Michael Sheen talks Welsh stories on BBC School Report
Two School Reporters got to present part of a BBC Sports bulletin on the News Channel.
Scottish schools have been taking part in digital media workshops, organised by the BBC.
For School Report, pupils from several schools have been making reports on such issues as body shaming,healthy eating,healthy living and mindfulness.
In case you missed the School Report broadcasts on the News Channel, they'll be shown again on the Red Button.

A straw poll in the studio for the Northern Ireland School Report event showed a small number of pupils had experienced cyber-bullying.
But statistics from the NSPCC show it is rising.
In 2012 Anita became a victim of an online hate campaign.
“People were telling me to take my own life,” she said. “But I decided to take a stand and started my own organisation and Twitter campaign to help people across the world.”
She said she thought teachers should have a "massive role " in fighting online bullying.
"They need to keep going with the pastoral care,” she said.
It's not just posting nasty comments that hurts. Being ignored or left out is another form of cyber-bullying, added Anita.
“People think If I am not saying anything nasty or hitting someone, I am not doing anything wrong. But leaving someone out of a group chat, makes people feel like they have done something wrong. Their confidence is gone.”
Budding reporters are hard at work at St George's School in Edinburgh.
Keep your eyes peeled at 14:47 GMT on the BBC News Channel, when our correspondent Judith Moritz will be talking to School Reporters about their involvement with the Big Digital Day.
For our Northern Ireland School Report, pupils looked at performing arts. There are concerns about funding in Northern Ireland and enabling people to follow their dreams.
And with a focus on improving the numbers studying STEM subjects, pushing for more qualifications in science and technology, will this likes of drama survive?
Fergal said there is a “snobbery” around the subjects, especially as they are not seen as being directly linked to careers, but there must be a balance between subjects for a full education.

St Paul's High School welcomed back a famous pupil for School Report - the star of The Apprentice, Grainne McCoy.
She was asked what advice she would give budding entrepreneurs.
“My advice would be to never give up,” she says. “Over the last 12 years, so many doors have been closed in my face, but I just keep going back.”
So do pupils fancy their chances on the BBC show?
Rebecca said: “After having spoken with Grainne, and as she succeeded on it, I think she could help me and the school community, so yes, I would go on it.”
Watch the full video with Grainne here .
Students Stina and Elisa from Westminster Academy are spending the day with BBC London to find out more about the newsroom.
As part of the day, weather presenter Elizabeth Rizzini gave them a forecasting masterclass.
We are now live from a School Report event in Northern Ireland where they are tackling the weighty topic of Brexit.
A hard border between north and south is a big concern, but both Leave and Remain campaigners are saying nobody wants it to be reinforced.
But small business owner Ursula Murphy said she wants decisions to be made to give more assurance to companies like hers.
School Reporters at more than 900 schools around the UK who are taking part in News Day are putting down their pens and taking fingers off keyboards as they reach the 14:00 GMT deadline for finishing all their reports.
The schools have until 16:00 GMT to upload those reports to their websites.
You can look at the work of the schools taking part via our interactive map.

Good afternoon from Newcastle's Excelsior Academy.
Our roving reporters are ready for a news packed day! We have so much to report on this year.
Our school is very diverse and we have much to discuss from the importance of British values to the overuse of mobile phones by our generation!
Here at Excelsior we are a multi cultural and diverse place where everyone has the right to think differently.
We are learning how to put news stories together and are hoping to run our radio station.
Fingers crossed next year that's where we will be reporting from!
Listen to spoken word artist Success talking about mental health.
