Hello, I'm Martin live in Rio with a special Newsround

:00:12.:00:14.

on the final day of the Paralympic Games.

:00:15.:00:16.

I'm right in the middle of the action here in Brazil

:00:17.:00:20.

where Paralympics GB have achieved their best medal haul

:00:21.:00:22.

Britain now have 147 medals with six more golds won on day ten.

:00:23.:00:29.

The final night of competition and a day which didn't

:00:30.:00:37.

The pool, like the velodrome, is where Para GB seem to dominate.

:00:38.:00:44.

Ollie Hynd was the first to kick things off, winning the 200 metre

:00:45.:00:48.

medley, his second in Rio and in world record time too.

:00:49.:00:53.

Hannah Russell followed it up with her second gold as well.

:00:54.:00:57.

In the 200 metre individual medley, Jessica Jane Applegate managed

:00:58.:01:02.

silver with Bethany Firth in top spot.

:01:03.:01:10.

13-year-old Abby Kane, yes, 13, will return to school next week,

:01:11.:01:12.

a Paralympic silver medallist, how about that?

:01:13.:01:16.

15-year-old Ellie Robinson won bronze in the pool as well,

:01:17.:01:18.

And the team dreams don't end there, Jess Stretton was on target

:01:19.:01:27.

in the archery, mixing sporting gold with her GCSE studies.

:01:28.:01:30.

Britain bagged silver and bronze in the same event.

:01:31.:01:33.

Meanwhile, on the track, Maria Lyle won bronze

:01:34.:01:35.

A day after winning 400 metre gold, Paul Blake took home

:01:36.:01:41.

Then just when you thought it couldn't get any better

:01:42.:01:49.

for Paralympics GB, Dame Sarah Storey, Britain's most

:01:50.:01:51.

decorated female Paralympian won her third Rio gold with victory

:01:52.:01:54.

Now, the fact that this city is hosting the Paralympics means

:01:55.:02:06.

that over the last few weeks loads of people with a range

:02:07.:02:09.

of disabilities have come to Rio to compete.

:02:10.:02:15.

I have found it quite difficult sometimes getting up-and-down

:02:16.:02:20.

pavements and in and out of buildings.

:02:21.:02:22.

like for disabled people who live here?

:02:23.:02:25.

I've been to meet 11-year-old Davizinho who says Rio

:02:26.:02:27.

is really hard to get around for people like him.

:02:28.:02:30.

This school is in one of the poorer parts of Rio but they're doing

:02:31.:02:38.

Through the power of sports and games, they are bringing disabled

:02:39.:02:42.

TRANSLATION: I really enjoy playing with football, it is a lot of fun.

:02:43.:02:57.

TRANSLATION: My favourite part was when we were playing

:02:58.:03:03.

with the ball and it was going all over the place and I had to get

:03:04.:03:09.

TRANSLATION: I like the run because you get to feel

:03:10.:03:17.

We were able to have a lot of fun, cheer and wind.

:03:18.:03:28.

TRANSLATION: Having a sister with disability is cool.

:03:29.:03:33.

She plays like everybody else and she is just like everybody else.

:03:34.:03:41.

TRANSLATION: It is great having people with disabilities

:03:42.:03:43.

The important thing is to help one another so sometimes if they forget

:03:44.:03:49.

What has it been like having the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro?

:03:50.:03:58.

This is my first Olympics but I was too young for the other

:03:59.:04:07.

one and so it has been incredible, really a privilege to watch.

:04:08.:04:11.

And it shows how the people of Rio are great fans.

:04:12.:04:16.

The city is more colourful and vibrant, it is exciting

:04:17.:04:23.

That was not that story, it was some schoolkids in Rio bringing

:04:24.:04:43.

able-bodied and disabled kids together.

:04:44.:04:44.

Now, Paralympics GB have won an incredible 64 gold

:04:45.:04:46.

And one of those gold medallists is para-canoeist Emma Wiggs,

:04:47.:04:52.

Congratulations on the gold. How does it feel? Quite heavy, actually!

:04:53.:05:04.

An incredible experience to be part of the team that have done so well.

:05:05.:05:11.

How has Rio been treating you? Amazing. The people of Rio and the

:05:12.:05:16.

volunteers and everybody has been so helpful, we have been treated like

:05:17.:05:20.

stars and everyone has been brilliant. What will you do with a

:05:21.:05:26.

medal? It happens in an ice box but it will be out and about hopefully

:05:27.:05:33.

going to schools to see the kids. Thank you very much for coming in

:05:34.:05:37.

and talking to us and congratulations. Enjoy the closing

:05:38.:05:37.

ceremony. That's nearly it

:05:38.:05:39.

from the team in Rio. The Paralympics come to a end

:05:40.:05:41.

tonight with a spectacular I have met some great athletes and

:05:42.:05:51.

seen some great sporting moments. The people of Rio have been

:05:52.:05:57.

fantastic. I will see back in the UK goodbye.
