the cloth, it was a lot of fun.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36TRANSLATION: My favourite part was when we were playing
0:02:36 > 0:02:40with the ball and it was going all over the place and I had to get
0:02:40 > 0:02:43underneath the tarp and kick it up.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48I thought it was really cool.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51TRANSLATION: I liked the run, because you get to feel
0:02:51 > 0:02:53what it's like to be blind.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56We were able to have a lot fun, cheer, and win.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01It was great fun.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07TRANSLATION: Having a sister with a disability is very cool,
0:03:07 > 0:03:13she plays like everyone else and she's just like everyone else.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16TRANSLATION: It's great having people with disabilities
0:03:16 > 0:03:20in the classroom.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22The important thing is to help one another.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28Sometimes, if they forget things, I help them out.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32What's it been like having the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36TRANSLATION: It's been sensational.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Really incredible.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's my first Olympics that I watched, because I was too young
0:03:41 > 0:03:43for the other one, so it's been incredible, really
0:03:43 > 0:03:45a privilege to watch.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48TRANSLATION: It's been emotional and very cool.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It shows how the people of Rio are great fans.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It's been very cool to have it here.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56TRANSLATION: A lot has changed, the city is a lot more
0:03:56 > 0:04:01colourful and vibrant.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04It's a very excited crowd and it's great to have them here.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05It's a much happier city.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08CHANTING: Brazil, Brazil!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11And finally, what does and an oak, a birch, or a willow tree
0:04:11 > 0:04:12have in common?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Well, according to a new book, they can talk to each other.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Yes, really!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Experts reckon trees can talk, feel pain, learn,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21care for each other and even warn other trees of danger.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Sound absolutely conkers?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I met up with a tree expert and asked him if trees can
0:04:25 > 0:04:26really talk to each other.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Trees really can talk, but not as we do it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31They do it via the roots.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34They do it via a fungi network, which is working like our internet.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39What kind of things do they talk about?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41What we know is when trees, for example, are attacked
0:04:41 > 0:04:42by insects, it hurts.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44And then they don't just think of themselves,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but they warn each other, their neighbours.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49That's all from me.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Newsround's back right here in about half an hour,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Don't miss it.
