Meet year 7. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Awesome! | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
It's the most important year of school so far. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
You're not here to have a laugh and a good time, you're here to learn. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
With so many changes, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
new friends... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Miss, have you got a cloth? | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
..and new teachers... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
You are a Greenwood boy. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
..it's an exciting world to discover. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Wow! | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
It can be fun, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
but sometimes it can be tough. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
There are different challenges for everybody. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
We're in year 7 and we're acting like three-year-olds. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
We've rigged another secondary school with loads of cameras... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
Is this what you see when you look through a camera? | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
Because this is awesome. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
..so you can find out exactly what happens. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
You're on report by my request. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
I'm Trev. I used to go to school here, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
but now I'm one of the teachers. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Last question because you're going to run out of time. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Welcome to Our School. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
I need a wee! | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Starting at secondary school can seem scary - | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
unfamiliar classrooms, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
strange-looking teachers and a whole bunch of new kids to mix with. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
Today on Our School we're going to see how | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
two of year 7 are settling in to their new surroundings. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Later, we'll meet Taylor-Jay. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Helloooo. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
But first say hello to... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
I'm really good at dancing. Do you want to see me dancing? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
He's just transferred to Greenwood from another school | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
and comes with a reputation. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
I get told off for being cheeky and chatting a lot. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
He's not exactly a shy boy. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
I was in the shower and I saw a hair and was I like, "Hallelujah!" | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
But he's glad his old mate Spencer's on hand to help him settle in. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
-We're Sparchie. -Sparchie? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-Spencer and Archie. -Oh, that's good. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
-RAPPING: -We are Sparchie... | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
..we put some spray on and make sure it's Versace. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
-BOTH: -Yeah! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
Oh, mate, what a goal! Mate, what a goal. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
He's funny and he's cheeky, like, he can get away with things easy. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
GROANING | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
Archie lives a short walk from school. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
I live with my mum, my dad and my little brother. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Jenson's like me, kind of a cheeky boy. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
This cheerful lad is keen to settle in fast. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Jack. I keep calling you Jack, it's Jake. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
Archie's antics may be raising a few smiles with fellow pupils... | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
How many yellow cards have you got? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-I've only had one. -Already. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
2 x 5. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
But he's not proving popular with everyone in the classroom, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
especially in maths with Mr Bruton. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
Archie, your chair is there. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Why are you over there? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Look at everyone else. What are they doing? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Sitting down. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Everyone is sitting down. -Yeah. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
So why are you not sitting down? | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-Sit down. -Yes, sir. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
I lent on my chair. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-Sit down. -OK, OK. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-The longer you take, the longer you'll stay in. -I'm sitting down. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
You're not, you're swinging. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
So I can stand up, then? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Archie's clowning about has alerted | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
the attention of head of year 7 | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Miss Richardson. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Now, young man. I'm giving you a very clear warning now. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
You do not come here to Greenwood Academy | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
and start getting on my behaviour log, young man. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
Now, I know for a fact Miss Rowan's already | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
spoken to you about showing off. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Now, I'm putting an end to that now. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
You're on report and I tell you now, if you fail that in a week, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
you'll be with me in isolation and I'll have your parents in. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
I don't care. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
You sort out your behaviour now, Archie. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
Do you understand? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
-Yes, Miss Richardson. -(Yes, Miss Richardson.) | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Right, go to your lessen. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
Not a good start, Archie. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
He is now on report, which means the teachers must give | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
a mark for behaviour and effort after every lesson. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
I think he's settling in a bit too much, too fast. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
I had two yellow cards and I'm on report, that's it. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
And everyone else has had ambers and reds and all that. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-It's not even fair, is it? -No. That's life. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
Bad luck, Archie. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
You've quickly found your way into Miss Richardson's bad book. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
It's not all about being centre of attention, you know. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
Archie, why are you still not working? You're bobbing your head... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-I am, sir. Look. -This is not a dance session. This is a maths lesson. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
It's not dancing, sir, it's an impression... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
First warning. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
But Archie still appears to be causing a disruption, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
and Mr Bruton is less than impressed. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-Second warning. -Second warning, what for? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
-You're not working. -I'm working, sir. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
I've got my work here. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
How is this dancing? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
Unhappy with his performance, | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Miss Richardson wants another one-to-one with Archie. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
You've got two cards already. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
We weren't impressed. Why did you get them cards last week? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
I think it was because I was talking with Spencer and everyone. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-Do you think you were you showing off a bit? -No, I was just talking | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
and I got cards for talking. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
