Alexis Sanchez goes head-to-head

with Olivier Giroud.

See ya.

Good morning guys, Hayley

here with your Monday Newsround!

Let's start at the Winter Olympics,

and after a mega weekend of medals,

Team GB are just one medal away

from their highest ever

total at a Winter Games.

After a gold and two bronzes

on Saturday and Sunday,

we've had some more

great performances overnight.

Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland

are through to the final

of the ice dancing.

It's an amazing achievement

for Penny, who, less than two years

ago was told she may never skate

again after an injury.

They now go on to tomorrow's

free skate where the

medals will be decided.

There was success too

for Rowan Cheshire in

the freestyle skiing halfpipe.

She missed out on the Games four

years ago because of injury,

but finished ninth to progress

to the next round.

But it was a morning of frustration

for Britain's Aimee Fuller

in snowboarding's Big Air event.

Her Olympics are over after she fell

on both her qualifying runs

including this big crash

in her second attempt.

Ouch!

She's absolutely fine,

but she's got some big bruises.

Here on Newsround we love hearing

about your amazing lives,

so we've travelled around

the country to hear some

of your inspiring stories.

One of those we met was Jack ?

he struggled to learn

to talk when he was young,

but it was music that

really helped him.

Watch this.

I have ADHD, dyspraxia and autism.

I have problems

communicating with children.

And making friends.

Hello.

My name's Jack.

I'm ten years old and when I was

little, I was not able to speak.

And I had speech and

language therapy, but that

didn't really help me.

I used to do head-banging

whenever I wanted something.

I had to wear a red solid helmet.

It was just so sad for me.

I just hated it.

My first music lesson,

a singing teacher was playing

the piano and then I started to sing

la la la.

I was like, oh, my God!

I can speak!

But basically, I had to learn

a word by singing it,

and then speaking it.

So once I've got a word,

I've got it for basically like life.

Music really relaxes me,

because when I'm getting

all stressed, it's like someone's

putting a spell on me that I can,

like, music makes me so happy.

If there is any other children

like me who have problems speaking,

find something that will relax

you like for example drawing

or music or anything

that will relax you.

Now I start speaking, my mum says

I never stopped speaking.

And I think that's because I need

to make up for all the years

when I wasn't speaking.

And if you enjoyed that

and want to see more

stories like Jack's,

you can head over to Newsround

online and check these videos out.

Last up, we've all got things

we like to do with our family,

like having a meal together

or going for a walk.

Well, we've been to meet one family

who spend time together

just clowning around.

Have a look at this.

There are three clowns in my family.

I'm one of the luckiest fathers

alive to have the opportunity

and the chance just to perform

and have a fantastic

time with my family.

I've seen the same routines Dad has

about a hundred million and one

times, but it's all right,

the girls really enjoy it,

and the girls have always got things

to show, and they're always really

proud of things that

they do with their dad.

He rings bells or something.

Sorry.

I'm trying to do this!

I'm trying to do it.

I'm trying to do bells and...

I'm very proud dad.

More than proud.

When I see them having fun

and enjoying themselves,

and when I see people smiling,

I'm smiling and I'm having fun.

Daddy.

He is great, and he's funny,

and he does silly jokes.

That's it for now.

We'll be back at 8:20

with all the latest from the biggest

British movie awards show.

And you can head over

Newsround online for the rest

of the days's stories.

Including a quiz of the week, so

test yourself on that.
