Welcome to Newsround everyone.

Leah here today with some of this:

The new 12-sided ?1 coin.

And my school's been taken over by baby chicks.

This is Newsround.

So, first, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, says he's doing

everything he can to help thousands of steel workers

who could lose their jobs.

It's after the company - Tata Steel - said it wants to sell

off its UK factories because they're not making money.

Ricky's been to Port Talbot in South Wales, home of Britain's

biggest steelworks, to find out more.

It's quite huge.

Big.

Yeah, big.

Is it steam or smoke?

Both.

Wherever you are in Port Talbot, it's not very hard to miss

the steelworks.

There they are behind me.

You can see it from pretty much all over the town and kids have been

telling me today that they would be pretty sad if it was to close.

Alfie and Lily your dad works at the steelworks,

he has worked there for six years, hasn't he?

Yes.

What do you think would happen if it was to close?

Well, I would miss seeing the ships going in and out.

What is it like having a dad to works at the steel works,

is it quite cool?

Yes, it is cool.

It is a really nice place to live you have the beach there and then

you have the mountains, where I live, which is like my back

garden, so it is nice to explore different types of sceneries.

How a big deal is the steel works for this town?

It is something major because there are so many jobs

there and so many of my friend's parents work there and it means

so much to them, if they keep their jobs.

It is a really big deal.

I know loads of people, loads of neighbours and everything

working in the area.

It would affect them.

They all have children.

If it closes they will all be out of work.

It it was to close would it be quite sad?

Yes, it would be quite bad for the country, the economy.

People would lose jobs.

Could you imagine Port Talbot without the factory?

No.

I can't.

No.

Definitely not.

Now, guys, you might be about to tuck into your tea soon.

But do you know much about what's on your plate?

Well, some farmers went to one school in North London to help out

kids there, including Tia.

Chickens.

Scarecrows.

And a wooden cow.

Today we are finding out where our food comes from.

This farm workshop has arrived at school to give us classes

on planting fruit and veg.

Discovering how to grow grain and what foods they are found in.

We are finding out how chickens live and how to keep

them happy, too.

And a happy chicken equals a happy egg.

All day my school has been taking part in workshops,

where we have been learning more about what farmers do and what tools

they use to produce food for us.

You can even milk a cow.

OK, it's a wooden one, but you get the idea.

This all may look very a-moos-ing but there is serious

learning going on.

We have come here today to tell you what we do on our home

farms in Wales.

We are excited to be here to tell you how we produce food

which you guys will hopefully eat.

It is important you know where it comes from,

because you need to understand what you are eating

and you need to understand the health benefits it can give.

There is loads to get stuck into.

This little mill is used to grind grain to make flour.

One of the workshops these guys are doing is learning how

to build a scarecrow.

That's really important for farmers because if birds come they get

scared of the scarecrows and it protects their crops

and all the food that they need to grow.

Although farming is not something I would want to do myself

when I grow up, these workshops have definitely taught me about the food

I eat and where it comes, from which I think is really

important for all of us to appreciated.

And any excuse to hold a baby chick is good for me,

Thank

Thank you

Thank you Tia.

All of our stories are online, including the new ?1 coin

with 12 sides that will be in use next year.

But you'd need nearly ?3 million of them for these -

the world's most expensive trainers.

They're gold and diamond-encrusted.

But not your thing?

Well, how about finding out which bird was the MOST spotted

in schools this year?

That's all waiting online for you.

But for now, that's all from Newsround, we're back tomorrow.

Bye.
