Hello and welcome to the Week Junior show.
I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Eve and Joe from the Week Junior, the magazine making sense of the world for 8 to 14 year olds.
Now, in a week where protests against tourism took place in Spain, Italy and Portugal and a collection of gold coins in France sold for a fortune, we're going to be discussing some of the other stories, events and people that inspired the Week.
Junior team.
Make sure you're listening closely, because at the end of this episode we'll be asking a question about what you've heard.
And if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize.
But first, before all of that, Joe and Eve, there's something I want to talk to you about.
There's a story in this week's magazine about some Year 5 pupils who won the Beano's Britain's Funniest Class Competition with a very funny joke about punctuation.
So, of course, it means I want to hear your favourite joke, please.
Joe, go for it.
Get yourself ready and tell us your favourite joke.
So, what's the fastest item of clothing on the washing line?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Honda pants.
That silence is slightly worrying.
Oh, sorry, it took me a second.
Is it because Honda's a type of car?
Is that why?
It is, yeah.
But what are Honda pants?
Sorry.
Lost me.
Underpants, Honda pants.
Oh, okay, sorry, sorry.
That's really embarrassing.
I think we've come down like the proverbial lead balloon.
But, well, yeah, okay.
Hopefully we can pick it up with you guys.
Eve, come on, go for it.
Okay.
How do astronomers organise a party...
I don't know.
How do astronomers organise a party?
They plan it.
Oh, OK.
OK.
Yeah, I like that one.
I like that one.
No laughter, though.
Just groans of, oh.
I think everyone just relieved they get it.
I think in general, it was just like, OK.
It was immediately understood.
So it was a step up from mine.
OK, the pressure's on.
OK.
Did you know that milk is the fastest liquid ever?
It's pasteurised before you can even see it. that's good that's good I like that I got a laugh all right I think I think we definitely got better each time I think we finished yeah a strong finish there yeah Well done to those entrants of the Beano's Britain's Funniest Class Competition, I tell you.
Now, if you've got a joke that's better than ours, and you probably do, we want to know about it.
Please send an email to hello at theweekjuniorcouk or leave a voice note at funkidslivecom.

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.
Last week we asked who everyone's favourite teacher was for Thank a Teacher Day, which was on the 18th of June.
We got a message here from harry hi week junior.
My favorite teacher is a teacher called mr ringwood.
He's really fun and funny and um, he teaches us computing and he's just really good at everything and he's just so funny and he makes us all laugh and have a good time at school.
Thank you, bye.
Well, I think it sounds like Harry's teacher should be entering the funniest teacher competition.
Yeah, he's probably got better jokes than us, I'm sure.
Sounds excellent.
What a big ringing endorsement there from Harry.
Thank you very much, Harry.
We've also got a voice note from Anya.
Hello, Week Junior.
My name's Anya and my favourite teacher is someone called Mr Napper.
He's an English teacher and he's the best because he makes our class funny and he gets us to do loads of work and we're Ahead of all the other year.
Five students in English.
Incredible.
And another funny teacher.
Ahead of all the year five students as well.
He's doing something right.
They should get the podcast and play it in the class.
Like the ringing of the teacher.
It'd be nice.
I've got to say, yeah.
I mean play that to all of the PTA, the other teachers, the other classmates, because ahead of all the year fives, that's a big deal.
Yeah, definitely.
Big thank you to Harry and Anya.
And of course, we want to hear your voices on the podcast.
So if you want to tell us your favourite joke, just send us a voice note at funkidslivecom.
Slash theweekjunior.
Now I think we should turn our attention to the latest magazine, because I want to know what's been in the headlines this week.
Joe, what do you have for me?
So on the 13th of June, King Charles's birthday honours were revealed.
This is something that happens every year, and it's a way to celebrate people who have done amazing things.
So one of the people to be honored was 11-year-old Carmela Chillery-Watson, who has LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy, a condition that weakens muscles.
She has walked and wheeled hundreds of miles, helping to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for the charity Muscular Dystrophy UK.
And she was made an MBE, which stands for Member of the Order of the British Empire.
And she's thought to be the youngest person to receive the honor.
