Good afternoon! | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to know this Friday! | 0:00:05 | 0:00:11 | |
You won't want to miss all this. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Rooney, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:15 | |
Rooney, what | 0:00:15 | 0:00:15 | |
Rooney, what a | 0:00:15 | 0:00:15 | |
Rooney, what a goal! | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
The kids hoping to be the next big sport commentating stars. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
And from stars to the skies, the record-breaking solar | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
plane takes off again. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
First, it's a big weekend for William Shakespeare fans. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
As celebrations kick off to remember 400 years since the death of | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
the country's best-known playwright. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
He's the man behind famous plays like Romeo and Juliet, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
and A Midsummer's Night Dream. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
Leah's been finding out why Shakespeare really is for everyone. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:48 | |
Without even knowing it, we owe quite a lot of the language | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
we use today to William Shakespeare. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
It's thought he came up with words like excellent, gloomy, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
and even coined the phrase "budge an inch." | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
The thing is with Shakespeare, you don't have to understand | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
all of his language. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
What I love about him is, if you get a grasp of characters and themes, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
you're pretty much halfway there. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
And that's happening at this school in Cheshire. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
Kids are tackling one of his more complicated tragedies, King Lear. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
I'll trick him into thinking that Father hates him. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
This class are part of the children's Shakespeare Festival. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
They're rehearsing for a big performance at Manchester's Exchange | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
Theatre, and some had never heard of William Shakespeare before now. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
It's just incredible how long his plays have been going on for. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Until about seven years old, I didn't really know about, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
I didn't know who Shakespeare was. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
What I find impressive is the fact that he wrote around 38 plays | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
and created 1,000 words. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
Shakespeare really made a name for himself when he travelled | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
to London, and one man who knows pretty much everything | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
about Shakespeare is author Michael Rosen. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:04 | |
A girl from a primary school once told me, she said, the thing | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
about Shakespeare is, you get to the big stuff really quickly. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
You get to stuff like love and death and greed and jealousy and hate, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
all those big feelings, and you get to them really quickly. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:21 | |
For these children, the hope is, 400 years on from today, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
everyone will still be talking about Britain's | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
best-known playwright. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
Thanks, Leah. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
Time for a quick round-up of some other big stories. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
The company that owns Alton Towers has admitted breaking Health | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
and Safety laws over the Smiler rollercoaster crash last June, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
when five people were seriously hurt. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
Merlin Attractions has been told it might have to pay a big fine. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
A Sats spelling test, due to be taken by half-a-million | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
seven year olds in England next month, has been scrapped. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
It's after it was accidentally put online as a practice | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
paper by officials. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
And a plane that flies using only energy from the Sun has | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
continued its journey around the world. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Solar Impluse 2 had to stop in Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean last | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
July because of battery problems. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
But they've now been fixed. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
Knowledge, enthusiasm and a passion for sport - | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
just some of the things you need to be a super star | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
radio commentator. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
I've been finding out how you could get yourself on the airwaves. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
Takes the shot! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
Rooney, what a goal! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
The Manchester United Number 10 does it again. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
Have you ever listened to sport commentators and thought, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
I could do that? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
Well, now could be your chance. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
BBC Radio 5 Live want to search the country | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
for a brand-new star and, today, they have launched a | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Commentator of the Year competition. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
It's open to anyone aged 11 to 15. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
All you have to do is record yourself commentating on one of five | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
key sporting moments. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
The challenge of commentating is to convey the excitement, | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
drama of a great sporting moment when you know the person who's | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
listening can't see any of it. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
What I would want to hear is someone who's got that natural | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
enthusiasm, someone who knows what they're talking about. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
And also, what I want is a little bit of the person. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
Three, two, one, action! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
Throw-in on the right side here... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
These students from Warrington are having a go. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Look at that, absolutely astonishing! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
It was quite exciting, to be honest. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
I've never done anything like this before. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
I found it really nerve-wracking. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
It's not easy to think of things off the top of your head. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
I've learned, like, how to approach it and what sort | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
of knowledge you need. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
And you never know, the next person to pick up a mic | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
like this could be you. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
What a finish! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
APPLAUSE. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
That's all from the team today, but Newsround's back, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
right here, all weekend. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Have a brilliant evening! | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 |
