0:00:02 > 0:00:04When you get to year six, you are the top dog in school.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'll never be 11 again.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09It's a year packed with emotional highs...
0:00:09 > 0:00:11OH! Oh, my gosh!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13ALL: Yes!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- ..and dramatic lows. - I'm not going to sit next to him.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Oh, really? That's the wrong attitude.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Aw!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22They are going to take me to hospital
0:00:22 > 0:00:25because my hand is hurting and I can't move it.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29And, as year sixes start their last-ever term at primary school,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31- there is a lot to look forward to. - Well jeal'!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34The limos, the glamour
0:00:34 > 0:00:37and the party of their lives at the end-of-year prom.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41The challenge of stepping into the spotlight
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- and showcasing their talent. - THEY BEAT BOX
0:00:44 > 0:00:49The adrenaline rush and wild nights of the first trip away from home.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Pillow fight!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54But this is also a time when their life changes for ever.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57'Year six is about getting them ready to move on.'
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Moving on up until that next stage.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04For the first time, exams loom large.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- I almost felt like crying. - I was so stressed out!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And year sixes get ready to become the new kids again
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- as they have a taste of secondary. - Well done.- Yes!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Leaving everything you know can be nerve wracking.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22I don't want to sit here. She's the only person that I know.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25But it can also be the start of something exciting and new.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I didn't think I would make new friends but I have made at least one.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32One thing is for sure - the final term at primary school
0:01:32 > 0:01:34will be like nothing they've ever experienced.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36SHE SCREAMS
0:01:36 > 0:01:38There is so much still to learn...
0:01:38 > 0:01:42I don't want to mess up for anyone and I want to do my best.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44..and to laugh about.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49And, after that, it is time to say, "Goodbye Year Six".
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Hip-hip! ALL: Hurrah!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Coming up: class clowns and rapping partners
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Patrick and Giovanne have a showdown.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Get some tissue!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14HE RETCHES
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Year six cope with their fears and nerves
0:02:17 > 0:02:19when they first visit their secondary school.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I had kind of nightmares but, yeah, I did get to sleep.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27And best friends Kelsey and Serrenur face being separated for ever.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I spent five years trying to find a friend as good as her.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38There are 500 pupils at Heavers Farm Primary School in South London.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42From the youngest three-year-olds of nursery class
0:02:42 > 0:02:44to the eldest 10-and-11-year-olds
0:02:44 > 0:02:47of year six classes, Amethyst and Aquamarine.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Happy birthday!
0:02:49 > 0:02:54It's a school full of big characters and talented performers.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57The 60 year-six pupils will soon be leaving behind the school
0:02:57 > 0:03:00where they have enjoyed over half their lives.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05BELL RINGS It is the register.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Sh, quiet! Tatiana! I know it's difficult.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Rio?- Good morning, Miss.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14It's Monday's registration
0:03:14 > 0:03:17at the start of year six's last ever term at primary school.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And, with only ten weeks left before the end of term,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23the classmates are nervous about leaving behind
0:03:23 > 0:03:26everything they know and love about their school.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28It feels weird now because we are on top
0:03:28 > 0:03:31but then, after being on top, we go back to the bottom.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Like reception all over again.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Year six is the best year I have been in.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I like the school. It's so nice.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Even when I get told off, I get told off in a nice way.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- In year six you get benches, iPads...- Oh, yeah!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Look what I've done to Alfie. - Look what I've done to Patrick.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- I am going to miss, um... - I'm going to miss my brother.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- How can you miss your brother when you can see him at home?- Oh, yeah!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The children from Heavers Farm are moving on
0:04:05 > 0:04:08to different secondary schools all across London.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10All the parents of year sixes
0:04:10 > 0:04:13have to apply for a secondary school place for their children.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Although they can ask for a particular school,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18there is no guarantee they will get it.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So next year, with the class going their separate ways,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23it means one of the best things
0:04:23 > 0:04:25about primary school is about to change.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Friends.- Friends. That's it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31# Cos we are your friends... #
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And whilst they know they'll make
0:04:34 > 0:04:36great new friends at secondary school,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40at the moment all they can think about is the ones they already have.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Rehim. Chayi, Deehip...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46um...um...
