Welcome to The Week Junior Show.
I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Joe and Eve from The Week Junior, the magazine making sense of the world for 8 to 14 year olds.
Now, in a week where the Met Office announced the UK had recorded its warmest summer and South Korea announced a mobile phone ban in schools, we're going to be discussing some of the other stories that feature in the latest issue of this week's magazine.
So make sure you're listening closely because at the end of the episode, we'll be asking a question about what you've heard and if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize.
But before we begin, there's something I want to talk to you both about later in this episode.
We'll be talking about a 34-year-old time capsule that was recently opened.
And it got me thinking.
If you were to make a time capsule for people to open in the future, what would you put in there?
Eve, go on, what would you pop in there?
Well, I was just thinking, what would be a good thing to represent the year 2025?
And what's been popping off in the year 2025?
And I'm thinking I would put in the album of the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, because that film has you know, it's the most watched film on Netflix of all time.
I personally have watched it twice.
I love it.
The songs are amazing.
I've got it in my head all the time and I just think it perfectly encapsulates the year of 2025.
I mean, we were talking recently about how much you love that film.
I still haven't seen it, but I do have the song Golden in my head quite a lot.
Joe had his head in his hands as you were saying that.
Joe, not a fan still?
No, it's becoming a bit of a kind of running gag in the office.
I feel like, one by one, everyone who works at the Week Junior is kind of falling victim to this film and loving it.
And I'm kind of the only one that's seen it and isn't a huge fan, like the last one standing.
Yeah, so I'm sort of starting to despair a little bit, but you know.
There you go.
Not my thing.
Not my thing, I guess.
So you wouldn't put that in the time capsule.
What would you put in the time capsule?
So I would put in some newspapers so people could see what was going on at the time, going on now.
They could read about Taylor Swift's engagement or see the latest football scores.
And of course, no coverage of current affairs would be complete without The Week Junior.
So I'd put a couple of copies of our magazine in there too.
Actually, and at my dad's house... is a newspaper that my parents bought the day I was born.
It's really faded now, of course, and quite brown, but it's really cool.
I think Paul Gascoigne was moving to Latvia or something at the time, which gives away my age.
That's a good idea.
I mean, newspapers are the classic thing to put in time capsules.
I was trying to think of technology because that's kind of defining us as well.
And I'd put in a smartphone, maybe with a charger as well, because I think it would run out of charge if we were to leave it for a few years.
But yeah, the idea that, like smartphones have progressed so much since you know, say 34 years ago, since this time capsule was made.
What will they be like in the future?
What will they look like?
What will they do for you?
So I think I'd pop in, not my phone, obviously, but someone else's or I could buy one.
I
I need my phone.
But I think that's what I would do.
But this is a really interesting one.
Or maybe you're listening at home, thinking you know exactly what you put into a time capsule, perhaps some sweets or a picture of your family, whatever it would be.
Email us, hello at theweekjunior.co.uk or leave a voice note at funkidslive.com slash theweekjunior.
All you've got to do is grab a grown-up, look for the big red button and record your voice.
And if your voice note is played next week, you could win a Week Junior roving reporter badge.
Now, last week, we asked what everyone's favourite animated musical film is.
I'm very excited for the answers on this one.
We've got a voice note here from Jevi.
Hello, The Week Junior.
My name is Jevi and I am eight years old.
My favourite movie animated movie is Moana 2, because I may have watch Moana 1, but I really enjoyed it, especially because I'm not a movie lover and I'm looking forward to the next movie from Moana.
I feel like we're getting an exclusive there, that there's going to be a third Moana movie.
I don't know whether there is one, but I mean I hope so, I hope so now.
Uh great, shout out there okay.
So Moana big fan there.
Uh, we've also got a voice note from Georgie.
Hi, my name's Georgie.
My favourite animated movie?
Well, it's not really a movie.
It's episodes and it's called Bluey and I think I love it because there's so many fun parts and funny parts that I'm like I'm like it's just super funny.
A glowing endorsement from Georgie for Bluey there.
Thank you so much for sending in your voice notes.
Now, if you want to send in one this week, we want to hear what you would put in a time capsule.
So send us a voice note at funkidslive.com slash theweekjunior.
