Hi, I'm Leah and this is Newsround. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Stick around for all of this. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Music lovers are gearing up for Glastonbury. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:17 | |
How wearing a skirt to school has helped these boys. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:22 | |
And find out what's got this gorilla splashing around. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
First up, fire safety is being checked at tower | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
blocks around the UK after the Grenfell Tower | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
block fire last week. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
Some blocks with similar cladding on are having it removed. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Cladding is a covering put around the outside of some buildings | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
to make them look nicer. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
The Police say the cladding on the Grenfell block | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
failed safety tests. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
The Government says that they will take action | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
if there are any problems and says, "Nobody will be living | 0:00:56 | 0:01:03 | |
in buildings that are unsafe". | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
The investigation into exactly what happened continues. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
And staying with that story, thousands of you have been wearing | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
green clothes or accessories to school today. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
It's part of a big fundraising day called Green for Grenfell to raise | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
money for the people affected by the fire. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Some of you sent us video messages to say why | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
you wanted to get involved. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
I have decided to wear green to show that I am | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
thinking of the victims of | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Grenfell Tower, and I'm doing this so that I can raise | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
awareness for the people who have more power to help us, so the | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
people who can make changes, they can make changes. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
I'm wearing green today and and I've donated some money towards the fire | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
in Grenfell Tower. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
I would want this money to be donated to make better | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
facilities for the people who have been affected by the fire. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
As you can see, I've made my own T-shirt | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
for Grenfell Tower in London. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
To show respect all the people who suffered at the fire. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
People may be wondering why a school in Birmingham | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
would be doing this, but we are part of the same country and we are | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
united. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
I raised money for Grenfell Tower, and what I hoped they would | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
use it for is for houses and teddy bears and toys and new bedrooms. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:20 | |
Today we have launched green for Grenfell Tower, where we released | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
balloons into the sky and we launched the bake sale to raise | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
money. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
I'm very pleased to be wearing green today, as we're making our | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
voices heard and also as the fire was such a great tragedy. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:42 | |
It's really nice to see primary school | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
children going to school today in green to show | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
that it doesn't matter if | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
you're old or young. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
Everyone is still thinking about the people affected | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
and showing their love and respect for all of those people. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:58 | |
Now they were told they couldn't wear shorts in the hot weather | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
so they decided to protest and wear skirts instead. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
It was a protest that got lots of people talking, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
we told you about it this morning too. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Well, guess what? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
The school has looked at the rules and has decided | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
to let boys wear shorts from next year. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Next - thousands of people have already pitched up tent | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
at the Glastonbury festival in the South West of England that | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
gets going properly later. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
So after more than 40 years of Glasto here's what you need | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
to know about this year. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Glastonbury. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:37 | |
One of Britain's biggest music festivals. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
It is famous for attracting huge stars. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
This pyramid-shaped stage and loads of might. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
This is the Festival's 47th anniversary. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
It takes place on a field in Somerset. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
And when it rains, there's nowhere to hide. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
More than 175,000 fans are expected to | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
sing along from Friday through to midnight on Sunday. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Ed Sheeran is the big headliner, but there are | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
loads of bands and singers taking part. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
Here's just a few. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
# I'm only human after all. # | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
And believe it or not, it's not all about the music. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
There are venues for kids and even a cinema tent. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:32 | |
And finally, to a dancing gorilla, well - it is Friday. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
Meet Zola. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
He lives at Dallas Zoo in the US. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
It might just | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
look like fun but there's a lot more to his moves than you might think. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Zola is taking part in a special swimming session, which helps | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
provide mental and physical stimulation for animals. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
Nice moves! | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back with Ayshah | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
tomorrow just before nine. | 0:04:54 | 0:05:02 |
