17/03/2018 Newsround

Hi guys, it's Saturday,

I'm Ricky and this is Newsround,.

Coming up in the next few minutes...

Countries all over the world

are celebrating St Patrick's Day.

PLUS...

What a N-ICE

place to play piano!

Just a couple of hours to go

until the biggest match

of the Six Nations when Ireland face

England at Twickenham stadium.

Ireland have already won

the tournament but are hoping

to complete the Grand slam -

which means they beat all the other

countries taking part.

BBC reporter Olly Foster has been

having a snoop around the stadium.

A fantastic afternoon

ahead of rugby.

The final round of

matches, a triple bill.

And sandwiched in the middle is this

match here at Twickenham.

Outside the Ireland dressing room.

They can't miss it, can they?

The England team will be in here,

the England team dressing

room is much bigger.

We can't get in, we've

tried - it's locked.

And then two sets of players

will be coming down here.

England, Eddie Jones has

made all the changes.

Seven personnel changes,

ten changes in all.

Ireland, just the one change.

And Ireland have been getting

stronger and stronger,

and England just seem

to have gone backwards.

They lost that incredible

match against Scotland.

They lost against the French.

And there it is, that's what it's

all about for Ireland.

They won this last week

after they beat Scotland in Dublin.

Muted celebrations

because they knew that this

was what it was all about -

the Grand Slam.

We've got Italy against

Scotland before that.

And then it all rounds off,

from 4:30pm on BBC, we've got

Wales against France.

So it's going to be a great

afternoon of rugby.

And just when you thought

the weather was warming up -

the chill is back.

Brrr.

Some parts of the country have

had snow this morning,

and many are expecting

more later today.

Olivia in Whistable

send us this one.

If you've had a dusting today -

head to Newsround online and send

us a picture!

Next to Columbia in

South America which has

the biggest number of bird species

on the planet.

And one 10-year-old has made

it his mission to find them all.

There is one!

And another!

That's a beautiful one.

Ten-year-old Juan from Columbia has

a passion for finding birds.

TRANSLATION:

In three years,

I have seen 491 species of birds.

491?

Not bad at all!

But in the Colombian jungle

there are thought to be

1920 different species,

so how does he go

about spotting them?

He paces through the Colombian

jungle with a pair of binoculars

and parents in tow.

And has a special book

to identify what they are.

TRANSLATION:

Their colours,

some species have pretty colours

and also by their behaviour.

How they hunt.

So he has seen 491 birds.

Is Juan giving up any time soon?

No.

He has set his sights on seeing

all of them in the jungle,

and then he wants to see

all the birds in the world.

What a big dream.

From Dublin to Denmark

and America to Australia,

lots of people all over the world

are celebrating St Patricks Day.

Ireland's national day

is celebrated in more countries

than any other festival.

New York and Dublin will host

the biggest parades

which will include live music,

a sea of green hats and lots of fun!

OK, next up it's the special

orchestra making Norway

sound really cool!

Watch this!

There is something pretty

cool about this music.

It is being being played

on instruments made out of ice.

Brr!

It is part of an ice

music festival in Finse,

a mountain village in Norway.

In winter, it can only

be reached by train

and it is very cold up there.

But before they can play, they have

to carve their instruments.

They have made ice drums,

horns and even a didgeridoo!

This iceophone, good sounding ice.

This is the most difficult part.

You cannot just go to your freezer,

you cannot go to the nearest lake.

It is kind of the sound of nature,

so it doesn't sound like anything

else you have ever heard.

People are really surprised when

they hear it for the first time.

In Finse, the temperature can drop

below minus 20 degrees

but the colder it is,

the better it is for playing ice.

It makes them sound much clearer.

We don't get to practice.

So the music, it gets

made on the stage in

front of the audience,

and that is really special.

And people are like, "What?!

It's possible?"

And it is almost not

possible so it is pretty

cool that we can do it.

Right, that's it, next

time it snows, I'm going

to make my own harp.

Where is the ice?

And sticking with the theme

of icy music, check this guy out...

Pianist Gabriel Arnold has performed

a concert on the frozen

surface of the Baltic Sea,

between Sweden and Finland.

He even managed to gather

an audience with tourists on board

an icebreaker ship sailing up to him

to enjoy the music.

That's it from us, we'll be back

at 10.30 tomorrow morning.