OK, you know that you are not allowed to in lessons. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
You should be listening to miss or sir. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
It is about speaking at appropriate times. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
You don't have to sit there in silence for the entire hour. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
I don't expect you to sit there in silence for the entire hour, OK? | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
But I do expect you to be listening to members of staff, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
especially to make a good impression as you've only just arrived. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-OK? All right. Thank you very much for that. -It's all right. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
He's a nice character, he just needs to start getting it right | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
within lessons. I think that's where he's trying to show off | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
a little bit to get more friends. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
Let's hope Archie's learned his lesson now. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Time to meet Taylor-Jay... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-Sir, sir, sir, sir! -Whoa, whoa, whoa! | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
..Greenwood's very own self-confessed drama queen. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-SIGHING -Duh! | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
I'm bratty, I'm hyper. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Duh! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
I'm in the middle of a mean and nice. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Taylor-Jay is such a bubbly, loud character - it's brilliant. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
She's full of enthusiasm whenever she comes through the door. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
I don't care. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
This is one girl who loves to be centre stage. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Yes! | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
I'm confident. I do what I want to do. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
But Taylor's a drama queen with the dream. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
Drama is important to me because, like, | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
I want to get somewhere in life. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
and with my drama it can actually help me. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Young Stars is a youth group and we | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
do singing, acting and dancing and all that. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
She's been in lots of shows. She's just fantastic, she's brilliant, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
she really is. She's the biggest diva of them all. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
THEY SHOUT | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
Taylor lives at home with her biggest fans - her brother, | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
mum and dad. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:07 | |
My family mean a lot to me because they have been there ever | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
since I was little and have looked after me. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
I'm really proud of your singing and your acting. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
You need to keep that together. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
You do make us proud. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
Taylor's full of energy when it comes to playing centre stage. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Aggrhhh! | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Please, I'm a special child. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
-Smell it. -Go ahead with question one, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
write these percentages as fractions in the simplest form. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
But in maths, her wide-awake performance | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
could do with a little more practice. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
So we're increasing this... Taylor, put your head up. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Like you are ready to learn and not ready to take a nap. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
And in history, Mr Saunders has noticed her concentration technique | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
needs more thought. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
You're not paying attention. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
You cannot flap around and pay attention. Come on, girls. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
Can you wait for me outside, please? | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
This is the third time I have found you laughing and giggling. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
It is not work going on. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
You haven't even taken you work out of your packs yet. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
It's not going to happen. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
So what's the problem over there? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
-Why are you laughing? Hang on. -Tamar was making me laugh. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
Why? Now it's her fault? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Your fault, you are laughing, you're not focusing. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
Now you have taken me away from the rest of the class. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
But it's English with Mr Cross which spells frustration for Taylor-Jay. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
First of all, I'd like you to write today's header. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
Sir, I've got an announcement to make. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
I have actually spelt February right for once. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
I am rubbish at spelling. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
I still don't know how to spell Wednesday. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
My favourite word is LOL because I use it a lot. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
My mum and dad tell me to shut up when I say it. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
If you open your books, you will see I have marked them. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
GROANING | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
So how's Taylor-Jay's English grade this week? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
I've gone down! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
Why have I gone down? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
-Read my comment. -I'm not happy. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Whoops! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Perhaps a bit of Shakespeare will help cheer you up. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Any questions? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
Sir, can I go to the toilet? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Ah, yes, to pee, or not to pee, that is the question. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
If we end up writing our own poem, I'm going to flip. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
I'm rubbish at writing poems. I end up writing a bleeding story. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
Shall I compare thee to summer's day? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
It's a bit posh. My nan would love it. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
My nan's posh. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
Does Romeo really love Rosaline? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
No! No, cos he likes Juliet. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Boom! | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
It appears Taylor-Jay has Romeo's romances sorted, | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
but what about her own? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
The best-looking boy would be Spencer | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
because I've been out with him for about four... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
Like three or four times. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
# My head is a jungle Jungle | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
# My head... # | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
Go away. What's your problem? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Yeah, look. You're my problem. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
We're not going out. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
She needs to ask me. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Say it. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
I've just said yeah, didn't I? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
So say it. Just hurry up, man. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-Just say it. -God! | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
I'll give you a straight answer and it'll be yeah. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-Spencer, ask her out. -No, she can ask me out. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
I think I know what's coming. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
I need you to say it in person to me. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-Would you go back out with me? -No. -You see? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-I do like you. -No, you don't. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
As a friend I do, but I don't like you in a girlfriend way. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
