First News TV - FYI: Weekly News Show

video

This week on FYI, we explain what a general election is, and find out how children are getting a say on who they want to run the country, by launching their own mock election. Plus, we meet the sisters running their own vegetable box delivery business.

Next week on FYI, why do so many of us not have a school library? We head to a school who are getting a new library to find out how much of a difference it makes. Plus, we also check out the world’s biggest dance event and speak to the stars of the new movie about imaginary friends, IF.