Now, let's turn our attention to the magazine, shall we?
Because I want to know what's been in the headlines this week.
Eve, what do you have for me?
So my story this week is actually our cover story on this week's copy of the magazine.
And it's about how, on the 29th of August, the government announced that a free chickenpox vaccine programme is going to start in England, Wales and Northern Ireland next year.
So a vaccine is a type of medicine that trains the body to fight a disease using its own defences.
And if any of our listeners haven't had chickenpox and don't really know what it is, it's a common infection that spreads easily, mostly among children.
And it causes an itchy and spotty rash on the body, a high temperature, aches and pains and a loss of appetite.
And people who get infected usually recover after one or two weeks, but for some people it can be a bit more serious and they might need to go to hospital.
And at the moment there is a vaccine available for free on the NHS, but only for people who are regularly in close contact with other people who are at high risk of getting very ill if they catch the disease.
And people can also pay to get vaccinated against it as well.
But this free chickenpox vaccine programme will start in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from January next year.
And Scotland is expected to introduce it at a later date as well.
And the government said that vaccinating against chickenpox will protect children and also reduce the amount of sick days that people take.
And so the vaccine is going to be offered to children as part of their routine vaccine schedule when they visit their local GP doctor.
And it will be a combined vaccine called MMRV, which will protect against measles mumps, rubella and varicella, which is the medical name for chickenpox, which I actually didn't know until I wrote this story.
And it will be given in two doses, so once when babies are 12 months old and then again when they are 18 months old.
And there'll be a catch-up campaign for older children as well to get the vaccine if they've missed out on getting it as a baby or if they haven't had chickenpox yet.
And the NHS recommends that most children should receive certain vaccines, but parents and carers are free to choose whether or not to follow this advice.
And the UK isn't actually the first country to do this.
It's already a routine vaccine given in Germany, Australia, Canada and the US.
And if you want to read more about the story, you can go to page six of the magazine.
Thank you very much, Eve.
Lots of stuff I didn't know there.
So that's good to know.
Thank you.
Jo, what's another story that you've seen in the news this week?
So it's a story from our amazing week four section, and it's about a time capsule that was put together by two children with the help of Diana, Princess of Wales.
It was buried at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London in 1991 and was meant to be opened in hundreds of years, but it was recently dug up to make way for a new children's cancer centre.
Now, there was lots of stuff inside the box, including a Kylie Minogue CD, a solar-powered calculator, a passport and a collection of coins.
For anyone who doesn't know, Kylie Minogue was an Australian singer who was very big in the 90s and early noughties.
I'm going to put it out there.
I think Kylie Minogue is still big right now.
I think she's still pumping out some big hits.
All right, I stand corrected.
Look, if you gave me a Kylie Minogue CD or bit of music as we speak, I'd be very, very happy about that.
I love the idea of a time capsule.
I think that's so cool.
But also really weird that it had to be opened so soon compared to when it was meant to be opened.
But yeah, a great story.
Thanks, Jo.
Now, moving on, it's time for my favourite part of the show.
This is Real or Rubbish, where I get told a story.
I have to guess if it's fact or fake news.
And the person tricking me this week is Joe.
So go on, Joe, tell me a story.
It's about a man in Canada who kept having dreams about finding treasure in a local landfill site.
First, he ignored them.
But when he had the dream for a third time, he asked for permission to search through the household waste.
Asked for permission from the authorities.
He was astounded when he found a wedding ring and an engagement ring buried among the rubbish.
But Bex, is this true or a pile of rubbish?
Well, I've used the word rubbish twice, but there you go.
I mean, I want this to be true because what an incredible story that would be.
I mean just the idea that somebody could dream about treasure and then find it makes me think he must be some kind of magical man.
Yeah.
Do we know whether the rings belong to him or other people?
Or were they anyone's in particular?
I don't think they belong to anyone in particular, which does make it all the more curious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, strange things have happened.
You kind of hear about this stuff a lot.
People have visions or dreams, and the mind works in mysterious ways, whether you believe in something spiritual or not,
The fact it took him three dreams, though.
Somebody somewhere.
If this is real, something was really in his head to make him think you know what?
I've got to go and check this out.
Also, it's weird.
