Hi, I'm Ricky, it's Wednesday, it's 4.20pm and I've got | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
today's top stories, live on Newsround. | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
This is what we've got for you in the next few minutes: | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Why scientists are getting up close with panda poo. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
And stayed tuned for the fastest snowboarder in Britain. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
First, the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations got | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
Although the big day isn't until tomorrow, | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
hundreds of kids were invited to Windsor Castle to sing songs | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
God save our gracious Queen. It is a big day for these kids, they have a | :00:41. | :00:57. | |
VIP guest to impress and it is time to exercise their vocals. They are | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
performing a number of songs in front of the Queen. The children go | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
to a school close to Windsor Castle, where the Queen spends a lot of her | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
time. Along with other children they will kick-start the Queen's 90th | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
birthday celebrations. And while a feeling? It is quite exciting to see | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
the Queen because not many people have seen the Queen. In front of | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
Prince Philip and the Queen and other people, it is really freaky. | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
The children today stood in front of their special guest their hearts | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
out. Today we met the Queen and Prince Philip and some other people. | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
In a way it is not scary because you are singing with other schools. I | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
thought she would wear blue but she wore pink. I thought she would come | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
straight to us and I did not know what to say if she had asked a | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
question. It was really, truly amazing to me the Queen because this | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
is like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it doesn't come up every | :02:07. | :02:07. | |
day. The Queen's grandson | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
the Duke of Cambridge Some newspapers claim that | :02:11. | :02:11. | |
since Prince William left his job as an RAF pilot back in 2013, | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
he's spent too much time going on holidays and relaxing | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
with his family, and not enough time doing royal duties | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
like helping charities. But the prince has hit back saying | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
he takes his responsibilities To be honest, I am going to get | :02:27. | :02:40. | |
plenty of criticism over my lifetime and it is something that I don't | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
completely ignore but it is not something I'd take completely to | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
heart. When the Queen decides that she is going to hand down more | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
responsibilities I will be the first person to accept them. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
The UK's only giant pandas, Sunshine and Sweetie, | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
are taking part in a special project looking at their poo. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Animal experts from Edinburgh zoo are collecting and investigating | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
what's in the poo to understand more about the animals' eating habits. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
It's hoped the research will help the animals in the wild | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
It's really hard to work out what giant pandas are eating, | :03:08. | :03:24. | |
which makes it really difficult for places like the zoo to make sure | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
they are feeding them exactly what they need. | :03:29. | :03:29. | |
We are really excited that, by working out exactly | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
what they are eating, we can actually help not only | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
conserve them in the wild but also hopefully help Edinburgh Zoo breed | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Take a look at Europa, the moon of Jupiter. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
Scientist say they're keen to launch a mission there in | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
They're meeting in Paris this week to consider the best options. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
It's likely they'll send a probe to explore the icy surface | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
in the hope of finding out more about our solar system. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Next, being part of an after-school club can help | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
That's what new research out today says. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
We've been asking if after-school activities make a difference | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Hollie from Carnoustie in Scotland says she goes to dancing club and it | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Suhas in Newcastle is a fan of after school clubs too, | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
he says since he's been getting active, he reckons he's become more | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
And Milly-Jo goes to gymnastics after school she says it | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Thank you to everyone who sent in messages. | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
You can check out more of them online. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Finally to the fastest snow boarder in Britain. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
This is Jamie Barrow reaching more than 94 miles an hour | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
It's a new British record, but if you think that's fast, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
he didn't come close to the world record, | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
held by a Frenchman who went over 126 miles per hour last year. | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7.40am. | :04:53. | :04:57. |
