Hi, I'm Leah and this is Newsround.

0:00:030:00:05

Stick around for all of this.

0:00:050:00:07

Music lovers are gearing up for Glastonbury.

0:00:070:00:17

How wearing a skirt to school has helped these boys.

0:00:170:00:22

And find out what's got this gorilla splashing around.

0:00:220:00:26

First up, fire safety is being checked at tower

0:00:340:00:36

blocks around the UK after the Grenfell Tower

0:00:360:00:40

block fire last week.

0:00:400:00:41

Some blocks with similar cladding on are having it removed.

0:00:410:00:44

Cladding is a covering put around the outside of some buildings

0:00:440:00:46

to make them look nicer.

0:00:460:00:49

The Police say the cladding on the Grenfell block

0:00:490:00:53

failed safety tests.

0:00:530:00:54

The Government says that they will take action

0:00:540:00:56

if there are any problems and says, "Nobody will be living

0:00:560:01:03

in buildings that are unsafe".

0:01:030:01:04

The investigation into exactly what happened continues.

0:01:040:01:08

And staying with that story, thousands of you have been wearing

0:01:080:01:11

green clothes or accessories to school today.

0:01:110:01:13

It's part of a big fundraising day called Green for Grenfell to raise

0:01:130:01:16

money for the people affected by the fire.

0:01:160:01:18

Some of you sent us video messages to say why

0:01:180:01:20

you wanted to get involved.

0:01:200:01:24

I have decided to wear green to show that I am

0:01:240:01:27

thinking of the victims of

0:01:270:01:30

Grenfell Tower, and I'm doing this so that I can raise

0:01:300:01:32

awareness for the people who have more power to help us, so the

0:01:320:01:36

people who can make changes, they can make changes.

0:01:360:01:38

I'm wearing green today and and I've donated some money towards the fire

0:01:380:01:41

in Grenfell Tower.

0:01:410:01:44

I would want this money to be donated to make better

0:01:440:01:47

facilities for the people who have been affected by the fire.

0:01:470:01:51

As you can see, I've made my own T-shirt

0:01:510:01:53

for Grenfell Tower in London.

0:01:530:01:57

To show respect all the people who suffered at the fire.

0:01:570:02:00

People may be wondering why a school in Birmingham

0:02:000:02:02

would be doing this, but we are part of the same country and we are

0:02:020:02:05

united.

0:02:050:02:07

I raised money for Grenfell Tower, and what I hoped they would

0:02:070:02:10

use it for is for houses and teddy bears and toys and new bedrooms.

0:02:100:02:20

Today we have launched green for Grenfell Tower, where we released

0:02:220:02:27

balloons into the sky and we launched the bake sale to raise

0:02:270:02:29

money.

0:02:290:02:32

I'm very pleased to be wearing green today, as we're making our

0:02:320:02:35

voices heard and also as the fire was such a great tragedy.

0:02:350:02:42

It's really nice to see primary school

0:02:420:02:44

children going to school today in green to show

0:02:440:02:48

that it doesn't matter if

0:02:480:02:49

you're old or young.

0:02:490:02:50

Everyone is still thinking about the people affected

0:02:500:02:52

and showing their love and respect for all of those people.

0:02:520:02:58

Now they were told they couldn't wear shorts in the hot weather

0:02:580:03:01

so they decided to protest and wear skirts instead.

0:03:010:03:05

It was a protest that got lots of people talking,

0:03:050:03:08

we told you about it this morning too.

0:03:080:03:10

Well, guess what?

0:03:100:03:11

The school has looked at the rules and has decided

0:03:110:03:14

to let boys wear shorts from next year.

0:03:140:03:18

Next - thousands of people have already pitched up tent

0:03:180:03:20

at the Glastonbury festival in the South West of England that

0:03:200:03:23

gets going properly later.

0:03:230:03:25

So after more than 40 years of Glasto here's what you need

0:03:250:03:27

to know about this year.

0:03:270:03:29

Glastonbury.

0:03:290:03:37

One of Britain's biggest music festivals.

0:03:370:03:39

It is famous for attracting huge stars.

0:03:390:03:42

This pyramid-shaped stage and loads of might.

0:03:420:03:47

This is the Festival's 47th anniversary.

0:03:470:03:50

It takes place on a field in Somerset.

0:03:500:03:54

And when it rains, there's nowhere to hide.

0:03:540:03:57

More than 175,000 fans are expected to

0:03:570:04:02

sing along from Friday through to midnight on Sunday.

0:04:020:04:04

Ed Sheeran is the big headliner, but there are

0:04:040:04:10

loads of bands and singers taking part.

0:04:100:04:15

Here's just a few.

0:04:150:04:17

# I'm only human after all. #

0:04:170:04:21

And believe it or not, it's not all about the music.

0:04:210:04:25

There are venues for kids and even a cinema tent.

0:04:250:04:32

And finally, to a dancing gorilla, well - it is Friday.

0:04:320:04:35

Meet Zola.

0:04:350:04:36

He lives at Dallas Zoo in the US.

0:04:360:04:38

It might just

0:04:380:04:40

look like fun but there's a lot more to his moves than you might think.

0:04:400:04:43

Zola is taking part in a special swimming session, which helps

0:04:430:04:48

provide mental and physical stimulation for animals.

0:04:480:04:51

Nice moves!

0:04:510:04:52

That's all from me, Newsround's back with Ayshah

0:04:520:04:54

tomorrow just before nine.
