Not all of the news stories were what you would usually see in the adult news. Some were ...  Read the complete review

Newsround is a news programme with a difference in that it is for kids. It has been running for many years now, and used to be presented by John Craven. In fact, it used to be entitled John Craven's Newsround, before he left the programme, and now presents Countryfile instead.
