OK, first up today we're talking
about getting back to school.
If you live in Scotland,
you've been back a couple of weeks,
and millions of kids in England,
Wales and Northern Ireland
are going back in a staggered way
over the next few weeks.
Here's how these guys
were feeling about it.
I'm OK, I mean, the school has put
lots of things on the website,
like giving us a virtual tour
of the school, so I know
what I am expecting.
Being at home it has
been quite hard.
Being at school with obviously
staying two metres apart
and things like that,
it is definitely going to help.
It was a bit of a stretch waking up
early to go to school.
I've been feeling excited
to come back to school,
because we have been off
for so long.
I'm a bit nervous but I'm not
as nervous, because I'm doing
it with everyone else.
I do not mind online learning,
I just got sick of it.
I've been doing it for what,
three months, when we were out
and then another three months off
and we couldn't see anyone really.
It is a mixture of
emotions and stuff.
I feel really, really excited
but really nervous as well and just
really can't wait to get
in and start learning and stuff.
Really enjoyed it today.
What's changed is I've actually got
to know people very well
and I feel so much better.
No nerves, they have all gone.
And hundreds of you have been
having your say over
at the Newsround website.
Emily says...
And this Scottish
Newsrounder says...
Thank you so much for your comments,
please keep them coming in.
OK, let's have a look at what's
making the news online today.
Martin's here - what have you got?
Let's start with some very
exciting Strictly news.
Disappointingly, it doesn't involve
you or I.
Olympic boxing gold medallist
Nicola Adams has been announced
as the fourth celebrity
for this year's series.
She's making history because she's
going to be in the first
ever all-female pairing.
That's despite the fact she told
us she'd never do it!
Nicola, would you ever go
on Strictly Come Dancing?
Never, she would never
do it, why not?
It is not for me.
It is not for you?
Fair enough.
I think it is really important.
It is definitely a time for change.
It is definitely time to move
on and be more diverse
and this is a brilliant step
in the right direction.
I know it is going to be tough,
I know the training is going to be
hard and I cannot dance at all,
so this is going to be a totally
new challenge for me.
They have just made another
announcement with another contestant
to. It is not you.
And comedian Bill Bailey
has just been announced
as the latest Strictly celeb.
In other news, Dwayne Johnson -
The Rock - has told people they must
wear masks after he revealed
on social media that his whole
family has had coronavirus.
Plus, Prince Harry and Meghan have
signed a mega-deal with Netflix
to make and appear in programmes
on the streaming platform.
That's all from me but you can read
more about these stories
on the Newsround website.
Just before you go, I have to ask,
would you ever do Strictly?No, I
don't think so.
Thanks for that Martin -
well, here's what's coming up
for the rest of the programme.
We take a look at digital detox day.
And we check out Nasa's
latest moon rocket.
Next, when you're using social
media, do you ever feel
like taking a break?
Well, that's exactly what music
artist Jordan Stephens is trying
to get everyone to do.
He's helping to launch
Digital Detox Day.
Take a look.
September the 5th
is Digital Detox Day.
And the idea is that
if you are wanting to take part
in Digital Detox Day or inform
people that you're not going to be
on social media on September
the 5th, on September the 4th,
we want people to draw a circle
on the hand with the word,
"Off," in the middle of it.
What is it about social media that
makes us feel like we need to detox.
What is it about social media that
makes us feel like we need to detox?
You put up a picture, the likes,
that gives you a sense of rush.
And then gives you like
a merit-based reward system
which is really toxic,
so if you do not get as many
likes as someone else,
you end up feeling sad
or questioning yourself.
For any child who is watching right
now who now wants to set some
digital boundaries and wants to do
better, what sort of tips
and advice can you give them?
Engage in a hobby, like lock
in with a friend, read a book,
move your body, you know?
The more you move your body,
the less you are looking for reasons
to distract yourself,
but I really do strongly believe
that we can work with phones.
They do not have to control you.
Now you may be all heading back
to school right now,
but in the last months we've
all been experimenting with learning
and working from home.
Well, some children have decided
to take that experience to help kids
all around the world get
access to education.
They've created an app
where anyone can upload lessons
on all sorts of topics.
Take a look.
I am Jacob.
I am nine years old and and I am
Hope content director at Hope3G.com.
I'm Oscar.
I am 11 years old and I am
the sports content director.
I'm Dana.
I am 15 years old and I'm
the media director.
Hi, I am Louis, I am 16 and I am
the chair of the Hope board
of directors youth for Hope3G.com.
Hope3G.com is a free
platform to allow children
to learn as a birthright.
We are actually here to make
a change to education
in the whole world.
Firstly, our plan was to bring it
across to the third world,
but now with coronavirus...
It has been beneficial for everyone.
Any age, everyone has
the ability to learn.
All you have to do is go to Hope,
look up some content
you can be learning.
Personal data - this
is information about you...
The platform helps by allowing
teachers to take their lessons
and give it to the world to see.
Anyone that is on our platform
is able to see any teachers lessons.
We have so much educational content
being produced every day
here in our offices in Blackfriars.
We have maths, English, sciences.
We also have the St
Andrews Youth Club who are
the oldest club in the world
and they are doing a female boxing.
The thing I like most
about being a child director
is designing costumes and as well
the people sometimes.
The thing I've enjoyed most
about Hope is getting to know
the people and understand
what they are doing.
It is probably to boss
the adults around.
It is really fun because everyone
listens to you and
they want your ideas.
Learning with this is fun
for everyone worldwide.
It would be really good if teachers
upload videos to Hope3G.com.
One thing I learnt about from being
a child director is that
anything is possible.
You can do absolutely anything
if you put your mind to it.
I think children rule the world.
And check out this amazing
footage from Nasa.
This is the latest rocket
they are testing as part
of their plans to send astronauts
back to the moon by the end of 2024.
OK, that's it from me for now.
Have a great day!