And at the other end of the age spectrum, there was Billy Boston who, at the age of 90, became the first rugby league player to receive a knighthood.
Sir Billy made history in 1954 as the first non-white player to be selected for a Great Britain Rugby League Lions Tour.
And he's seen as a trailblazer for black players in the sport.
And elsewhere.
Some other people to be honoured who you might recognise are Strictly Come Dancing hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, teenage darts player Luke Littler and former footballer David Beckham.
There's a long list of people who've done great things.
So go check it out.
Yes, I always find it really fun and really fascinating to see the list and to see why people have got their honours as well.
Brilliant.
Thanks, Joe.
Eve, what's another story you've seen in the news this week?
So my story is about a lost garden that has been recreated in Pompeii in Italy.
And so the garden was destroyed when Mount Vesuvius, which is a volcano, erupted in the year AD 79.
And so archaeologists, who are experts that study ancient objects to understand history, they found traces of flowers and trees in an area that they think was a garden.
And they think it was used to grow ingredients that make perfumes and the.
They thought the flowers would have been mixed with olive oil and grape juice to make the perfumes.
And so now the garden has been replanted with vines, roses, and violets.
And it's been named the Garden of Hercules because a statue of Hercules was found there.
And it just is very cool.
Now it's time for my favorite bit of the show, the bit where I get to flex my muscles real or rubbish.
I hear a story.
I have to guess if it's true or false.
This week, Eve, you've got a story for me, haven't you?
I have indeed.
So this is about a group of scientists, welfare experts and thinkers who are trying to come up with a way to get animals involved in making decisions about politics and the environment.
So this group is called Animals in the Room and they think animals are capable of communicating with humans about issues that affect them and they think they should be involved in saying how the country is run.
And so a major piece of work that they're focusing on is looking at how they can resolve conflicts between.
So that's just one way that they think maybe they could get animals to speak up, for well, not necessarily, not literally speak up, but express their opinions on certain issues.
So Bex, do you think this is real or do you vote that it's a lie?
Okay.
Right, so how are they communicating with the bears, for example?
Are they going like, and then seeing what the bears reply with?
Or are they pressing a button that they're like, yes and no?
I mean, talk me through this process.
Well, at the moment, they're still working on that.
So I'm afraid I don't quite know the ins and outs of the science of how that's working.
But I'm sure there are examples of animals that can kind of communicate.
Scientists have found a way to understand what animals are saying.
I remember there was a story about decoding the clucks of a chicken.
So you know, maybe that kind of technology could be used to work out how animals are feeling about certain issues.
Didn't we have a story recently about dolphins and about communicating with them, I feel like.
And I can't remember whether it was real or not.
So I remember years ago, there was an octopus called Paul.
And there was a theory that he could predict who was winning in football, in tournaments and stuff like that.
So I guess that, you know, people do try and think of ways to communicate with animals.
For him, I think it was his tentacles and which way he, I don't know, went on a thing.
But I don't know whether we have the technology to really read animals' minds and get their opinion, because
And also to say that they're going to be involved in the politics.
Do you reckon that we're going to have like the House of Commons, and we're going to have, you know, all of the politicians in the House of Parliament, and then we're going to have like another smaller one by the side, with rabbits and dogs and cats in?
Is that the idea?
Well, funnily enough, in the magazine, the way the story has been illustrated I think there's a monkey putting something into a ballot box, which is quite funny.
But yeah, I think, because obviously there are so many issues that politicians vote on that do affect politics animals, things to do with rewilding and stuff like that.
So if they could somehow find out how animals who are directly affected by those issues, how they feel about those things, then maybe it could help politicians to make decisions.
Yeah, that's a good point.
I've got to say animals are deeply affected by a lot of the stuff we do when it comes to climate and environment.
So it would make sense to do what is best for them.
But whether that comes from actually trying to decode their thoughts and speak to them, that's another matter entirely.
So i'm not entirely sure on this one.
I think it might be a bare-faced lie, but i don't know for sure.
Uh yeah, that's.
Yeah, that deserved a groan, but i'm fine with what i did there.
Joe, i don't mind it.
