Morning, Ayshah here with your top

stories this Monday.

First up, if you were watching

Newsround last week you may remember

this lady - she's called

Andria Zafirakou, and she was up

for a global award for Best Teacher.

So how did she get on?

Andria Zafirakou!

Yes, she beat competition

from teachers from 170 countries

around the world to win.

Here's what she had to say.

To all the students all

over the world, I say,

whatever your circumstances,

whatever your troubles, please know

that you have the potential

to succeed in whatever your dreams

may be, and that is a right that

nobody should take from you.

Well done, Andria!

Next, for some of you when you look

out the window this morning,

it might look like a winter

wonderland, even though it's spring.

Hundreds of schools

in South West England

have a snow day today,

as up to 40cm has fallen and some

roads are really difficult

to walk or drive on.

Weather forecasters say temperatures

should get warmer by tomorrow.

Time to catch up

on some football news.

In the FA Cup, Chelsea will play

Southampton in the semi-finals.

Chelsea beat Leicester

City in extra time.

Pedro was the hero of the day,

his header winning the match.

Southampton managed two

goals as they beat Wigan

2-0 in their match.

The other semi-final

will be between Tottenham

and Manchester United.

Next, we've been travelling

around the UK hearing some

of your amazing real-life stories.

Today, we're hearing

from Daniel and Sabrina,

who managed to do something

incredible, all thanks

to learning first aid.

I feel really happy that I've

saved someone who I love.

In July, after school,

on the last day, we came upstairs

to say hello to our grandmother.

Straightaway we saw

her on the floor.

We saw that she couldn't breathe

so we opened up her airway,

we put her in the recovery position.

I was seeing if she wasn't choking

on her tongue or anything,

or anything was blocking her throat.

I was worried.

I didn't know if I

was doing it right.

I was a bit calm, all because of

Cub Scouts, I knew what to do.

When the paramedics came,

they were shocked on who put

them in this position,

and their words were

that we are diamonds.

I found it quite easy to learn

because all you had to do

is move her arms and legs

and open up airways.

Afterwards, we got to meet Prince

Harry because what of we've done.

I didn't know who he was before.

Prince Harry was quite amazed

about what we had done.

I think more children should learn

first aid because you don't know

when someone's going to collapse,

fall unconscious

or maybe even faint.

Well done, guys, and inspiring

story.

Can you make the noise of a cow?

How about a horse?

Or a cat?

Well, a teenager in Ghana can do

all of them and many more.

Listen to this...

MAKES COCKEREL NOISE.

Justice Osei discovered

he had the unusual talent

of copying animal noises.

He can do about 50 different

species, and is trying

to get a world record.

Now from one odd story to another -

bananas and strawberries,

which one would you say is a berry?

The answer might surprise you.

Here's this week Big Question.

Right, what to have for lunch today.

Hmm...

Banana...

A berry?

What?!

Excuse me, I think you'll find

you've got your sign wrong.

A banana isn't a berry.

No, I think you'll find I haven't.

What?!

I'm so confused.

This week's big question is...

"How is a banana a berry,

but a strawberry isn't?"

I mean, what?!

Let's ask an expert.

Hi, I'm Gemma, and I'm a botanist.

A botanist is a scientist

who studies plants.

Botanists call different fruit

types different names.

A banana is what we call

a berry because this fleshy

part contains the seeds.

You might not even notice

them when you eat them,

because they're really tiny,

but in wild bananas

they're quite big.

A strawberry, on the other hand,

is not what we call a berry,

because the seeds are on the outside

of this fleshy red part,

you can see them here.

So there are fruits

like strawberries and raspberries

which we all think of as berries

because that's what they've been

called for hundreds of years.

But if you want to get scientific,

botanically speaking, a banana

is a berry and strawberry isn't.

And it turns out there

are more unexpected berries,

including kiwis, tomatoes,

and even cucumbers.

Well, there you have it.

But if you ask me,

it's all a bit bananas.

Before we go this morning,

we all know dogs love

going for walkies -

and they love it even more

if there are lots of them!

Almost 1000 tiny sausage dogs

and their owners got together

in Greenwich Park in London

over the weekend.

Only on Newsround!

We're back at 4.20pm.