BELL RINGS Saved by the bell, Spencer. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
But they're not the only ones thinking about romance. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
In year 7, there's lots of boyfriends and girlfriends. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
-Are you going to go out with him? -Are you?! | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Basically, there is a lot of love going around. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
This is what I have heard, he asked you out and then you asked him out. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
I don't think many relationships last long in year 7. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
I don't want a boyfriend right now. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
-It could be a day. -It could be a day, it could be an hour, actually. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
They split up and then they got back together and then they split up | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
and then they get back together. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Spencer! Do you like Spencer? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
They only went out for a day. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Cara's got a boyfriend. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Ask Courtney! She's the one... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
Did you kiss him? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
Did you kiss him? | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
Did you hug him? | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
I don't want a boyfriend. I don't like none of them in the school. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Well, there's plenty more fish in the sea for me. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-Farewell, my friend. -Farewell, my friend. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
Yeah, I'm over it now. If he asks me out again I'll just say no. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
So perhaps Taylor can now turn her full attention to class. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
Taylor! Taylor! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
Earlier we met new boy Archie. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
He's a lively lad, full of beans. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
I actually farted! I actually farted! I actually farted! | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
I actually farted! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:22 | |
But his entertaining behaviour has quickly got him on report. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
I don't want to be like one of those kids who's labelled as a bad kid. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
I want to let the teachers know I can turn it around | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
and be a good kid. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
Has he learned his lesson now? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
Archie, I don't appreciate you ignoring me. Sit in that seat. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
Yeah, I am, miss. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
We'll start looking at complex ones because I believe... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
Enough now! | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
Get on with your designs! Where's your pencil? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
-Now, that should be out. -OK. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:52 | |
That'll be no, then. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
I love it even more. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
It seems his fooling about has been detected | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
by the Richardson radar. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
We had a discussion in the morning about that. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
So now, young man, you've lost your break and lunchtime today | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
and you'll be coming straight down to my room in 016. Stand still. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Stand up straight. Get off the wall. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
Have a bit of respect for yourself when you're speaking to me, as well. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
Now, I've also been in contact with your mum and left a voicemail | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
and we're also going to contact your old school, as well. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
I am not too happy. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
I tell you, no-one gets away with having a conversation with me | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
yesterday and then decides to get on the behaviour log again. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
If you don't understand what happens at this school and how to behave, | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
it's not a problem. You can spend every break, lunchtime and | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
after school with me and we can just do lines. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-Do you understand? Yes, Miss Richardson. -Yes, Miss Richardson. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
OK. Come straight down to 016. Do you understand? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
If you don't, it will be an hour after school. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Archie's keen-to-be-seen approach has got him noticed | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
for all the wrong reasons. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
That third Miss Richardson chat should really give him | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
something to chew on. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:53 | |
Go outside, spit out what you're chewing. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-Thank you. -I spat out my chewing gum. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
-Out! -OK. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Oh, poor Archie. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
You're not allowed to chew chewing gum in class, | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
but it's a very, like, addictive thing. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
I concentrate better when I have chewing gum. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Chewing gum's amazing! | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
It's tutor time and Mr Elliott is about to announce why he's | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
dressed in a rather peculiar fashion. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
Sir, it looks like you play the piano every Thursday. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
OK, so, 7A/7B. On Monday you guys will be going on a trip to the | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
Black Country Museum. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
It is a museum that is in Dudley. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
Dudley. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
Obviously you can tell it's an older place and you'll be... | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-Victorian era... -Victorian era. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
..hence our attire today to show you what | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
kind of dress they wore back in Victorian times. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
So it will be... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:00 | |
-A sleepover, guys. -..a sleepover. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
School trips can be a great chance to hang out with your mates | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
and even make some new ones. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
But what else is a good about school trips? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
Trips, I think, are good for having | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
fun instead of having to be at school. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
You can mess around more, can't you? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
You get to miss lessons. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-You get out of work. -You get to mess around and that. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Not quite what I was thinking of, Taylor. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
And you might want to think twice about messing about on this trip. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
It was very strict in those days, Taylor. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
I know, you got hit with the cane. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
I swear, if they hit me with the cane... | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
-They ain't going to do that. -..I'm going to throw down. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Being away from home for the night could be a good | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
chance for Archie to bond with his new classmates. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
Now I know quite a lot of people in year 7 | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
so I can, like, talk to everyone. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Now I look like a Victorian. Woo-hoo! | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
# The wheels on the bus Go round and round | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
# Round and round Round and round... # | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Taylor-Jay and Tamar | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
were singing loud, really loud. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
# The drivers on the bus Go beep, beep, beep | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
# All day long... # | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
Everyone was like, "Shut up!" | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
