Hey, I'm Whitney with your Sunday afternoon Newsround.

Coming up: It is Sir Mo's last ever UK race on the track.

And an Olympic style super slide.

Afternoon, guys.

Whitney here with your Sunday Newsround.

Let's start with some quick sports stories.

Mo Farah will run his last ever UK race on the track later.

He won gold and silver at the World Championships this

month, and he'll race in the Birmingham Grund Prix today.

After this, he will be racing marathons on the roads.

Manchester United made it eight goals in two games as they beat

Swansea 4-0 yesterday.

Pogba, Lukaku, and Martial scored the last three goals

in just four minutes.

Today's big match sees Spurs play Chelsea at 4pm.

A special service is being held in Barcelona this morning,

to remember those people affected by the attacks there.

The King and Queen of Spain joined people from the city at the mass

at the city's famous Sagrada Familia people from the city at the mass

Millions of people around the world are getting excited

about Monday's solar eclipse.

Parts of America will see a total eclipse -

that's where the Sun is completely blocked by the moon.

A group of UK scouts is travelling to get the best view

possible and we've been following their adventures.

Meet the Salisbury Scouts.

They are on an epic camping trip.

They're making a mammoth journey from the UK, all the way

to the Yellowstone National Park in the USA, where they will be able

to witness the Solar Eclipse.

Yellowstone's famous for its wildlife and for its geysers.

Hot springs of water and steam gush out at incredible speeds.

In fact, Yellowstone is home to more geysers

than anywhere else in the world.

Today we are in America at Yellowstone.

Looking at all the geysers and hot springs.

Later on today, we are going to go to Jackson.

And on Monday we are going to see the eclipse.

I'm really excited for it.

So is everyone else.

It's coming up really quickly and I'm really excited about it.

It's not long now!

Now, the summer holiday is ending, and some of you are already

heading back to school.

For some people, that means starting High School for the first time.

It can be a little nerve-wracking, but don't worry - these guys sent us

some top tips to help you out.

When it is like a Friday, don't act excited because the teachers

will most likely keep you later so you'll

miss your bus or you'll have to stay at school later.

If you are feeling nervous, you should go and talk to someone

because that's what I did in the first couple of weeks

and it made me feel a lot more confident about school.

Don't feel stressed.

It's a big school, it's going to be bigger than primary school,

and it takes a while to get used to it.

But after a while you will get used to it.

Be loud and confident with your answer, instead

of just being like, "Oh, is it this?"

Behave, do your homework, do what the teacher asks.

Try and make as many new friends who don't go

to your primary as you can.

On the first day, don't be by yourself.

Go and find new people, make new friends.

First impressions for teachers are really important

because teachers all base how your behaviour is

off that first impression.

And you don't have a first impression twice,

so you should behave really well.

Whether you love bats or not, most of us probably wouldn't

want to live with a load of them.

But some churches are letting these little guys make themselves at home.

Here's Ayshah.

It might be a bit cold and draughty, but for bats, it is one

of their favourite places to make a home.

And these kids have come to the skirt in Norfolk to find out

all about the bats that live here.

I've been around and seen two of these, like, tiny bats.

That were flappering about.

And going like...

I saw two of the small bats.

I saw a flaper bat.

I like bats because they can hang upside down.

I like bats because they fly around.

But they're not always the easiest animals to live with.

And the people that own churches are worried

that the bats are damaging these very old buildings.

With the bat wee leaving little white spots

like this on gravestones.

So they might not be the most welcome guests,

but it's actually really important to protect these bats.

Bat populations over a number of years have been declining.

Hopefully we have stopped that.

But churches are one of the most important buildings

in the countryside that bats can use.

Luckily for the bats, this church is happy to let them

stay in the church roof now.

But they are building special bat boxes outside the church for them

to live in in the future, so they don't make

any more mess inside.

And a special project called Bats in Churches

is asking other places of worship to do the same.

Now, check this out for a mega water slide.

Thousands of people in Seoul, South Korea, took to the streets

to try out this 300 metre long water slide.

How fun does that look!

The fun street event is to advertise Winter Olympic Games

in the country next year.

And finally we want your questions to put to the people

who make Minecraft.

Yes, you heard it right.

Your chance to ask whatever you want to the people behind one

of the most popular computer games in the world.

So head over to the website now.

That's all from me.

Newsround is back at 07:40am tomorrow with loads of stuff looking

ahead to the eclipse.
