0:00:34 > 0:00:36First up, fire safety is being checked at tower

0:00:36 > 0:00:40blocks around the UK after the Grenfell Tower

0:00:40 > 0:00:41block fire last week.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Some blocks with similar cladding on are having it removed.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Cladding is a covering put around the outside of some buildings

0:00:46 > 0:00:49to make them look nicer.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53The Police say the cladding on the Grenfell block

0:00:53 > 0:00:54failed safety tests.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56The Government says that they will take action

0:00:56 > 0:01:03if there are any problems and says, "Nobody will be living

0:01:03 > 0:01:04in buildings that are unsafe".

0:01:04 > 0:01:08The investigation into exactly what happened continues.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11And staying with that story, thousands of you have been wearing

0:01:11 > 0:01:13green clothes or accessories to school today.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's part of a big fundraising day called Green for Grenfell to raise

0:01:16 > 0:01:18money for the people affected by the fire.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Some of you sent us video messages to say why

0:01:20 > 0:01:24you wanted to get involved.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27I have decided to wear green to show that I am

0:01:27 > 0:01:30thinking of the victims of

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Grenfell Tower, and I'm doing this so that I can raise

0:01:32 > 0:01:36awareness for the people who have more power to help us, so the

0:01:36 > 0:01:38people who can make changes, they can make changes.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41I'm wearing green today and and I've donated some money towards the fire

0:01:41 > 0:01:44in Grenfell Tower.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47I would want this money to be donated to make better

0:01:47 > 0:01:51facilities for the people who have been affected by the fire.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53As you can see, I've made my own T-shirt

0:01:53 > 0:01:57for Grenfell Tower in London.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00To show respect all the people who suffered at the fire.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02People may be wondering why a school in Birmingham

0:02:02 > 0:02:05would be doing this, but we are part of the same country and we are

0:02:05 > 0:02:07united.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I raised money for Grenfell Tower, and what I hoped they would

0:02:10 > 0:02:20use it for is for houses and teddy bears and toys and new bedrooms.

0:02:22 > 0:02:27Today we have launched green for Grenfell Tower, where we released

0:02:27 > 0:02:29balloons into the sky and we launched the bake sale to raise

0:02:29 > 0:02:32money.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35I'm very pleased to be wearing green today, as we're making our

0:02:35 > 0:02:42voices heard and also as the fire was such a great tragedy.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44It's really nice to see primary school

0:02:44 > 0:02:48children going to school today in green to show

0:02:48 > 0:02:49that it doesn't matter if

0:02:49 > 0:02:50you're old or young.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Everyone is still thinking about the people affected

0:02:52 > 0:02:58and showing their love and respect for all of those people.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Now they were told they couldn't wear shorts in the hot weather

0:03:01 > 0:03:05so they decided to protest and wear skirts instead.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08It was a protest that got lots of people talking,

0:03:08 > 0:03:10we told you about it this morning too.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Well, guess what?

0:03:11 > 0:03:14The school has looked at the rules and has decided

0:03:14 > 0:03:18to let boys wear shorts from next year.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Next - thousands of people have already pitched up tent

0:03:20 > 0:03:23at the Glastonbury festival in the South West of England that

0:03:23 > 0:03:25gets going properly later.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43look like fun but there's a lot more to his moves than you might think.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48Zola is taking part in a special swimming session, which helps