The journey is an opportunity for Lucy to think about how different | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Victorian times were. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
I was reading and they had to wear corsets | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
that had, like, whalebone or something like that in them. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
That was really tight. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-I love learning about Victorians. -Can you imagine the back ache? | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
For Taylor-Jay, it's time to carefully plan the evening. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
Sweets! Messaging me mother! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
What do you think's a good plan for tonight? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
What time do you think's a reasonable | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
time for the children to go to sleep? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-Do think the kids are going to sleep? -I hope so! | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
All-nighter! All-nighter! | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
-All-nighter! -It's going to be an all-nighter. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
Yeah, we all brought munchies. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
Lucy, did you buy munchies? We all got munchies. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
The Victorian era spanned from 1837 to 1901 | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
during the reign of Queen Victoria. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Welcome to the Black Country Living Museum, everybody. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-ALL: -Whoo! | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
And this living museum is a great way for year 7 to experience | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
how different life would have been in those days. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
How will a traditional Victorian lesson with a rather strict | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
Mr Williams compare to theirs? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Quickly! | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
What's your name? Rosie, get in line. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Follow me. This way. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Best pay attention, class. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
It was split into two groups. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Boys on this side, girls on that side. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
The other way around. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:58 | |
No, boys sat there, girls sat there. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
No, because we were facing that way, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
girls sat that side and boys sat that side. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Well, you know! | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
You may sit. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
In Victorian times school was different | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
because you only had three subjects to learn. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
The lessons would have been called the three Rs - | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
reading, arithmetic, writing. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
You would have come to this school to learn those three things. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
It must have been really horrible | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
because the teachers are really strict. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Some of the questions I shall ask... | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
-What is wrong with you, boy? -Sorry, sir. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Are you a clown? Are you, boy? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
-Are you a clown? -No, sir. -Right. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
First of all, you are going to do the two and three times table. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:49 | |
So sit up straight. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
1 x 2 = 2. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
2 x 2 = 4. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
I go, 1 x 2 = 2. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-BOTH: -2 x 2 is 4. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Why can't you just go, one twos are two, two twos are four? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
It's easier. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
Are you laughing, girl? Stand up. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
Come out here. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
Archie and Spencer were in front of me and they kept making me laugh. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
They were making me laugh that much the teacher told me to go up. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
Put your left hand out, girl. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Oh! | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
Do you think Taylor-Jay knows he's not really going to hit her? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
Now... | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
Let this be a lesson to you all when I say no talking or laughing. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
Maybe she doesn't. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
Put your hand out, girl. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
Sit down, girl. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
He was this close to whacking me on my hand. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
Nah, not really. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Then Mr Williams grabbed Archie by his ear | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
and pulled him out to the front of the class. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Stand up, boy. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
Actually, Courtney, he only pretended to grab his ear. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
Stand out there. Don't worry about that. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-LAUGHTER -Stand there. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
Looks like for Archie a Victorian lesson is no | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
different from today. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:15 | |
I really liked the school. I liked the old-fashioned beams and | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
how it looked really good inside. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
They had the little chalk and that. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
I liked the writing because I like really curly writing. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
After a good old-fashioned telling off, | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
what better remedy than a trip to the Victorian chemist? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
So you arrive in me shop and you tell me what's wrong with you. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
In the olden days you had to pay to see a doctor | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
and not everyone could afford to. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
So the local chemist was the next best thing. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
This was your poor man's doctor. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
Not only were they the poor man's doctor, because people couldn't | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
afford to go to the doctor, they were the poor man's dentist. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
And also, they were the poor man's vet. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
See them big glass jars in the window? We should have four. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
They represented the four elements. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
That's earth, wind, fire and water. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
So you would know straightaway if you saw those signs | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
in the window, this is the chemist shop. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
Finally, a chance to explore one of the very coal mines which | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
helped give the Black Country its name. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
I don't like this! | 0:21:21 | 0:21:22 | |
We were all excited, but when we got in there, it was all like, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
"Oh, my gosh! I can't see." | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
SCREAMING | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
I was excited, but the man told us it was haunted, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
so I was really scared. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
It was horrible down there. It was all dirt. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
I personally liked the mine because I like the really earthy smell. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
I thought it was interesting but scary at the same time. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
I was just looking at the people and I was like, | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
"Wow, this was like the way they lived down here. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
It was pitch black. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Seeing how their great-great-grandparents once lived | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
is proving to be a real eye-opener. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
