Ahead of Daffodil Day, Oscar tells us about leukaemia, and we visit a school marking the important day. The Ireland MNT squad announcement. A special guest weather presenter and a pygmy hippo!

Tomorrow is Daffodil Day, a day to raise funds and awareness about cancer. Joining Florence in studio was 10-year-old Oscar Walsh from Dublin who currently has leukaemia but hasn't let it stop him from living his life to the full!

Florence went to visit Scoil Bhride in Ranelagh, Dublin. It's not only the oldest Gaelscoil in the country, but also one of Daffodil Day's longest standing supporters! So, she went to see how they're preparing for tomorrow!

Do not adjust your TV set! For one day only a kid presents the weather - take it away Faye!

And we finish with a fun story about a tiny hippo! Could this little one go viral online too?!