How do you get permission from the authorities?
You say, hi, I've had a dream.
Please believe me.
Let me come and dig in some rubbish.
What do you do with that?
Yeah, I don't know.
That's an odd one, isn't it?
I don't know.
Can you go to household waste sites and start walking around?
Maybe.
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure what the rules are.
To me, it doesn't seem that threatening.
It's just a mound of rubbish, isn't it?
And you can kind of just... It's kind of a bit gross, but it's like at your own risk, you know?
If you want to touch rotten banana skins and things, go for it.
It was clearly worth it for him because he found the rings amongst it.
So, yeah.
I'm glad you had rotten banana skins in your head as well, because my image of what is in a rubbish tip is very much inspired by the Beano, basically.
It's like...
I feel like we might be on the same page there, Jo.
I want that to be true, but then I worry sometimes if you're tricking me.
Maybe he'd accidentally thrown a ring in the rubbish and he knew exactly where it was to find it, and there was no dream involved at all.
I don't know.
I never trust anything that you guys say at this point.
So while I think about today's real or rubbish, it's time to talk about our book of the week.
And this week it's the Week Junior Guide to the Environment by environment expert Dr Sai Pathmanathan.
Now.
It explains key facts about climate change, pollution and other problems that affect our environment, and it also explains ways that we can help.
There's loads of facts inside, and editorial assistant Elena is here with a little quiz on some of the information in it.
Go on, Elena.
Hello, how you doing?
Hi Bex, I'm stepping out of my over to you realm for this.
I'm so excited.
Yes, we've put together three questions based on some of the things that you can learn in the week junior guide to the environment.
I'll be asking a question giving you three options, and then you can tell me what you think.
We'll go straight into the answer.
Are you ready?
Go for it.
Okay.
Our first question is, which form of transport is the most environmentally friendly?
A, car, B, bus, and C, train.
What do you think?
Right.
I think train.
I think train is the one that people are encouraged to go on the most.
I'm going to say train is the most environmentally friendly.
Should we do a rum roll?
Yeah.
And you are correct.
The train is the most environmentally friendly mode of transport out of the three.
Trains actually emit only around 41 grams of carbon emissions per kilometer traveled, compared to 171 grams by car and 104 grams by bus.
So there's actually a big difference there.
So everyone get on the trains.
Amazing.
On to our second question.
Are you ready, Bex?
Go for it.
Yes, please.
I think you're going to know this one.
What is fast fashion?
A, aerodynamic clothes, especially made for athletes to run in.
B, trendy clothes that are produced on a massive scale quickly and cheaply.
C, fashionable clothes that sell out soon after they go on sale.
What do you think, Bex?
I think this is B.
I think it's clothes that are made quite cheaply.
Uh, so i'm gonna go b for this one.
Okay, the answer is b.
Indeed, fast fashion are trendy clothes that are produced on a massive scale, quickly and cheaply.
Manufacturing fast fashion is really bad for the environment, and research has shown that three out of five fast fashion items end up in landfill within a year, which is just such a crazy stat to me.
So you know something more.
And now are you ready for our third question?
Yes, please.
I love this quiz.
Keep going.
I think readers are going to really like this one.
How much poo does the average adult produce in one year?
A, 9 kilograms.
B, 91 kilograms.
C, 901 kilograms.
Okay.
I've entirely forgotten how heavy and big a kilogram is.
And whatever I say, I fear will be woefully incorrect.
But then what you put in your body comes out of your body.
I'm going to go B, 91, I suppose.
So you're going with a safe one there?
Yeah, I think so.
I'm going to go in the middle option.
Yeah.
Okay.
Last drum roll.
You were right.
30 out of 3, Bex.
You're really well-versed in the environment.
Yes, the answer is B, it's 91 kilograms.
And actually, that's the same weight as an adult male kangaroo.
Insane, though.
Insane.
I would be.
I learned a lot making this quiz too, but I would actually be interested to know how much poo the average week junior reader produces.
Talking about adults...
But what about 10-year-olds?
This is the real question.
Anyway, if you want to learn more facts like this, The Week Junior Guide to the Environment is the perfect read.
If you'd like a chance to win a copy, stay with us until the end of the show to find out how you can enter a prize draw.