Um, that was my favorite joke of the whole podcast.
So while I think about that story and whether animals could be part of our democracy, it's time for our book of the week.
And we've got a message here from author Maisie Chan to tell us a little bit more about it.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Maisie Chan and I'm a children's author.
I'm probably best known for my Tiger Warrior series or Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths.
But I'm here today to talk about my new novel, Nate Yu's Blast from the Past.
Now, Nate is a Chinese boy, but he's adopted and his parents aren't Chinese.
And sometimes Nate doesn't feel very Chinese at all.
He's just moved from a small village to Liverpool and has started a new school.
And one day someone from a museum comes with some artefacts from World War One and World War Two.
And Nate ends up touching a golden coloured shell casing which has a mysterious engraved Chinese dragon on it.
A bit later, when Nate touches the shell casing, a ghost appears from the Chinese Labour Corps.
I really wanted to tell stories of British Chinese history that hadn't been told before.
And this was one of the ways to do it.
It's a funny book and it's got ghosts, lots of ant facts and even a floating roast chicken.
I quite like funny books.
And when I was a child, one of my favourite books was Funny Bones by Janet and Alan Olberg.
I love the bold illustrations, the black, the yellow, the red colours.
And I love the rhyme.
It was such a funny book and I recommend it to anybody.
I just looked around to see if Funny Bones was next to me, because I'm next to a lot of books from my childhood.
Sadly, I don't have it.
But it is a classic, right, Funnybones?
And we also, we do love Maisie Chan's books as well.
I know they are absolutely massive.
And if you want a chance to win a copy of Nate Yu's Blast from the Past, stay with us, because at the end of the show you can find out how to enter our prize draw.
Now, while we were talking about that, we were joined by a special guest.
We've got Laura, Associate Editor of the Week Junior magazine, who edits lots of the pages, including the animals and environment ones.
So welcome to the show, Laura.
What have you got for us today?
Hi, Bex.
Yes, I've got a great story for you which is sort of positive and a little bit sad at the same time.
But it actually was our cover story this week, and it's about rhinos.
So this is such a fierce looking and magnificent creature, which is obviously famous for its unicorn-like horn.
But they are actually in danger because of this horn.
And the story is about how experts have found out that removing it can help them.
So, to explain the background, there are quite a few species of rhino, but there are less than 28000 of all of those species left on the planet.
And one of the major reasons for this is that they are poached, which means illegally hunted.
And they're killed mostly for their horn, which is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Now, rhino horns are made from keratin, which is the same substance found in our nails and our hair.
So it doesn't cure anything.
Science has proved that.
But it has been used to treat conditions ranging from headaches to snake bites for more than 2000 years.
And sadly, while there are still some people that believe that rhino horn can cure things, that means that people will still hunt rhinos to sort of fulfil this demand for horn to put in the medicine.
And the study that the article is about was done by researchers in South Africa in Kruger National Park between 2017 and 2023.
And about 25% of all of Africa's rhino live here, which is amazing.
And there are loads of people working to protect them from poachers.
And one of the things that they do is remove the horns.
And I should explain that this doesn't hurt them at all, removing the horn.
I guess it's just like having a giant fingernail sawn off, although a bit more complicated because it comes from a huge rhino.
But basically this study found out that removing rhino horns reduces poaching of them by a whopping 78, which is really good and really positive.
But the slightly sad side to it is that another study suggested that dehorned rhinos change their behaviour slightly.
So they're less likely to interact with other rhinos and they kind of roam around in slightly smaller areas.
So yeah, it's kind of a good thing, but a slightly sad side to it as well.
So do these horns not grow back?
Do they have to trim them?
Good question.
They do grow back.
So they grow back and they have to be, They have to be dehorned every sort of one and a half to two years basically.
I guess, yeah, it's one of those things that you say because it's made of the same substance.
And I guess it's kind of similar vibe of like keeping on top of it almost.
Exactly, exactly.
Just a little bit more tricky because I guess you've got to catch them first.
Yes, probably more difficult to catch a rhino than it is a hairdresser.
Laura, I mean, I imagine I've never tried to catch a rhino.
Laura, thank you so, so much for that story.
