Morning guys, Ricky here

with Monday's big stories.

Coming up...

An airbed with a bit

of a difference!

And the school kids

running their own bank.

First up, we're heading to the US,

where singers and bands have

been partying all night

after the Grammys.

The awards celebrate the best songs

and albums of the year.

Sam Smith and Miley Cyrus just some

of the stars on the red carpet.

Bruno Mars picked up six awards,

including Best Album

and Song Of The Year

for That's What I Like.

Ed Sheeran picked up two awards,

for Best Pop Vocal Album.

His huge smash Shape Of You bagged

him Best Pop Solo Performance.

Ed, who recently got engaged,

wasn't at The Grammy's

to pick up his awards.

OK, lets have a quick look

at the sports stories this morning.

Yesterday afternoon

was all about the FA Cup.

Manchester City were at their best

as this brilliant free-kick

from Kevin de Bruyne put City

in front in their FA Cup

fourth round victory over

Championship side Cardiff.

A rare headed goal from

Raheem Sterling made it 2-0.

City are still in the running to win

all four competitions

they're in this season.

Chelsea got smoothly

into round five, as well.

Two goals from Belgian striker

Michy Batshuayi helped them beat

Premier League strugglers Newcastle

3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Marcos Alonso completed the scoring

with a late free-kick.

And when you think of snow,

you think snowboards and skis -

but what about bikes?

Well, these riders have been

showing off their stuff

at the X Games in Aspen in the US.

The snow bikes work like motorbikes

but use a tank-style

track instead of tyres.

Nest up, you might have

heard people say money

doesn't grow on trees,

but what about inventing your own

money, and a bank to store it in?

Well, that's what these

kids have done...

This school not only

has its own bank, but it's the kids

who are in charge of running it.

I love the bank,

it's my favourite job.

Yeah, me too.

Every lunchtime, their job

is to put their classmates'

money into the bank.

But it's not normal

money, like pounds.

It's a special currency they've

invented called kirts,

which the students earn for doing

well in the classroom.

I'm Lily and I'm the bank manager.

I need to look after everyone's

money and make sure nothing

goes wrong with it.

Every lunchtime, the class can spend

the kirts they've saved up

in the school shop.

My name's Taylor, and I'm

the assistant bank manager.

I have to supervise all the cashiers

and make sure nobody's misbehaving.

When we first started the project,

we were asking children

where they think money comes

from and they just think it

comes from a cashpoint,

which is why we introduced the idea

of, you need to work for your money

and you need to earn it,

and then you're rewarded.

So by doing well in class,

you can get the kirts, save up,

and buy all this cool stuff.

Wow!

Maybe I'll start behaving

myself for once!

Look at that teddy!

How cute is that?!

I called him Tom!

If you're eating your breakfast

whilst watching this morning,

you might want to put your toast

down for a bit - seriously.

This week's Big Question

is all about sick -

yeah, you heard me.

So, the Big Question this week is...

"Why does sick smell?"

Well, Zaynab, that's

quite a question!

Vomit smells because it has

something called butyric acid in it.

That's bew-ter-ric.

This is an acid made in your gut

to help you digest food.

But when it isn't there,

it smells really, really bad.

If you wondered why humans

are so good at picking

this smell out, well,

it's really, really bad.

I mean, really strong.

Humans have learned that the smell

means you probably don't

want to touch or eat the thing that

makes the smell.

The smell makes humans stay safe.

We went to find out how

bad it really smells.

Here's a nice lunch.

Here it is after you've

eaten it - sort of.

How does it smell?

Well, sort of like all that

food blended up, really.

Now, let's add some butyric acid

to it and see what it's

like when it's gone into your

stomach and, er, it comes back up.

Oh, wow, that's awful!

So the reason why your vomit smells

really, really bad is because it's

got something called butyric acid

added to it by your body

when it digests it.

And don't forget if you want

a chance to get your Big Question

answered by Newsround,

head over to the website

and send it in.

And finally, take a look

at the piece of kit that could be

a massive help for Great Britain's

skiers and snowboarders

at the Winter Olympics,

which start early next month.

It's a giant airbag that sits

on the landing of a jump.

At 60 metres long and 23 metres

wide, it allows athletes to try

all manner of tricks,

spinning in different directions,

without any real danger

of missing the landing.

It allows Great Britain's athletes

to practice tricks that

will help them to compete

on the world stage.

That's it from me for this morning,

Martin is back at 4.20pm.

of Lego as it turns 60!
