This week on FYI – the award winning news show brought to you by Sky Kids and First News. We head to a summer school to see what the government are doing to help kids who would otherwise be struggling during the holidays, and we catch up with Team GB gymnast Alice Kinsella, now she’s back from the Olympics.