Thanks, Elena.
I wish more things were measured in kangaroos.
Excellent work.
Thank you so much.
Now it's time to join Rahul, who's this week's guest editor.
Hello, Rahul.
Welcome to the show.
What would you like to share with us this week?
Hi, Bex.
Thanks for having me.
It's been a little while.
I'd like to talk about the wellbeing page in this week's issue.
So for lots of our listeners and readers, it's back to school time after a long summer break.
It's a time of shiny new shoes and fresh stationery and pencil cases and seeing your mates after a long break.
All of that's really exciting, but it's also normal to feel a bit wobbly and a bit nervous.
And this week's wellbeing page is about giving yourself time to settle in and settle into the new school year.
You might have a new teacher, you might have been in a new school.
And the wellbeing page talks about staying positive, giving yourself time and eventually you'll find your feet.
So it outlines that it's normal to struggle with new things.
That's actually just um a result of your brain getting used to new things.
But gradually your brain gets used to things and things settle down and you find your feet.
So the page has got some uh top tips and a couple of exercises to help you along the way, but the um overall message is stay positive and give yourself a chance really good advice.
I had to move schools quite a lot when i was a kid um, And at first I was always really upset about it.
And then I realized, like you know, everybody's in the same boat, especially if you're all starting a new secondary school.
Everybody's doing it new together.
So you're not on your own, I think, as well.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think in last week's issue actually we had an interview with a head teacher who talked about you know, teachers getting nervous too.
And she talked about how.
Teachers often have bad dreams about going to the new school year and pitching up at the wrong school or waking up late, which I felt yeah, that was really interesting to see.
It just goes to show exactly as you say, Bex.
Teachers, pupils, you know, we're all in the same boat.
It's something new and you've got to give yourself time to get used to it.
It's normal to feel a bit anxious and a bit wobbly about stuff.
Like you said, Bex, it's great life advice in general.
When you're doing new things, it just takes a bit of time.
So don't put too much pressure on yourself. pressure on yourself and you'll get there absolutely and also um if anybody did get a new pencil case congratulations that was always a big deal for me as well starting school absolutely that fresh new rubber oh yes please it was incredible you used to get a new pencil case and it was just the best thing um brilliant so we can check out all of those tips in this week's issue right Rahul absolutely check out this week's issue and in fact the last few issues of the week junior for quite a few weeks we've been carrying lots of um of articles about uh adjusting to the new school year there's also in this week's issue a um article about building yourself a morning routine and getting yourself getting yourself started uh for the day in a good way so check it out Now it's time for this week's big debate.
And the question is, should good grades get rewards?
Eve and Joe will go head to head, take a side each on this argument.
But before we hear from them, here's some information you need to know.
Across the UK, children are now back at school after the summer holidays.
Lots of students are beginning to study for their GCSEs, their SATs, their 11 plus or coursework that will count towards final grades.
Some parents and caregivers might have promised students a reward if they get certain grades, as a way of giving them extra motivation to work hard.
Rewards are sometimes money, but can also be things like gifts or trips away.
And experts say the effectiveness of rewards varies depending on the student.
Some people think it's hard work that should be recognized, not the end result.
So should good grades get rewards?
Eve is team yes.
Joe is team no.
Each of them have 60 seconds to make their case.
Then I'll make my mind up on which side I agree with more.
So Eve is going to go first.
Who thinks good grades should get rewards?
Let me get my timer up here, Eve, so we can get the little alarm up.
Here we go.
Whenever you're ready, take it away.
OK, so firstly, I think a reward is a nice bit of extra motivation for a student to try and get good grades.
And I just, you know, is there any harm in that?
I don't really think so.
It's always really nice to receive a reward or a little treat.
And I just think it's a nice way to celebrate someone's good work and make them feel really positive about the hard work that they've done.
But also for lots of students, the reward is kind of just a nice perk.
They would have worked really hard anyway, whether they were going to receive a reward or not.
And then getting a little extra something is just oh, that's a nice bonus.
But it also might encourage young people to really value the relationship between work and being rewarded.
You know, adults get paid a salary when they work at their jobs.
So children receiving a reward for doing hard work is just like that and kind of prepares them for that mentally for when they're older.
