Hello, I'm Martin and this is Newsround. Coming up, some cracking

stories, including the Mexican ball game rebooted after 3000 years, and

why China are breaking the ice. But first, to some Easter chocolate

you'll definitely want to chew today. A Thomas the Tank Engine

train made entirely of chocolate has arrived at King's Cross station in

London to mark the Easter weekend. It is made of more than 100

kilograms of white, dark and milk Belgian chocolate and stands over

six feet tall. I want some! So it is Easter Sunday. You have been getting

in touch all weekend to let us know what you love about it. John says,

my favourite Easter thing is an egg hunt with my money and big sister in

my back garden. Joseph is all about eating chocolate and having a nice

family meal, and Hope says she loves going to the park on her bike and

having a chocolate Easter egg. Allah loves Easter for Church, baking, and

doing an Easter egg hunt at Sunday school. Nice one, Easter fans! So it

is Easter Sunday, and it is all about the Easter Bunny, but animal

groups want to remind people that rabbits take a lot of looking.

Meet Ruby, he was abandoned five months ago, and is now in this

rescue centre, ready to be re-homed. And he's not the only one. Last

year, the animal charity the RSPCA had to rescue more than 3000

rabbits, and almost 1000 of them had been completely abandoned.

This time of the year, the weather is getting nicer, everyone wants to

be out in the garden, let's get a rabbit. And then winter comes, and

the rain comes, and they are like, oh, I have to go into the garden and

clean the rabbit. So yes, you really need to think about whether you are

willing to do that out in the worst of weather as well as the best of

weather. Pet shops are worried that at this

time of year, people will want rabbits as pets, and not realise the

work involved. That is why lots of shops are not allowing people to buy

or adopt them over the Easter weekend, to try and prevent this.

So how do you look after a rabbit properly? Rabbits need a lot of

space for running around, and they also need companionship. They are

very sociable animals, so they need a friend. And they need the right

diet, so grass, head, and lean the good food you can buy. -- hay.

So remember, kids, a rabbit isn't just for Easter, because these guys

can lift to the age of 12 years old! They are so cute!

In football, Liverpool are looking to cement their place in the top

four today, and they are just over half an hour into their game at West

Brom. The score is currently 0-0, and a win would see the mood nine

points clear of six placed Manchester United, who played

Chelsea Ladies on this afternoon. Next, look at this relaunch of a

3000 year old ancient game in Mexico. Up until 2006, the games

were banned by the rulers of the country, but now they are back.

Today, the game is played by teams of seven players who knocked a heavy

solid rubber ball up and down a narrow pitch using their hips rather

than their feet. Ouch! That would certainly get your hips moving. As

would this. Ever wondered if you could be in an all singing, all

dancing pop band? Well, we sent our reporter Whitney to meet KJidz Bop,

to find out if she has got what it takes. You have probably heard of

Justin Bieber, can you a West or even Taylor Swift, but what about

Kidz Bop? Well, they are a huge US band, and now I UK version of Kidz

Bop has launched, and I thought why not come down and eat them? I will

turn the camera around. Twinkle, Max, Lois and Ashton, how you? You

are part of UK Kidz Bop. How did you get into the?

Kidz Bop had a nationwide casting call, and the four of us went to

London to meet the production team, and we were lucky enough to be

picked. Amazing. I have seen some of your

videos. Hundreds of thousands of use on you tube. How do you feel about

the attention you are receiving. It is nice to see young fans

supporting us and hoping they can do the same thing.

And speaking of your fans, if they want to get into Kidz Bop, what

advice would you give them? Enjoy what you're doing, and keep

working hard towards it. Amazing. I am only a few years older

than you I promise! You think I have got what it takes to be part of UK

Kidz Bop? Yes, everybody can.

I think we should put this to the test. Will you teach me some moves?

Yes, we will teach you some moves. I am ready for this. I hope you are

ready to. Let's go. I'm ready for the first dance move.

So, you will punch four times with your right hand in the air. In step

with your right. One, two, three, four. With this one, you're right I

goes out, and you cross behind you. Shout out to my ex! You're really

quite a mess! Oh, my God! I have done it! I think I will leave it to

you professionals. Thank you! I don't think I have what it takes

just yet. Last up, something else making some

big moves. Take a look, extreme weather in China over winter made

the river frozen solid, so engineers decided to break up the ice with

explosives, sending it flying high into the air. Ice work, guys! That's

all from me. News round will be back tomorrow, but until then, have a

lovely Easter.
