| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Bex, and welcome to The Week Junior Show. Today, I'm joined by two of the team from the week junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14-year-olds. |
| 0:09.3 | We've got writers Eve and Kay. So lots to cover in today's episode. We'll be talking about people around the world paying their respects to the Pope, the secret to a perfect bowling score, and some girls fighting for a change to their school uniform. |
| 0:22.0 | There's also going to be a big debate about whether Superman is the best superhero, and we'll |
| 0:26.0 | be hearing from a winner of this year's series of gladiators. All right, it's pretty busy, isn't it? |
| 0:30.4 | Now, speaking of school uniform, I was wondering, what is the one thing that you would love to |
| 0:35.4 | have changed about your school uniform when you were younger? |
| 0:38.0 | Now, my school uniform was pretty heavy. It was a big blue blazer and a big green and black |
| 0:43.7 | kilt. So I think I would have just maybe had a summer version of that. Perhaps take away the |
| 0:49.0 | blazer, maybe give myself a lovely light jacket, or perhaps just not have a kilt, have trousers, |
| 0:54.0 | or shorts or kolots, or maybe even not have a kilt, have trousers or shorts |
| 0:54.4 | or collots, or maybe even a jumpsuit. In fact, you know what now I'm thinking about it, |

| 1:03.0 | Eve, how about you? So I used to have a school near mine where everyone used to wear a hat, |
| 1:08.6 | and I always used to be quite jealous. It's kind of like a brown hat. |
| 1:11.9 | And it just looked really cool. And I was just thinking, maybe not a brown hat, but like a little |
| 1:15.4 | straw hat would be quite fun, I think, to wear. I just think it has nice vibes for a school uniform. |
| 1:20.2 | I love that it. It reminds me of, I think it's Madeline, which is... Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it reminds me of that and it just looks beautiful. So yeah, big fan. Kay, how about you? |
| 1:28.3 | So when I was in year 10, we were allowed to wear our own bags to school. |
| 1:33.5 | Before that, we had these horrible ones with the school logo on. |
| 1:37.1 | But the rule was that they had to be black. |
| 1:39.5 | So I used to spend ages looking for a black bag and then just realise that all black bags are |