So yeah, I think it's okay.
Excellent stuff.
Thank you, Eve.
Eve is pro rewards.
Joe, not too short.
So Joe, whenever you're ready, tell us why.
Yeah, so...
Giving gifts of money to children for getting good grades good grades specifically arguably rewards the wrong thing.
So sometimes a child will work hard but still not get the grades they want, and they deserve to have their efforts recognised too.
Manny Botwee, a secondary school head teacher, told BBC News it's important children don't feel their value is directly related to the grades they get.
And look, kids should be taught to actually enjoy learning, not see it simply as this arduous process that ends with them receiving a reward.
That ends with them receiving a reward.
It's the journey that counts, not the end goal.
And besides, rewarding children could lead to disagreements between friends, because not everyone will have been promised something by their parents or caregivers, so you could argue it's unfair.
Oh, interesting point.
I hadn't thought about the, the problem between friends.
Um, I was trying to think back to when I was doing stuff at school and I thought no no, no.
The reward was the grade in itself.
And then I realized, yeah, the reward was also the rewards my mum and dad gave me afterwards.
I think I got given some little treats here and there.
So I don't...
I can't really comment on this one, because I think I probably was given a few extra motivations, shall we say.
But luckily, it's not about my opinion on this.
It's about what our readers and listeners think.

Grab a grown-up and record your voice.
Then your message could be in next week's episode.
Now, last week's big debate was about whether it's okay to sell skincare products to children.
Shall we find out what the Week Junior listeners and readers voted?
Yeah, so the results are in and 58 of our readers said yes.
It is okay for younger people to use skincare products, as long as they're safe.
Okay, that's a more even split than I expected actually.
We also had an audio message here from Elliot.
Hi Virginia, my name's Elliot and I think skincare should be allowed for young people, because my sister uses it and no reactions or rashes come up on her skin.
Elliot using his sister as a bit of a guinea pig there, excellent work.
We also had another one here from Lila, the week junior.
My name is Lila and I'm nine years old.
I'm here to answer your question for the debate.
Is it okay for young kids to have skincare?
Um, I don't think it's okay unless it's sunscreen and like creams.
If your skin is dry because um if, because young kids skin is more delicate, so if you put more grown-up products on it it could wreck your skin Bye.
I just wanted to say that I love the show.
Thank you so much, Lila.
Oh my goodness, Lila and Elliot, we are big fans of yours.
Thank you for sending in those voice notes.

Now we've heard about some opinions from the big debate, but let's hear some messages about what everybody's been up to recently.
Elena's been looking through the inbox.
What have you got for us today, Elena?
Hello again.
Finn, Ethan and Jacob messaged us to tell us about a very special tree they visited.
They said we spotted the European Tree of the Year story in the Around the World section back in March and realized that this year's winner, the heart of the Dalkowski Hills, is close to our grandparents' home in Poland.
So we took a little trip to see it and it was truly amazing.
They sent us a picture at the foot of the tree and let me tell you, it looks huge.
I did a little research on this tree and it's truly amazing.
The heart of the Dalkowski Hills is a 300-year-old beach in the west of Poland, and it was actually the fourth year in a row that a tree from Poland won the contest.
So thank you so much, Finn, Ethan, and Jacob for letting us know about it.
I didn't remember this from the Around the World section.
We also had a message from Huxley, who sent us a message that I really liked.
He said, "'This summer, I tried doing a screen-free summer.'
That meant no TV, game consoles, or iPads.
At first, I was a bit worried that I would be bored, but it has actually been the best thing ever.
I have had so much fun playing with my brother outside, loads more, and being creative.
I've also loved reading my week junior each week.
It has really helped me not to feel bored.
Well, first of all, I'm so glad that the week junior helped you not feel bored.
I love this so much.
And I realized I...
I would have never thought of doing a screen-free summer, but it sounds like it went amazingly.
And I was wondering, Eve, Joe, do you think you could do this?
No, no way.
I mean, yeah, I'm not sure.
How would I watch K-pop Demon Hunters if I don't have access to a screen?
Oh, please, God, stop.
You've got it memorised.
Yeah.
My little soda pop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got it memorised.