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Autumn. Nicole. Megan. Molly.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54No, not Megan and Molly. I'm just making that up. Giovanne.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Everyone treats me nicely.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Even the bad people. They're like,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02"Hi, Glen, you want to join us?" And I'll say, "Oh, yes."
0:05:02 > 0:05:05We're like a big bunch. A big, happy family.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13As these year sixes are not going to the same school,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15it means friendships will be tested.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Some friends will be moving schools together, others will be separated.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Some friends don't know yet and can only hope they will be together.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Hello.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Patrick and Giovanne are best buds
0:05:26 > 0:05:30who next year face the prospect of going to different schools.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35For now, though, they are still an inseparable comedy double act.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Hold on, I'll tie them.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39You continue eating your chicken.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Patrick, since when did you start doing Giovanne's laces?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54PATRICK LAUGHS
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- No!- Ah! Patrick Prankster!
0:05:57 > 0:06:02And it is not just practical jokes that tie them together.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05They are also a talented musical duo.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17They may be a double act but there are some things Giovanne does
0:06:17 > 0:06:19that Patrick does not find funny.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Come on! Why do you have to be so nasty
0:06:23 > 0:06:26and spill all the juice? Urgh!
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Urgh!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29HE RETCHES
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Get some tissue!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35RETCHING CONTINUES
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Move!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Even though Patrick and Giovanne are enjoying
0:06:40 > 0:06:42their last few weeks of seeing each other every day,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46they know next year they are really going to miss each other.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Giovanne is like a brother to me. - Brother from another mother.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I wish he was my brother for real though.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57But it will take more than a change of school to split these two up.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59A future of fame and fortune awaits them.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04In year five and onwards, we have been winning talent shows
0:07:04 > 0:07:07for wrapping and beat boxing.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09In the future, I hope to be famous.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Yes, me too.- He can be my... - Partner.- Yes.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20Patrick and Giovanne are determined to be friends for ever.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23And so are Tanarj'e and Julia.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26They have been best friends for six years.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- She's my best friend.- Yes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Although it doesn't always seem like it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34She can be annoying, yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Sometimes she will just come up to me and hit me for no reason.- No.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Wait!- You had a bug on you, man.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45All their classmates can see, with this friendship, opposites attract.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Tanarj'e can be feisty... - TEACHER: Tanarj'e.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Tanarj'e, she has attitude but seriously she is so nice.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58..whilst Julia just likes to have fun.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05She is always trying to lift up people, tickle people.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09She is funny. She is cool. She has attitude as well.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I do not.- Yes, you do. - I make people laugh.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16The bickering best friends don't like to be separated
0:08:16 > 0:08:19and are delighted to be going to the same secondary school,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Harris South Norwood.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25She wanted to go to Harris South Norwood.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Then she didn't get accepted but then she got on the list
0:08:29 > 0:08:33and then the computer decided to put her in Harris South Norwood.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I was pretty excited because that's my school.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Hallelujah.- Hallelujah!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But year seven at Harris South Norwood
0:08:46 > 0:08:49is three times the size of year six,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51so the girls are desperate to be in the same class
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and soon they will find out if they are.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00But when it comes to the very best friends of year six,
0:09:00 > 0:09:01there are two names that leap out.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Kelsey P and Serrenur. - Serrenur and Kelsey P.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Kelsey P and Serrenur.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09SHE SCREAMS
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- I don't know. Someone squashed that here.- That is dead. Urgh!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17They are constantly together.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20It is like they cannot move from each other.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Throughout the whole year, I have never known them
0:09:24 > 0:09:26to fall out or to argue.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29They have such a respect for each other, I think,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33and that is quite rare. It is really sweet. It's sweet. (Sweet.)