And I'm guessing we can read it in this week's issue, right?
You can, yes.
And actually, I can't remember if I mentioned, you can see what a dehorned rhino looks like.
So we've got a picture of a dehorned rhino and they still have a little bit of a stub there.
But you can also see a picture of a rhino with its magnificent horn intact as well.
Lovely stuff.
Thank you so much, Laura.
Now it's time for this week's big debate.
And the question is, should adaptations stick to the book?
Eve and Jo are going to go head to head and take each side in this argument.
But before we hear from them...
Let's get some information.
Now the Harry Potter books are currently being made into a new TV series which is expected to come out in 2027.
It promises to be true to the original books, which some fans are very excited about because they say the films didn't include some important plot lines and characters.
Wuthering Heights, a classic book by Emily Bronte which was originally published in 1847, is currently being made into a film.
However, some people are unhappy with the actors playing the two main characters, Kathy and Heathcliff.
That's partly because the actors are older than the characters they play.
So should adaptations stick to the book?
Joe is team yes and Eve is team no.
Each of them has 60 seconds to make their case, and then I'll make up my mind on who I agree with more.
So let's hear from Joe first, who thinks they should stick to the book.
So I'm going to get my little stopwatch here.
Joe, whenever you're ready, take it away.
Well, Bex, if a book becomes really popular...
Why is that?
Well, it's because the author has made a brilliant story.
So the formula for a movie or TV show is already there and there's no need to change it.
What the director needs to do simply or maybe not so simply, but is bring the words that are already there to the screen and plus.
Fans of the books want to see the story brought to life as they originally imagined it.
It's disappointing to them when an adaptation changes parts of the story, gets rid of certain characters or even, in some cases, has a completely different ending.
And it's not fair on the author either, because their work should be respected.
If the screen adaptation has lots of changes and someone watches it before reading the book, then they're not going to know what the author's original story was.
So i have no idea what the author originally had in mind.
So that's not really fair, oh okay oh, my goodness.
Um, lots of good points there.
You're right, it isn't fair um, but eve has a different point of view on this one.
So eve, whenever you're ready, take it away.
Well, good points made joe, but i think sometimes it's fun to give a story a bit of a fresh twist.
Yeah, story books like Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice and Peter Pan have been turned into films several times already.
And so sometimes it's really fun to actually see a completely new twist on the story where it's a bit different.
Maybe it has some slightly different characters or things like that, because also for older books that have been around for a long time, like Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice
I think it makes the story more relevant for a modern audience to make some changes.
And you know, if you think about it, there's lots of amazing Shakespeare adaptations with a modern twist.
And I think sometimes there's way too many characters in a book or the plot is just way too long, or there's all these side plots, and so certain parts of the story need to be cut.
And I think that's okay.
Directors and screenwriters are making their own version of the book.
And so they should have the freedom to kind of make whatever changes they want to.
And authors might be really big fans, even if there are changes made to the story.
The House Train with Dragon.
Books and films aren't very similar, but Cressida Cowell, the author of the books, is a really huge fan of the films.
She is indeed.
This is a tricky one, I've got to say, because there's something quite disappointing about watching a TV show or a film based on a book you love and it's not exactly what's in the book and you kind of get disappointed by the lack of characters or the changing of the plot.
But equally, sometimes it can bring you more to life and it can add a little bit more to it.
I'm slightly, slightly team Joe, but then I do enjoy some adaptations.
You know some newer versions.
Like you say, Shakespeare plays have been kind of like adapted and modernized.
So this is a really tough one, I think.
But luckily...
It's the readers and listeners who we want to hear from the most.

Now, last week's Big Debate was about whether festivals in parks should be allowed.
So what did the Week Junior listeners and readers vote?
59 said that festivals in parks should be allowed.
That is tighter than i thought.
Okay uh, we've got a message here from persephone to tell us her thoughts.
Hello week junior.
My name is persephone and i'm 11 years old, and i would love to tell you my point of view on this week's debate.
I think the festival should not be allowed in parks because for adults and children who do not like loud noises, that could disrupt their sleep schedule.
And if they have work and school in the morning, that can make their performance drop.
