Hi, guys.

Ricky here with your Sunday

afternoon bulletin.

Coming up in the next few minutes:

Gold at last for GB

at the Paralympics.

And it's snowy here,

but spring has sprung in China!

Great Britain has finished

the Winter Paralympics

with its first gold medal.

Menna Fitzpatrick and her guide

Jen Kehoe came in first place

in the women's visually-impaired

slalom.

It is GB's only gold of these Games

and only their second

Winter Paralympic gold ever.

Millie Knight and Brett

Wild also won bronze.

Let's hear from the winners.

It's been absolutely astonishing,

the way that this week has

gone, from quite low

to extremely, extremely high.

As soon as we crossed that finish

line on the second race,

my confidence got boosted,

and for winning the bronze as well,

it's absolutely amazing.

To finish on a gold medal and put

in one of our strongest performances

this week is beyond words.

It hasn't sunk in and I think it

probably won't until we get back

to the UK and are back

in our own beds and have a lie in.

Next up, the snow is back again!

Parts of the UK have been covered

with snow and ice, as the "mini

beast from the east" sweeps in.

It's back!

Just when you thought better

weather was on the way.

Lots of areas in the UK have woken

up to snowy and icy scenes,

but there are weather warnings

in the south-west of England,

south-east and Mid Wales

and the West Midlands.

Five to ten centimetres of snow

is forecast to fall.

There is disruption on the trains,

the roads and at some airports.

Still, at least someone

is enjoying it.

This dog is called Sir Benson.

He's only got two legs,

but luckily his wheels

are helping him go for walkies

in the snow.

At Manchester United,

workers had quite a job

getting the pitch ready.

And anyone for a swim?

I think I'll pass, although it's not

putting this lady off.

Here's hoping the mini beast

from the east will be gone soon.

Well, it might be freezing here, but

it's definitely spring elsewhere.

Check out this amazing sight

of cherry blossoms that

have sprung in China.

Visitors from all over the country

have travelled to see them

and take photographs.

Next, we're talking

about teachers that inspire you.

A competition called

the Global Teachers Prize is aiming

to find the world's best teacher.

The $1 million prize

is handed out tonight,

and a teacher from the UK

is in the final ten.

Let's meet her.

I absolutely love what I do.

I can't imagine

having any other job.

They are my kids!

I am a mum to about 1,400 students.

Good morning, girls.

Morning.

Namaste, ladies.

Good morning.

Kalimera, hola.

How are you?

My calling in life is to make sure

that every single child

reaches their full potential,

that I unlock that,

that I make sure that,

whatever it is that they need

to achieve, I make

it happen for them.

# Beautiful like

diamonds in the sky...

She would look after me like my mum

would look after me.

It doesn't matter

where they come from.

It doesn't matter who they are.

She would push you to your full

potential, no matter what.

She's like a hero

to me, she really is.

Now, you'll be used to seeing sights

like this in the night sky.

But what if I told you that,

for British Science Week,

Leicester Cathedral hosted

a huge moon.

Confused?

Me too.

Luckily, Ayshah is

here to explain more.

It's not a sight you see every

day in a cathedral -

a huge replica of the moon,

hanging from the ceiling.

These schoolchildren from Leicester

have been to check it out.

We've been looking at the moon,

which is incredible.

Just, it's really, really nice...

It's just an incredible

thing to look at.

I like looking at the moon

because it's really big and it's

got loads of craters.

It looks like it would be really

hard to count them all.

I didn't actually know

that there was an ocean in it.

It's bigger than I expected.

We've been laying down under

the moon and trying to find

the smallest crater,

and that's the size of Leicester.

I found it enjoyable.

The moon was made by an artist

in the UK called Luke Jerram.

It's seven metres wide and he's

studied Nasa images of the moon's

surface in detail to help him

make the replica.

Susie is a scientist and is running

activities for children.

She wants more people

to get into science.

I am here today

because I love science.

My advice to anyone out there who's

interested in science is to study

hard at school but also do

lots of activities

in your spare time.

Who knows, one of you watching

could be the next person that goes

to the moon or even onto Mars.

And finally, it's not just snow

falling from the sky these days.

It's raining gold - sort of.

200 bars of the precious metal fell

from a plane in Russia

as it was taking off.

They were left scattered

all over the runway but have

all been recovered.

It's thought the loading hatch

on the plane broke off,

setting the content free.

That's it from the weekend team.

Newsround's back at 7:40am tomorrow.

Enjoy the snow!