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Serrenur and Kelsey have known each other
0:09:39 > 0:09:42since Serrenur joined the school in year two
0:09:42 > 0:09:44but they became close after Kelsey stood up
0:09:44 > 0:09:47for Serrenur when she was being picked on.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I felt sad, lonely.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55But then Kelsey told me not to worry, so I didn't.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I was just being her friend, really.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Because everyone else was being rude to her and I thought it was unfair.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09And now they really are BFFs.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11'She is a good friend.'
0:10:11 > 0:10:15She likes making people happy when they are upset.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Kelsey, she is very shy. She is the best friend I have ever had.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23She is good at being a true friend
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and being a good sister to Bethany.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28For Kelsey and Serrenur,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32the end of year six will put their friendship to the ultimate test.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38At the beginning of the school year, their families applied,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42along with everyone else, for a place at secondary school.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44A few weeks ago they heard back
0:10:44 > 0:10:47and whilst Serrenur knows which secondary school
0:10:47 > 0:10:48she will be going to in September,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Kelsey is a lot more uncertain about where she will be.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56I was really hoping to get into the school I wanted to but I didn't.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00'I was upset because they offered a school I didn't want to go to.'
0:11:00 > 0:11:04None of my friends are going there. No-one I know goes there or anything.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08And Kelsey's mum knows how worried and upset Kelsey has been.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It is such a horrible thing to go through
0:11:11 > 0:11:14when she has all of her other friends saying,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17"Ooh, I'm going to this school and that one."
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Kelsey is, "Well, I don't have one."
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Everyone in the class is talking about having a school
0:11:26 > 0:11:28and I feel left out, really.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I want to feel like that as well. All excited -
0:11:31 > 0:11:34knowing I have a school and everything.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I do work really, really hard
0:11:36 > 0:11:40and I think I do deserve a school I want to go to.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Kelsey's mind is made up.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45She doesn't want the school place she has been offered,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48so she and her parents have decided to go through the appeals process
0:11:48 > 0:11:52to try and get a place at her preferred secondary school.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The appeal is due to be heard in a few days,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58so all Kelsey can do is cross her fingers and hope.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Lunch-time in the hall and it is time to break open
0:12:09 > 0:12:12the packed lunches and scoff the school dinners.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19As usual, best mates Julia and Tanarj'e are sat together.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I've got apple juice.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I've got Sun Bites and Fruit Flakes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Let me see it. Don't touch me, man.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35There is plenty of treat-swapping going on.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Everybody is talking, sharing food, swapping, black market, like!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43"I'll give you two packs of Fruit Flakes for £1.50,"
0:12:43 > 0:12:45or I will do this or that.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I'm like, that is a rip-off. That is a rip-off.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Everything happens in the hall, really.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And, most importantly, there's gossip.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Gossip about children, gossip about what they watched on TV.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01And then they make fun of the teachers, like, acting like them.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05So funny. "Oh, look at me!"
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, no.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Thanks.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Hi, Mr Reid.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15But there is one hot topic on everyone's lips,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18who is going with who to the end-of-term prom.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20No-one has asked me so I am not going.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I am not even sure.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Glen wants to kiss her.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28No, I do not! He is lying.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- I might go with a boy.- Who? - If a boy asked me.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34It's not me. No, no, no.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41The prom is the party to end all parties.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43It is quite a big deal.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47They really enjoy it. They look forward to it all year, the prom.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52You got some chicken.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56And ladies' men Patrick and Giovanne have a cunning plan
0:13:56 > 0:13:59on how to get themselves a date for the prom.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03She is on the bench and you just move up. And then you move up again.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08You say, "How are you?" And she will say, "I am OK."
0:14:08 > 0:14:10And then you ask her out
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and then she will say she will think about it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Then, next day, you find out you are going out with her or not.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17That is wrong.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21This is the "Patronic" start. I go up to them, I play it cool.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Just take it easy. Start talking to them
0:14:25 > 0:14:29and talking to them and talking to them until I say,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31"Do you want to go out with me?"
0:14:31 > 0:14:33And then they say,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36"I will think about it, Pats. I will think about it."