Thank you, Victoria.
What a very polite ending.
Persephone, thank you so much.
I appreciate when people say thank you.
Okay, so yes, good point.
It could upset the people who live nearby and their kind of sleeping habits.
Eve, what other opinions have we had in the inbox?
So one person said I think that they should be allowed because festivals are fun and help us to get to know each other and we get to experience new food, which is, you know, good point.
There's always great food at a festival.
Someone else said, yes, because the festivals make people happy.
There are even fans who are always looking forward to these festivals, which is also that's a very nice way to look at it.
I'm probably more inclined to agree with Persephone though, because I can't imagine anything more annoying than having work the next day and there being a really loud music festival happening in the park nearby.
I've got to say, though, I just I do love festival food.
I think that alone could swing it for me, because I one of the things I do, I do research the food carts in advance.
I don't really care so much about the music, but I do check out where the food is.
But that's the whole of the story.
Right.
We we've heard from the Week Junior readers opinions on this week's big debate.
And Kay is here to share a few of the many messages she's received from the readers this week.
So, hey, Kay, how you doing?
Hi, Bex.
We have an audio message this week from Annie.
Hi, Week Junior.
I'm Annie.
And this week, my class did this whole day about the Amazon rainforest.
I got I'm really scared of spiders and I held a tarantula.
I was so scared, but I did it.
That's so cool, Annie.
Has anyone here ever held a tarantula?
I have, actually.
At school, we had a tarantula.
Not in the school, obviously, like someone brought it in.
And I held it.
I'm not as scared of spiders, Annie, so I was kind of okay with it.
But it was a bit weird feeling in this little creature kind of walking around on your arm and your butt.
Eve and Joe a little less sure of it, but yes.
It was the way you mimicked it.
I always think it'd be okay until it starts to move.
And the idea of those kind of legs moving one at a time across my hand.
I mean, I got offered to hold a tarantula once at a festival.
Its name was Henry, as I remember.
And I was just kind of took a big step back and I was like, no, if it's still, it's fine.
But can you imagine if it starts to move up your arm?
No, no.
It makes me feel nauseous now.
You know they're great creature spiders, and they deserve respect.
But as long as they're not on my hand, it's fine.
Yeah, cool.
So Eve and Jo definitely tapped out of the tarantula, but Annie, congratulations.
We also had a message from 12-year-old Theo who said I thought you might like my photo of three baby toads.
I took it at the Welsh Harp Open Space in London, which is a site of special scientific interest.
I loved the way their colouring totally camouflaged them with the soil.
They were very hard to spot and tiny.
They are so cute.
That reminds me of when I was at primary school.
Our playground was next to kind of this foresty area and a few of us noticed some frogs, like right at the edge, near the fence, and everyone wanted to try and hold them.
But then someone told a teacher and everyone got in trouble and we weren't allowed to hold them.
But they were so tiny and they they look just like the ones that Theo sent in.
They're so cute, they're so well um, blending in, like he said, the camouflage.
It's quite interesting because I don't think I would have seen them at all.
Yeah, good eye Theo, hawkeye eagle eye, eagle eye for toe spotting.
Thanks so much for sending your messages.
Elena will be back next week with some more.
Don't forget to send us a voice note and you're in with a chance of winning a roving reporter badge.
Yes, absolutely.
Like we mentioned earlier, if you want to send us a voice note, it's very easy.
Just go to funkidslive.com slash theweekjunior.
Now let's turn our attention back to this week's magazine and team's favourite stories.
Joe, who's been your hero of the week from the magazine?
My hero of the week is Marcus Skeet.
So at 17, Marcus has become the youngest person to run the length of the UK.
He covered an incredible 837 miles between Land's End in England and John Oak Roats in Scotland.
And it took him 58 days.
He was running for a whopping 58 days.
He's raised more than £150,000 for Mind, a mental health charity.
And after the run, he said, thank you to everyone who believed in me.
I love you all.
Very much so.
A huge well done from the week junior to Marcus.
That is impressive stuff indeed.
Well done, Marcus.
Eve, what's been the most fascinating fact from this week's issue?
