17/06/2011 Newsround

Hello there. Ricky and Sonali here with your end-of-the-week Newsround.

We're coming to you live just after five. Here's what's coming up:

boy who was banned from school because of his hair. And we have an

off-duty chat with the stars of Horrible Histories.

First, we're talking streaming in school and whether kids should be

put into different sets in class. This week, we found out that by the

time you're seven, one in six of you has been streamed according to

how good you are at different subjects. We asked you to let us

know whether you think this is fair, and hundreds of you got in touch on

our website. Anna from Derbyshire, who's 11, thinks streaming is good

because, "you get to work with other people of the same ability."

13-year-old Jack from Nottingham says it means, "the cleverest

people get pushed really hard." 14-year-old Pippa from Newcastle

thinks streaming kids is a bad idea because if you're in a bottom set,

"you may feel useless and embarrassed." And Alfie, who's 12

and from Hertfordshire, also reckons it's a bad idea, because

he's in the bottom set for everything and all the people who

disrupt classes are in his sets. We're now joined by Daisy

Christodoulou, who's a teacher. Thanks for coming in, Daisy. Why do

schools stream pupils in the first place? The reason why schools

stream is to help their pupils to learn. So if you are put into an

ability set, what that means that all of the other pupils in that

case will be roughly the same ability as you, so you will be able

to study the same material and go at the same pace. Why do you think

it's a good thing? If not, a lot of the pupils will find the work too

easy and others will find it too hard. Pippa says it makes her feel

useless. What would you say to kids in the bottom sets who think it is

unfair because they get branded stupid? That's bad, if pupils are

branded stupid and called names, that is bad, and speak to your

teacher. Just because nuclear the bottom set doesn't mean you are

stupid. We are all good at some things and less good at other

things. We all have different talents and abilities. The

important thing is you work hard and do the best to your ability.

Thank you Daisy. Now to the boy who was banned from

school for wearing his hair like this, in corn rous. We can't show

you his face for legal reasons. The school said it didn't fit with

their uniform policy. The court said the school's decision to ban

him was racist and against the law. Some good news for those of you who

applied for Olympic tickets and missed out. Like me! You'll have

first dibs at the 2.3 million tickets that will go on sale next

week. Most of them are for football. The rest are for sports like

archery and hockey. Let's face it, when it comes to sport, colours are

important. If you were Spurs like me, blue is a big deal. I'm more of

an Arsenal red. Today I am in blue. Shy have planned this better! The

new kit has a splash of blue in it, the colour of rival Everton. We've

been speaking to fans on both sides. Thing is is not a kit for Liverpool,

because it looks like an Everton kit. I think this kit will make

them play like Everton and they'll just lose. I think Liverpool have

always had red all over the kit. I do think they need a change. It is

quite awful, because they look better in red and not blue. They

are stealing our colours because blue is for winners and red for

losers. I don't think this is Liverpool Football Club, the fans

or the club, because Liverpool have been red since it was established

in 1892. If you hate it, the good thing is

they hardly ever wear the blue kill. And it is not really blue, it is

sighian. I hate Sunday evenings because it

means it's nearly the end of the weekend, and they're about to get

even more horrible because Horrible Histories is back with a new series.

The show is still on CBBC of course, Tuesdays at 5.15pm. Write it down!

But now a different version will be on BBC One at 6.00pm on Sundays.

Leah caught up with two of the show's stars, who look very

different out of costume! We get to do whatever we aren't really.

idiots trying to make each other laugh competition, that they happen

to put on telly. Look at her! love that. Martha, you play Queen

Elizabeth. What was that like? love playing her because she is

very bossy and she is quite horrific to look at, so it is a

lovely character to play. It must be a stretch for you! Perfect teeth,

porcelain skin, why however did you manage to capture my good looks.

Where do you come up with the ideas around the history of what you

bring? We start with the facts and sometimes that fact is enough to

fill an entire sketch. Other times it is a case with the songs it is

30 different facts stitched together. We'll take everything

that you own and get back on our ship and go back home #

If you could transport yourself back in time which rear ra would

you like to explore? I would love to go back to Victorian times. I

love the fact they had an amazing can-do attitude. People will say

you can't build a steam train under London" and they said, "You watch."

Is this an amazing thing to be involved with? Absolutely. While

we've always approached it as a comedy show, we've never forgotton

fabgtdz. There is so much checking that goes on. A guy's job on the

show is purely to do the historical search. It is important to do both,

because it is an educational show. Just time to tell you what the

Match of the Day Kickabout gang are up to this week. We've got the

latest comings and goings on the managerial merry-go-round - Alex

McLeish's move from Birmingham to Villa being the biggest shocker of

course. The Murray brothers - that's Andy and Jamie - tell me

about their footy heroes. Man United star Nani has sent us a

postcard from his jollies. And someone call an optician, because

we're seeing double! We've got a great impressionist on the show.

All that tomorrow at 7.25am on the CBBC channel, and 11.40am on BBC 2.

Before we go, we want to leave you with a weekend treat! Oh yes. If