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Then the next day, they say yes and I say all right.- Hallelujah!
0:14:41 > 0:14:45You go, "Hallelujah, praise the Lord!"
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Patrick has the romantic advice sewn up
0:14:51 > 0:14:55and is aiming high in his plans for the ideal prom date.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59I was dreaming about, like, I get famous
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and then be friends with Willow Smith.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I like her attitude, the way she sings.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07She will never go out with you.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You must...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- You don't know. You don't know.- OK.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16He wants me to do a rap about Willow Smith.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Imagine if she doesn't like it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Giovanne, though, is a bit more cagey.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23# La, la, la. #
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- No, I do not have a girlfriend. - Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- I do not have a girlfriend. - Don't lie. Don't lie.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- OK, I have a girlfriend.- Exactly. What's her name?- No-one.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Say it on national TV.- No. - J-U-L...
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- You really do not need to tell them. - OK.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Do not tell anyone who my girlfriend is.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48How long have you been going out, Giovanne?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Like, for two weeks.- (Three weeks.)
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yes. It is a long relationship.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57(It's true love.)
0:15:57 > 0:16:01MUSIC: "Kung-fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas
0:16:01 > 0:16:03They may have only been together three weeks
0:16:03 > 0:16:06but Giovanne had better not upset his potential prom date, Julia.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- She is the school tae kwon do champion.- All: Huh!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18But there is no time for thoughts of the prom for Kelsey.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20She has been too upset after finding out
0:16:20 > 0:16:23she is not going to school with her best friend Serrenur.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Today, her parents have a meeting
0:16:30 > 0:16:32with officials from her first-choice school
0:16:32 > 0:16:35to see if they will let her in.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36'They are trying their best
0:16:36 > 0:16:39'and trying so hard to get me into the school I want.'
0:16:39 > 0:16:42If I do, I'll be really, really happy.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50It went all right. It went OK but you never know, you know.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52There are so many parents appealing,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54so at least we have given it our best shot
0:16:54 > 0:16:57and Kelsey knows that we have given it our best shot.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01For now, they just have to wait for a decision.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Once you get to secondary school, you always have to have start again
0:17:04 > 0:17:06and find those good friends.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09'It took a long time for me to find a really good friend.'
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'm going to miss the good times with Kelsey.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25It's the last session of the day and year six's favourite, music.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27In this school, everyone loves to perform,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31have their chance to shine and show off their talents.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And today the class have divided up into groups to compose a song,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38something that is normally Patrick's and Giovanne's speciality.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43They are best buds, a musical double act,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and desperate to enjoy the last few weeks together
0:17:46 > 0:17:50before they go their separate ways to different secondary schools.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- He's more like a brother to me. - Brother from another mother.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Come on, Patrick, do something.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59But today Giovanne has chosen to join the girls' group,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02rather than stay with his beat boxing buddy.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Knowing they only have a short time left together as a musical duo,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09has meant Patrick is feeling uninspired.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I wanted Giovanne in there cos, like,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23in the group they weren't really doing anything.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25They were just doing crazy things.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28THEY HUM AND CLAP
0:18:30 > 0:18:32'Then they were starting to mess around.'
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Patrick!
