We've got your Sunday afternoon stories covered,

Coming up: We see some of your snowy pics.

And the panda saying hello to the public for the first time.

Did you wake up to snow this morning?

Well, many of us did, including me, as it fell over parts of the UK.

The band of snow moved across western Scotland,

north-west England, the Midlands, and south-east England.

And you've been sending in your snow pics all morning.

Kate and Tom have sent this picture of a snowman they've made together.

And this is the view on Lucy and Isobel's street.

Here's a snow bear which Violeta has made, and this snowy pic has been

And this is the view from Georgia's bedroom this morning.

Thanks for sending those in, and we want to see more

of your snowy pics - if it hasn't melted yet.

Go to the Newsround website after the show.

That's what a team of scientists are trying to find out

This is a ship, heading to the middle of the Indian Ocean. The team

on board are preparing to drill miles beneath the ocean floor.

They've picture because they have's crust is thinner than in other

places so it is easier to break through. It is a big challenge. Our

Earth is made of layers. The scientist plan to sample the super

hot rock from here. They will use this to lead more about how the

Earth was formed by studying the rocks buried there. They also want

to try and find out if there's anything that there that could

survive such extreme heat and pressure. The drill needs a travel

700 metres down through the sea, then 5.5 kilometres into rock,

before reaching the mantle, the length of 50 football pitches. Even

with the latest technology, it will take several years. It will take a

lot of time until we can drill and get to the final subjective, a big

finding. And of what we believe is going on under the planet.

To a room full of hundreds of beautiful butterflies,

s new glasshouse display has been built to house the creatures,

It's filled with hundreds of butterflies.

BBC Reporter Tarah Welsh went to have a look for us.

People are encouraged to try spot butterflies as they walk through

here, so they can users clip to see the different species. There are 40

different types here, and of course in the summer you can see

butterflies in the UK. You won't get them as large or exotic or with the

bright colours that you will see an summer like this.

More than 20 new marine conservation zones are being set up around

They're designed to help protect the habitats and

Conservation and wildlife organisations are pleased but they,

It's the start of a year-long party for anyone who's a cub scout.

That's because it's the 100th anniversary of the organisation.

Celebrations will be happening throughout the year,

and to kick things off, cubs from all over the UK went

So why do these guys like being cubs?

I believed I should join because my brother was in it and heat told me

it was fun. Every week there are different ad ventures and you aren't

doing the same border thing over again. You get this exciting feeling

like you have done something well when you get a badge. All I want to

do is get more barges than my brothers.

It's that time of the week again, when we bring you the most weird

Yes, it's strange, stranger, strangest!

Take a look at this incredible footage of a soap bubble freezing at

-15 degrees. The artist who made the video wanted to show his daughter

how cold it was outside. Ice crystals in the water began to form,

just like 2D snowflakes in a snow globe. Staying with that freezing

feeling, have a look at this car in New York. The city was enjoying its

warmest Christmas on record, but people living there facing ice and

snow. The car was turned into a giant icicle as temperatures

plummeted. And this has to be the strangest moment of the week.

Last up, a new panda star has made its first appearance

to his adoring public at the National Zoo in Washington,

He's five months old and until now has only be seen by video link.

But big crowds gathered to see him making his debut, and you can't

That's all for now, I'll be back after 2.15.
