Episode 4 WHOOPS I MISSED NEWSROUND

Whoops I Missed Newsround.

Are you in need of a news-y top up?

Has September slipped your mind already?

Well, here is your chance to catch up on anything you've missed.

It's Whoops I Missed Newsround.

What is Mr News' news this time?

And we've got news from you lot.

My name is Suranne and this is my news.

And what on earth is this all about?

He's... the... strongest. He's... the... quickest.

He's... the... best.

First, let's take a look back

at a very sunny, sporty and shiny September.

Here's our very own Mr News - Andrew.

News! News! News!

Oi-oi! Mr News here.

I love news so much, you know what I had for breakfast this morning?

News-li.

So get ready, get set,

as we go through September's most super stories ever. Yay!

Too much?

It was a sparkling September - but not for Sam Allardyce -

as a new series of Strictly Come Dancing was officially launched.

Strictly is back!

It included all your favourite well-known celebrities,

like, um...

that...one who's...married to the footballer with the hair,

and that dude off the radio?

And at the star-studded launch,

it seemed like most of this year's contestants

knew exactly what to expect.

Dancing.

The sparkles weren't confined to the dance floor, either,

as the 2016 Paralympic Games got under way in Rio

with a breathtaking opening ceremony.

Wow! Did you see that?!

You've definitely got to win a gold for that.

What you mean, it's not an event?

Well, it jolly well should be!

And we shall call it Extreme Ramp!

Our British Paralympians dazzled the crowd,

finishing second in the medals table

in GB's best Paralympic performance in 28 years,

including golds in cycling, running,

and this one in the pool from Ollie Hynd.

No splashing.

I don't care if you've won a gold medal.

Pool rules clearly state there's to be no splashing in the pool.

Out you come.

It was an extra special Paralympic Games for cyclist Sarah Storey, too,

who won three gold medals, bringing her total to 14,

and making her the most successful British female Paralympian

of all time.

# More glory for Sarah Storey

# She's already won medals But now she's got more...y. #

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Back in the UK, things were hotting up, too.

Look at those oranges.

Er... It's not going to rain oranges.

But the sunshine couldn't stop Mo Farah,

who became the first man to win the Great North Run

three times in a row.

# Mo Farah He's faster than a wheelbarrow. #

What do you mean, stop?

Oh-ohh!

In the world of baking,

there were crying eyes and soggy bottoms aplenty

as it was announced that The Great British Bake Off

would be moving from BBC One to Channel 4.

Oh, Mel! Sue!

Mary! Paul!

Why? Why would you do this?

Mel, Sue and Mary quickly announced they wouldn't be moving to Channel 4

and would quit the show instead,

but Paul Hollywood will stay on.

Oh, Paul! Why would you?

Well, I can exclusively reveal exactly why

in an interview he did with Mr News.

Soggy bottoms.

Thank you. That wasn't the only change this month,

as a brand-new ?5 note came into circulation,

the first ever to be printed on a type of plastic called polymer.

Makes a lot of sense, actually, for it to be made out of plastic.

You can wash it, you can clean it, you can lick it.

Don't lick it.

Definitely don't lick it.

There were big celebrations in Cardiff later in the month

as Roald Dahl's birthplace threw a big party

to mark his 100th birthday.

And Roald Dahl's birthday wasn't the only thing worth celebrating.

Let's start this morning with some great nature news.

Yes, after decades of hard work from conservationists,

the number of giant pandas in the world has started to go up.

Hey, what's the scariest food for a panda to read?

Bam-BOO!

HE CHUCKLES

Well, he liked it.

And that was the month that was September.

What a super September!

And it looks like you guys thought so, too.

Yep, here's our junior journos

with their very own news of the month.

Team GB are doing very great in the Olympics this year.

Paralympics and Olympics.

We came second in the Olympics, which is so great,

and Andy Murray won gold in tennis.

Bye.

I went to the Community Shield, I stood on the pitch,

and I waved the flags.

It was really awesome. Thumbs up!

Hello, my name is Suranne and this is my news.

Once, I've done a video about dreams,

and it got 350,000 views!

And it got me on the newspaper. Woohoo!

Great reporting.

And if you see yourself as a budding journalist,

just record 15 seconds of yourself

talking about your favourite news moment of the month

and upload it to the Whoops web page.

Now, we love celebrating all things heroic on Newsround.

It's time to meet our...

Well, someone who trumped her rivals at the Rio Paralympics

is 15-year-old Ellie Robinson, who stormed to gold in the pool.

It was her first day back at school yesterday,

and she got a very special welcome.

To the world, she's a Paralympic champion,

but to her friends, she's just Ellie,

the same 15-year-old schoolmate with a lot to catch up on.

Oh, it's great, cos I've been waiting to see these guys for ages,

and it's so nice being back and talking to them.

We're not even talking about Rio, to be honest!

It's Ellie's first day back at school,

and the reaction was just a little bit noisy.

CHEERING

A special assembly to say well done

to the new Paralympic star of the pool

when they watched back her record-breaking race.

The look on Ellie's face suggests

she still can't quite believe it all happened.

It was really strange.

I remember I kept turning round and checking the scoreboard,

just in case I'd read it wrong,

cos I didn't want to be, like, "Yeah!"

and then, like, "Oh, no, I got silver."

Next this morning to an 11-year-old girl

who beat thousands of kids to get her short story written

in Jacqueline Wilson's new book.

What a prize!

Well, I'm delighted to have Emily on the sofa,

and also Jacqueline Wilson, too.

It's the first time you guys have met,

so, Emily, how are you feeling?

I'm amazed that I'm actually sitting next to Jacqueline Wilson right now.

That's so sweet. So sweet.

And tell us a little bit about the story you wrote.

Well, I went to see Hetty Feather, the musical,

and I wanted to involve that with the storyline,

so I decided that it would be about somebody

who used to be a trapeze artist,

and there'd be a unique twist at the end.

I read the twist. It's brilliant, isn't it?

I think she's done it so well.

I mean, I would have been proud to have written that story myself.

And, you know, I read the entries and they were all so good,

but yours, Emily, was way up here.

Well done, headline heroes.

Now we've almost wrapped up the month of September,

but there's just enough time to see what happened

when Newsround took on Danger Mouse.

Capes at the ready.

MUSIC: Danger Mouse Theme

He's... the... greatest. He's... fantastic.

Wherever... there... is... danger... He'll... be... there.

He's... the... ace.

He's... amazing.

He's... the... strongest. He's... the... quickest.

He's... the... best.

Danger... Mouse.

Danger... Mouse.

Danger... Mouse.

Wow!

We really have squeezed out all the best bits of this month

into one jam-packed episode of Whoops I Missed Newsround.

So until next time, this is Jenny signing off.

Bye.