Well, my favourite fact, although I didn't actually quite make it into the story.
But anyway, we have a double page spread on our All About page this week about the Royal Observatory which is in Greenwich.
And this year it's celebrating its 350th birthday.
And so an observatory is a building designed for studying the night sky.
And when it was first built 350 years ago, King Charles II hired a royal astronomer who was in charge of work there.
And the first ever royal astronomer was a man called John Flamsteed, who you can read a bit more about in the magazine.
But something I really enjoyed was that when the observatory was still being built, he actually had to live at the Tower of London while he was starting his work as a royal astronomer.
And legend has it that he had a bit of a rough time there because the ravens at the Tower of London kept pooing on his telescopes.
And I just thought that was very funny.
Well, not funny for John Flamsteed.
That was probably unfortunate, but I love that story.
It is a good story.
Yeah, I'm going to remember that.
Thank you.
Joe, what's been the most unusual story you've seen this week?
So my...
The most unusual story I've seen is on our That's Unbelievable page, and it's about a police officer's hat.
So more than 20 years ago, PC Paul Allen lost his police hat while on patrol in Leicester.
He thought someone must have stolen it from his car and had to buy his team cream cakes as punishment.
But now remarkably, the hat which has his name inside has been discovered by a litter picker just 14 miles away from where he originally lost it.
And Alan is now displaying it on a shelf in his office.
So how about that?
That is a great story.
How about hat?
Big fan of that.
Thank you.
I'm fine with what I did there, guys.
I'm fine with it.
Sorry, my mind is still catching up with the joke.
But yeah, I've got it.
I'm with you now.
It's kind of you to call it a joke, Joe.
So the story I saw this week that made me just a bit more I was just fascinated was the idea that scientists have developed contact lenses that could help people to see in the dark.
Now, they're kind of new lenses that allow people to see infrared light.
And I just thought it was so cool that that kind of technology exists out there.
That blows my mind.
So yeah, if you can see in the dark in contact lenses in the future, that would be amazing.
Now it's time for our moment of truth.
Eve, can you please remind me about this week's real or rubbish story, please?
Yeah, so this is about a group of scientists, welfare experts and thinkers who are called Animals in the Room, who are trying to come up with a way to get animals involved in making decisions about politics and the environment.
I'd forgotten.
The thing that made me laugh at the beginning of the story was a collection of people, including thinkers.
Like, who's that?
Like, what's a thinker?
I'm a thinker?
We're all thinkers, technically, right?
Maybe.
I think it might be philosophers.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Some animal philosophers in there.
Right.
So I...
I don't know.
I genuinely don't know what to do with this, because I do believe a good to get animals involved in a way in making decisions.
But I don't know whether this goes too far in claiming that we can get more opinions from animals than we can.
That is my problem.
Are you saying that we could like, canvas the animals or get them to give us their thoughts and hopes and dreams?
Well, I guess kind of...
I don't know.
I mean what I'm imagining.
I'm not quite sure about the ins and outs of this, but what I am imagining is say, if the government wants to destroy this reservoir to build a block of flats, what does everyone think?
And then all of the local animals cast their vote.
Sorry, that sounds really silly.
But in some way, maybe they could get the feedback of the local birds and otters and things.
What am I listening to?
What is going on?
It's like, do you remember the animals of Farthingwood?
Yeah.
Getting strong vibes.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Okay.
I know what you mean, Eve.
And I think it's very important to consider animals in these decisions.
But I just don't know whether they would be able to uphold the tradition of debate and voting.
So I think I'm going to say this week the story is rubbish.
I think that's what I'm going to go with.
Should we do a drum roll, please?
Yes.
It's actually real.
This is a real group that is trying to achieve this.
And yeah, I mean they are trying to see if they could get some bear, some animal opinions about bear and human communities in Europe working together.
And you know I was thinking we've all seen the bee movie when Barry B Benson gives his opinion about how the honey trade affects bees.
So it could happen.
I love these.
We've all seen the bee movie as if like everybody has watched it at school.
Right, well, you know what?
I'm happy to be proven wrong on that one.
And I'm excited to see where this human-bear collab takes us to.