I might just quit this podcast recording.
Oh, my God.
But yeah, no, seriously, I don't think I could do a screen-free summer.
I feel like it's quite bad, isn't it?
It feels like modern society.
I can't rely without my phone.
But where I live, I just use it for maps.
I use it for everything.
It's so handy, you know?
You're both so negative about it.
I mean putting work aside because we're on screens for eight hours a day think i would really benefit from this, and i maybe not like an entire summer, but i think i could definitely do a couple of weeks and i would come out of it really happy.
But maybe that's just me anyway.
Thank you so much everyone.
Thank you for sending us your messages.
We love hearing what you've been up to, so send us an email or a voice note telling us what you've been doing and if it's well, if the voice note is played on the episode, you could win a roving reporter badge.
Thank you so much.
Uh, over to you, bex.
Thanks, Elena.
Now it's time to turn our attention back to the magazine this week and the team's favourite stories.
Joe, who has been your Hero of the Week, please?
So my Hero of the Week is Dr Matt Curtin, who works for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
He's part of a team that travels by helicopter to people who are sick and injured.
They often have to land in tricky places where they provide hospital-level care.
Now.
Air ambulances do incredible work And we have a great interview with Dr Curtin on our People page this week.
So go check it out if you can.
Lovely stuff.
Thanks, Joe.
Eve, what's been a big favorite fact that you've learned from the magazine?
So my favourite fact is from our entertainment page, which is all about an exhibition about the Magna Carta at Durham Cathedral.
So just quickly.
The Magna Carta is one of the most important documents in English history and it was created in 1215.
And you can read more about what it is and why it's important on page 22 of the magazine.
But the fact... is basically I interviewed the curator of the exhibition, Marie-Therese Main.
She told me that she noticed one of the Magna Carta documents they had at Durham Cathedral had a big stain on the back.
And after doing some research she found out this was because another researcher had accidentally knocked a bottle of ink over it in the 1740s.
And so now people aren't allowed to use ink or pens near the documents, and definitely no food or drink.
So it's in Durham Cathedral as we speak?
Yeah.
I'm quite near Durham.
Maybe I could go on a day trip to see the Magna Carta.
You should go, yeah.
They've got multiple because well, you could read about this in the magazine.
But there's lots of different copies of the Magna Carta and they have three copies right now at Durham Cathedral.
Oh, my goodness.
Right.
Well, after this podcast, I might go and make a trip.
Now, something I spotted in the magazine was from the kind of around the world pages.
I just found this fascinating.
In Lisbon, in Portugal, they've solved a mystery about earthquakes, because there were earthquakes that happened from 1755 and 1969.
They had no idea why they were happening.
But now they found out that there is a crack in the crust under the sea that they didn't know about.
And I kind of love the idea of like a geographical mystery being solved.
I just think it's quite fun, the idea that you can find out that kind of stuff still.
So yeah, if you want to find out about any of those stories, go and check out the magazine this week.
Now it's time for the moment of truth.
Jo, we got to talk about the real or rubbish.
Please remind me of the story, please.
The Real or Rubbish was about a Canadian man who had dreams about finding treasure at his local landfill site.
Eventually, he decided to search the site and found a wedding ring and an engagement ring.
But is this real or a lie?
Okay.
Well...
It does have the ring of truth to it.
I'm going to say the idea that like... You never fail.
Every week, it's always, yeah.
You lure me into a false sense of security and then bam.
If I can get a pun in there, Joe, every week I will do.
I like the idea of this and I think it's a really cool thing.
The idea that someone's dreaming about treasure and then they find it.
That's the kind of stuff from fantasy books.
But I just don't believe it could actually happen.
I think it's too good.
Um, so i'm gonna say this week, i'm gonna say the story is is literally and metaphorically rubbish.
Okay, drum roll, drum roll.
Yeah, it is.
It is indeed rubbish.
Uh well yeah, it's rubbish overall.
Some elements of it are rubbish there.
There were no dreams of treasure, however.
A canadian man did find his wife's rings at a dump after she accidentally threw them away.
Oh my goodness.
Good luck for him for finding them, to be honest, because that could have been quite concerning had they been lost forever.
So thank you very much for that, Joe.