It made me think it was horrible | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
for the children in Victorian times | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
because they never had no technology. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
We're lucky now because we've got all the internet and stuff. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
Well, Courtney, they may not have had the internet, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
but lots of things were invented in Victorian times - | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
like the telephone, bicycle, typewriter, | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
and even the flushing toilet. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
TOILET FLUSHES | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
The busy day has barely left Taylor-Jay | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
and Archie any time to hang out with their mates. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
Welcome to your second home. Come in. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
Perhaps tonight will be the perfect opportunity. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
I'm scared. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
No smelly boys allowed. Don't come in because we don't like you. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
-That told you, Spencer. -No smelly boys! | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
While the girls neatly settle in for the night, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
the boys decide to let off some steam. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
Good to see Archie getting to grips with his mates, though. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Oh, look out, guys! | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
Put everything out nicely. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
I'm going there. Darnell's going there, I think. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
Spencer is going in the coroner. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
But when you're away from Mum and Dad for the night, | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
surrounded by friends, sleep is | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
going to be the last thing on your mind. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
School trips with your mates can be the perfect opportunity | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
to catch up on the gossip. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
And get yourself a makeover, right, Leo? | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
After a hectic day, it's time to finally get some sleep. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
You can stay awake, all right? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
But I don't want you to upset people who want to sleep. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
-Good night, everyone. -Good night, God bless. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
What time did you go to sleep last night? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
I went about five. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
It was fun going on a school trip, but it was a bit exhausting. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
We should do it again. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
I am not looking forward to going back to school because everyone | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
is tired and everyone's going to be weird with everyone. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Sorry, Kyra, all good things must come to an end. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
But before you all go, Mr Saunders has a job for you... | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
You're not leaving unless this place is absolutely clean. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
..a spot of good old-fashioned tidying up. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
I think that going on an overnight trip with our classmates in year 7 | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
was a really big thing for us. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
I mean, some of us got to know each other | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
a little bit more than we did before, I feel. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
I got to know Tamar more, Kyra more, | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
because I obviously don't know them that well. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
I didn't make any new friends, but I bonded with them more. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
I got to know Casey more. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
-Because I'm just amazing. -You're so full of yourself. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
Friends are really important to me | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
because what would school be without friends? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
Having become more familiar with their friends, perhaps Taylor-Jay | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
and Archie can now focus more on their classwork | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
instead of their classmates. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:32 | |
It's music, and a good opportunity for Taylor to show | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
she's making an extra effort. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Right, I need to take the register. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Can you do what's on the board, please? | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
I love music, I've made my own CD. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
People say that I'm going to be famous in about ten years' time | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
and I really believe that. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
We're going to go straight in to having a go | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
at playing it on the offbeat because you've done very well so far. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
One, two, three, four, | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
one, C, | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
two, C, C. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
You see, just look at the concentration. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
C, C. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
And also in maths, things are really beginning to add up. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
-Taylor, what did you get? -I got 44%. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
The answer should be 44. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
Yay! | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
I care about maths because I want to be like my dad in maths. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
My dad is really smart at maths. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
I bet you it is four. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
See! | 0:26:28 | 0:26:29 | |
Perhaps Miss Richardson's wise words may finally | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
have taken effect on Archie. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
He's starting now to understand how to behave in lessons | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
and how not to get the yellow cards. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
I'm like, two, four, six, eight. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
Oh, eight, you can't do that! | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
But then you see on the thing that you've got to add one to it. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
So then... | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
So I reckon I have learned my lesson, but I still will get | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
a few yellow cards and ambers and reds. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
Well done, Taylor-Jay and Archie. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
After all, it's good to get noticed in school, | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
but for all the right reasons, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
not the wrong ones. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
Next time... | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
can Lucy, year 7's BFG... | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
-Who's your favourite giant? -You. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
Yas! | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
..overcome some big nerves? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
Are you feeling brave enough to talk about it next lesson? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
And meet Darnell, who thinks he's Mr Cool... | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
-HE RAPS: -To be, or not to be | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
that is my q-q-question. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
..but finds himself in hot water. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
I've had enough of your comments. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
You can go and stand outside. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:33 | |
What?! I'm thinking. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
He's looking at me like... | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
Is anything working in there? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
The thing that they've done... | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
You've got a bogey. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
It's on camera. I could say now or | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
I could let you look | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
like you've got a really | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
big bogey, and you have! | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 |
