:00:11.:00:20.

Let's start with the story that s got you all talking. The debate over

:00:21.:00:23.

whether you should be allowed to miss school to go on holiday. It's

:00:24.:00:27.

been prompted by more than 125, 00 signing a petition against new rules

:00:28.:00:30.

that mean kids in England can't take time off in term time, like you

:00:31.:00:35.

might have done in the past. Lots of you have been in touch about it
