:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, and welcome. You're live with Nel this Wednesday for Newsround,
:00:07. > :00:10.where we'll tell you why Becks is planning to get back into football
:00:11. > :00:20.and show you your craziest pumpkin creations.
:00:21. > :00:23.Let's start with the story that s got you all talking. The debate over
:00:24. > :00:27.whether you should be allowed to miss school to go on holiday. It's
:00:28. > :00:30.been prompted by more than 125, 00 signing a petition against new rules
:00:31. > :00:35.that mean kids in England can't take time off in term time, like you
:00:36. > :00:45.might have done in the past. Lots of you have been in touch about it
:00:46. > :00:50.Here's Ricky with more. Packing for holidays is exciting, but should you
:00:51. > :00:55.be allowed to go on holiday whenever you want, even during school time.
:00:56. > :01:00.Some of you think it is OK. I think you should be allowed to go on
:01:01. > :01:03.holiday in school time. Some children's parents can't take time
:01:04. > :01:08.off. Head teachers of schools were allowed to give you up to ten days
:01:09. > :01:11.off school, during term time, without too much fuss. Now the
:01:12. > :01:15.Government's changed the rules to say you can only go away in
:01:16. > :01:20.exceptional circumstance, with fines for your parents if you take too
:01:21. > :01:25.much time off school. So is that fair? I don't think children should
:01:26. > :01:31.be able to go on holiday during term time. They might miss lessons. You
:01:32. > :01:35.shouldn't be missing days off school chen term has started. Thousands of
:01:36. > :01:42.parents have signed a petition to get the rules changed back, they say
:01:43. > :01:46.is is more expensive to go way during school holiday week, there is
:01:47. > :01:49.research a family summer holiday in August costs double the amount paid
:01:50. > :01:54.by a family going on the same holiday a month later in September.
:01:55. > :01:59.Loads of you have been in touch and you are split on the issue.
:02:00. > :02:02.The Department for Education's confirmed that time off shouldn t be
:02:03. > :02:06.given for family holiday, but they say they are giving schools in
:02:07. > :02:10.England more freedom to set their own term dates and they hope that
:02:11. > :02:13.could mange a big difference. In other news, one of the rarest relics
:02:14. > :02:15.of Roman history's been found perfectly preserved under a building
:02:16. > :02:17.site in London. Experts are rather excited about
:02:18. > :02:22.this ancient statue of an eagle with Experts are rather excited about
:02:23. > :02:29.be almost 2,000-years-old and was discovered when work started on a
:02:30. > :02:33.new hotel. And David Beckham's set for a return
:02:34. > :02:37.to footy - not as a player though, as an owner. The retired England
:02:38. > :02:42.star's due to set up and run his own team in the MLS in America. It won't
:02:43. > :02:46.be in LA where he played, but in Miami. It could set him back $2
:02:47. > :02:49.million. Next, the countdown to the Winter
:02:50. > :02:53.Olympics is on, with today marking 100 days until the opening ceremony
:02:54. > :02:56.in Russia. Team GB haven't traditionally done well at the
:02:57. > :02:59.games, but this time there's a new breed of medal hopefuls, led by one
:03:00. > :03:01.of our coolest athletes, James Woods, and Ayshah's been to meet
:03:02. > :03:18.him. My name is Woodsy, I am 20 and my
:03:19. > :03:26.sport is freestyle skiing slope-style.
:03:27. > :03:31.I run in a competition, it would be a mixed match of jumps and features
:03:32. > :03:34.like rails, what you associate with skateboarding.
:03:35. > :03:41.How did you get into slope-style. None of my family skied or anything,
:03:42. > :03:46.I was near the skate park, and I sort of happen on it. Do one thing,
:03:47. > :03:51.opens doors and carries on, I can't believe I am here. How much you
:03:52. > :03:55.looking forward to Sochi? It is the first time in the Olympics in Sochi,
:03:56. > :03:59.so that is pretty cool, it is exciting. The main thing is just

:04:05. > :04:11.everyone enjoying it, and challenging yourself to be better.
:04:12. > :04:15.It is very difficult to call it training. Very difficult because I
:04:16. > :04:18.love it so much. I would love to go to Sochi, o do my best and come away
:04:19. > :04:27.on top, that would be wonderful to kids who wants to get involved?
:04:28. > :04:31.There is so many facility, we are so lucky, even

:04:34. > :04:39.slope, the indoor dome, there is o much going on, there is so much
:04:40. > :04:44.opportunity. Thanks Ayshah. We're almost out of
