0:00:06 > 0:00:07Welcome to Newsround everyone.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Leah here today with some of this:

0:00:09 > 0:00:12The new 12-sided ?1 coin.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14And my school's been taken over by baby chicks.

0:00:14 > 0:00:19This is Newsround.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31So, first, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, says he's doing

0:00:31 > 0:00:33everything he can to help thousands of steel workers

0:00:33 > 0:00:34who could lose their jobs.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38It's after the company - Tata Steel - said it wants to sell

0:00:38 > 0:00:41off its UK factories because they're not making money.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Ricky's been to Port Talbot in South Wales, home of Britain's

0:00:44 > 0:00:46biggest steelworks, to find out more.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50It's quite huge.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Big.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Yeah, big.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Is it steam or smoke?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Both.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Wherever you are in Port Talbot, it's not very hard to miss

0:01:01 > 0:01:05the steelworks.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07There they are behind me.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11You can see it from pretty much all over the town and kids have been

0:01:11 > 0:01:14telling me today that they would be pretty sad if it was to close.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Alfie and Lily your dad works at the steelworks,

0:01:16 > 0:01:18he has worked there for six years, hasn't he?

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Yes.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23What do you think would happen if it was to close?

0:01:23 > 0:01:28Well, I would miss seeing the ships going in and out.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31What is it like having a dad to works at the steel works,

0:01:31 > 0:01:32is it quite cool?

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Yes, it is cool.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37It is a really nice place to live you have the beach there and then

0:01:37 > 0:01:40you have the mountains, where I live, which is like my back

0:01:40 > 0:01:43garden, so it is nice to explore different types of sceneries.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45How a big deal is the steel works for this town?

0:01:45 > 0:01:48It is something major because there are so many jobs

0:01:48 > 0:01:51there and so many of my friend's parents work there and it means

0:01:51 > 0:01:54so much to them, if they keep their jobs.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58It is a really big deal.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I know loads of people, loads of neighbours and everything

0:02:01 > 0:02:02working in the area.

0:02:02 > 0:02:09It would affect them.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10They all have children.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13If it closes they will all be out of work.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15It it was to close would it be quite sad?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Yes, it would be quite bad for the country, the economy.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19People would lose jobs.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Could you imagine Port Talbot without the factory?

0:02:21 > 0:02:22No.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23I can't.

0:02:23 > 0:02:24No.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Definitely not.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Now, guys, you might be about to tuck into your tea soon.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33But do you know much about what's on your plate?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Well, some farmers went to one school in North London to help out

0:02:37 > 0:02:38kids there, including Tia.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Chickens.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Scarecrows.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42And a wooden cow.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Today we are finding out where our food comes from.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48This farm workshop has arrived at school to give us classes

0:02:48 > 0:02:49on planting fruit and veg.

0:02:49 > 0:02:55Discovering how to grow grain and what foods they are found in.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57We are finding out how chickens live and how to keep

0:02:57 > 0:02:59them happy, too.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01And a happy chicken equals a happy egg.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04All day my school has been taking part in workshops,

0:03:04 > 0:03:08where we have been learning more about what farmers do and what tools

0:03:08 > 0:03:13they use to produce food for us.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16You can even milk a cow.

0:03:17 > 0:03:23OK, it's a wooden one, but you get the idea.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26This all may look very a-moos-ing but there is serious

0:03:26 > 0:03:27learning going on.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30We have come here today to tell you what we do on our home

0:03:30 > 0:03:32farms in Wales.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35We are excited to be here to tell you how we produce food

0:03:35 > 0:03:37which you guys will hopefully eat.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39It is important you know where it comes from,

0:03:39 > 0:03:45because you need to understand what you are eating

0:03:45 > 0:03:48and you need to understand the health benefits it can give.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49There is loads to get stuck into.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52This little mill is used to grind grain to make flour.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55One of the workshops these guys are doing is learning how

0:03:55 > 0:03:57to build a scarecrow.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00That's really important for farmers because if birds come they get

0:04:00 > 0:04:04scared of the scarecrows and it protects their crops

0:04:04 > 0:04:14and all the food that they need to grow.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Although farming is not something I would want to do myself

0:04:20 > 0:04:24when I grow up, these workshops have definitely taught me about the food

0:04:24 > 0:04:26I eat and where it comes, from which I think is really

0:04:26 > 0:04:28important for all of us to appreciated.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30And any excuse to hold a baby chick is good for me,

0:04:34 > 0:04:34Thank

0:04:34 > 0:04:34Thank you

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Thank you Tia.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39All of our stories are online, including the new ?1 coin

0:04:39 > 0:04:42with 12 sides that will be in use next year.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44But you'd need nearly ?3 million of them for these -

0:04:44 > 0:04:45the world's most expensive trainers.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48They're gold and diamond-encrusted.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50But not your thing?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Well, how about finding out which bird was the MOST spotted

0:04:53 > 0:04:54in schools this year?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57That's all waiting online for you.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59But for now, that's all from Newsround, we're back tomorrow.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Bye.
