Hello. Leah here, with Sunday's Newsround. On the way: The new 50

:00:00.:00:08.

pence coin marking the Commonwealth Games.

:00:09.:00:12.

We count down the strangest clips of the week. This is Newsround.

:00:13.:00:19.

So One Direction kicked off Radio One's Big Weekend in Glasgow to

:00:20.:00:25.

25,000 excited fans. Loads more brilliant performances are expected

:00:26.:00:28.

today, but first take a look at how day one went.

:00:29.:00:34.

Glasgow Green packed full of fans... Many waiting around for these boys

:00:35.:00:38.

The boys had played in Dublin the night before and showed no signs of

:00:39.:00:41.

being tired, and with fans like these you can see why.

:00:42.:00:59.

Later in the day, Bastille really got the party going. Even Radio 1

:01:00.:01:06.

presenter Fern Cotton couldn't help having a little dance, but she got a

:01:07.:01:09.

bit tired. America with Taylor Swift recently,

:01:10.:01:17.

but got the crowds singing along. But the performance of last night

:01:18.:01:35.

went to Coldplay. And you might recognise this song.

:01:36.:01:47.

# We danced all night... Well, with day one being such a success, fans

:01:48.:01:51.

will be looking forward to doing it all again this afternoon. There will

:01:52.:01:54.

be performances from Kings of Leon and Katy Perry later, and there's

:01:55.:01:58.

more One Big Weekend goodies online. You can find out more about the

:01:59.:02:01.

line-up and check out some pictures from the festival so far.

:02:02.:02:05.

The Queen's baton continues its journey around Wales today, and to

:02:06.:02:09.

mark the occasion, a new 50p coin has been made. The coin was unveiled

:02:10.:02:13.

at the Royal Mint after the baton arrived with the help of Welsh

:02:14.:02:15.

400-metre hurdler Rhys Williams, who also helped create it.

:02:16.:02:26.

400-metre hurdler Rhys Williams, who Cemyln Davies took a look for us.

:02:27.:02:30.

As you can see, the machine here is still churning out these 50p coins

:02:31.:02:36.

with the Commonwealth Games design on them. Here is the director of the

:02:37.:02:43.

Mint. It is a Rennie Mackintosh inspired design. It

:02:44.:02:50.

Mint. It is a Rennie Mackintosh Scottish flag and two sports. These

:02:51.:02:58.

coins will now be heading off to go into circulation, and you should

:02:59.:03:00.

start finding them in your pocket fairly soon.

:03:01.:03:05.

An entire seaside village in Devon with popular surfing beaches has

:03:06.:03:08.

been put up for sale this weekend. The area has been owned by the same

:03:09.:03:12.

family for several generations and is expected to go on sale for around

:03:13.:03:15.

?11.5 million. The people overseeing the sale - estate agents - say

:03:16.:03:18.

they've received interest from around the world.

:03:19.:03:24.

A dream come true and a moment that will live with me forever. That's

:03:25.:03:27.

how Gareth Bale described winning the Champions League last night. The

:03:28.:03:30.

24-year-old from Cardiff scored his most important goal to help Real

:03:31.:03:33.

Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 4-1 in the final. The victory sparked these

:03:34.:03:41.

wild celebrations. He was one of the stars of the 2012

:03:42.:03:45.

Paralympic Games in London, and David Weir just keeps getting

:03:46.:03:48.

better. He's broken his own world record for the road mile in a

:03:49.:03:51.

wheelchair, crossing the line in three minutes seven seconds -just

:03:52.:03:54.

missing out on the three minute barrier. It all happened on the

:03:55.:03:57.

anniversary of the four-minute mile by a man called Roger Bannister.

:03:58.:04:01.

For those of you who are on half term holidays, did you rush out of

:04:02.:04:05.

school on your last day? Well for some school-goers in America, it was

:04:06.:04:08.

a bit tricky getting everyone out of the door. Pleasant Valley School has

:04:09.:04:12.

been sharing its courtyard with a family of ducks for the last two

:04:13.:04:15.

months, but now the ducklings have got older, they need help getting

:04:16.:04:18.

out. Teachers helped them from the courtyard to the hallway and out the

:04:19.:04:22.

door. The school librarian hopes they'll be ok. We hope they're OK.

:04:23.:04:29.

We hope they're going to be safe. We hope they get fed. We worry about

:04:30.:04:33.

them a little bit but we are excited to see them move on.

:04:34.:04:38.

Next to a feature you can find over on the Newsround website. It's our

:04:39.:04:44.

countdown of the weirdest clips of the week, so get ready to be amazed.

:04:45.:04:50.

First some road safety lessons from there. This cup is whisked to safety

:04:51.:04:55.

after straying onto a busy road in Canada.

:04:56.:05:03.

If you have a sweet tooth, this might be your dream come true. The

:05:04.:05:08.

walls are painted in this room with Swiss chocolate and visitors are

:05:09.:05:13.

allowed to touch and taste the chocolate paint. The strangest of

:05:14.:05:18.

them all this week has to be the hedge that has been turned into a

:05:19.:05:21.

dragon. John says he has spent 13 years

:05:22.:05:27.

sculpting the mystical creature. It is nearly 15 metres long and three

:05:28.:05:33.

metres high. I did not want to spend my life with a straight hedge.

:05:34.:05:42.

Also on the website, you can find out more about this unlikely couple

:05:43.:05:46.

- a fox and a hedgehog.The picture of the unlikely mealtime friends was

:05:47.:05:48.

captured by wildlife-watcher Jason Alexander who set up a webcam in his

:05:49.:05:52.

garden in Suffolk. Newsround's back tomorrow at 7.40 with Jenny. Bye

:05:53.:05:56.

from me.
