0:00:11 > 0:00:15Hi, I'm Martin and this is Newsround.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17It's that time of year again, Children In Need.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21I went to a school to find out what kids there have been doing.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Yeah, Pudsey is back and there's only one reason why.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I've come to this school in Manchester because of...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29ALL: Children In Need!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Yep, Children In Need.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33It's time to dig deep in those pockets and make
0:00:33 > 0:00:36some money, isn't it?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38They've got loads of stuff going on at this school.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40They've got a tombola, cakes for sale, loads of sweets.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43They've even got pictures of their teachers when they were a baby,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and you have to guess which teacher it is.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Imagine seeing your teachers when they were babies!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I've got some pupils here.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Tell me why you've got a moustache on your face.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56You suit it!
0:00:56 > 0:01:02Thank you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03We're having a tradition.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Basically, it's just for a bit of fun.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I like that.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Tell me some of the things you're doing in the school that
0:01:09 > 0:01:10I haven't mentioned.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Face paint and guess the name of the teddy
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and pin the nose on Pudsey.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Loads going on.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Why is it important to do this today?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Cos it's for children who are maybe a bit ill.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Well, guys, I'm going to let you go and sell some more cakes and do
0:01:30 > 0:01:31stuff for Children In Need.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I'm going to go and find myself some cakes in a minute.
0:01:34 > 0:01:41But for now, it's happy Children In Need!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43One of the big events taking place
0:01:43 > 0:01:46is The One Show's Rickshaw Challenge.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49An incredible team of six young cyclists have travelled nearly
0:01:49 > 0:01:52500 miles from London to Glasgow to raise money to help children
0:01:52 > 0:01:53and young people across the UK.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57One of the incredible riders - Liv - took some time off the bike
0:01:57 > 0:02:00to send us this message.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Hi, Newsround.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05I do the Rickshaw Challenge
0:02:05 > 0:02:08to raise awareness of bereavement counselling.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11The toughest part of the challenge so far
0:02:11 > 0:02:14that I've found really difficult was getting up those hills.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But I have an amazing team around me and they're
0:02:16 > 0:02:19there to support me and they keep me motivated.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49But an absolute pleasure
0:02:49 > 0:02:59and an honour to be here on this day, because I remember
0:03:03 > 0:03:05But an absolute pleasure and an honour to be here
