Hello, I'm Bex and welcome to the Week Junior show. Today, I'm joined by two of the team from

0:04.7

the week junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds. We've got writers

0:09.4

Eve and Kay. So, lots to cover in today's episode. We're going to be talking about the

0:13.7

Special Olympics World Winter Games, two astronauts who are back home after nine months in space,

0:18.5

and a story very close to my heart, an amazing

0:21.1

victory for Newcastle United. We'll also be having a big debate about whether peaceful

0:25.3

protesters should go to jail. So before all of that, we're going to be chatting about winter

0:29.8

sports very soon. And I was wondering, which winter sport do you wish you could be good at?

massive fan of dancing on ice, and I used to really love Torval and Dean and I used to have a DVD with their

dance routines on it that I used to watch. Sadly, I'm kind of, I'm not very good at ice skating.

1:16.2

I think Kay can actually attest to that. I've been ice skating with Kay before and I clutched onto the

1:20.2

side the whole time because I was so scared. So yeah, this is kind of a fantasy where I've got rid of the fear of ice skating and then suddenly

1:27.7

I'm an amazing ice skater.

1:30.2

And is it the belero that you're aiming to do the most? Would that be your...

1:32.9

Oh yeah, I'd love to wear that. You know the purple outfits they wore when they did that?