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- What is going on?- It is not my type. - Not your what?- It's not my type.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44It's not your type? What is your type?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Come and show me what your type is. Come and show me.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Come on, show me.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52To help sort out the boys' musical differences,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Miss Kelly has to step in.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Giovanne, sit down.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59ALL: Yes!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03And with Patrick and Giovanne back together,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05it's time to make some sweet music.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08THEY BEAT BOX
0:19:23 > 0:19:27For now, at least, the dream team are back together.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30We don't need any girls. No girls.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Kelsey has been worried,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40as she has not known which school she is going to next year.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45I really hope to get into school. If I do, I will be really, really happy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It is a few weeks since her parents appealed
0:19:47 > 0:19:49and today they have found out
0:19:49 > 0:19:53if she will be going to school with her best friend Serrenur or not.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Basically, I asked my mum if we won on appeal
0:19:55 > 0:19:57because she does not want me to get upset
0:19:57 > 0:19:59but she knows she has to tell me.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I asked her and she said that we did not win.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05She has not got into the school she wanted
0:20:05 > 0:20:08and she won't be going with Serrenur.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I have spent five years trying to find a friend as good as her
0:20:11 > 0:20:14but hopefully I will find a friend like that again.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19But it's not all bad news.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21She does have another school to go to.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Then she told me that we got offered Edenham, so I felt a bit better.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30And Kelsey's cousin Megan, who is also in her class,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34is going to Edenham as well so Kelsey is more than happy.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37We are really close. We can tell each other everything
0:20:37 > 0:20:39and it is good to know that if I went to the school
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and it was hard to make some friends,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45I can hang out with her until I find the right friend.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Leaving the school they have known for seven years
0:20:55 > 0:20:57means a new start for year six.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Next year, they will be in different schools with different rules,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04new friends to make and new lessons to take.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Today, Serrenur and ten of her classmates
0:21:07 > 0:21:10are visiting their new school, Harris South Norwood,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14to get a trial run and become year seven for the day.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17And now Serrenur knows she won't be going to school with Kelsey,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21she is determined to make the most of today by making new friends.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I am feeling very excited. This morning, getting ready,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28my cheeks were really red because I was so excited.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I had kind of nightmares but, yes, I did get to sleep.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It does feel like my new chapter
0:21:34 > 0:21:38because I'm going to leave year six and come to secondary school.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I will meet new friends and do new lessons.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49But it is not just the challenge of new friends on year six's mind.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Harris South Norwood has nearly 1,500 pupils
0:21:52 > 0:21:55and the building is huge -
0:21:55 > 0:21:57three times the size of their old school
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and they are all worried about finding their way around.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03I am nervous that I will get lost and be late to my lessons.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07They will have homework to do, an extra hour of school a day
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and, most challenging of all,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14with the oldest children at school being 18, they'll be the youngsters.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Good morning, year six. It is lovely to see you all.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We had this event last year
0:22:23 > 0:22:25and it was lovely. The year sixes loved it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28We want you to familiarise yourself with our academy,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30so you will be moving around the building
0:22:30 > 0:22:33like you will do when you come to join us in year seven.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39And, for the first lesson, it is in at the deep end with maths.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43OK, try and do that one. Try some others.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46The step up to secondary school means much tougher lessons
0:22:46 > 0:22:48and year six is struggling.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Oh. This one could be that one.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56No, definitely this one.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I am glad I went here but it is a bit hard.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01We've got it, we've got it!
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- See.- Really? It looks like that from the side.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10- Now, does it look like that from the front?- No. Oh, no. It does. It does!
0:23:10 > 0:23:14SHE FEIGNS SOBBING
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Next up, it's science
0:23:21 > 0:23:25and the girls get a real taste of what it is like at secondary school.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Excellent. Well done. - Oh, that is really pretty.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34And before long, Serrenur and Marina
0:23:34 > 0:23:38are in a team with a girl called Katie from a different school.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I think you are burning it too much.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- She is putting something into a plug in the wall.- No.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I don't know. I can't work this one out.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Lunch time, and it has been a good morning for most people.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57But best friends Julia and Tanarj'e are not feeling so positive.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00They have always been excited about coming to secondary school,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02as they thought they would be together.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- She is my best friend.- Yes.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13But today they are upset as they have been split up
0:24:13 > 0:24:17and put in different classes. They don't even get to sit together
0:24:17 > 0:24:20for their favourite part of the day, lunch.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I don't want to sit here.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26She is the only person that I know.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31I am sad because Julia is not with me because she is my best friend.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34And I do not like being separated from her.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39While old friends Julia and Tanarj'e
0:24:39 > 0:24:43are finding the reality of secondary school tough,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45the day is going pretty well for Serrenur.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Her and her new friend Katie are getting on famously.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I spoke to Katie and she is very friendly.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59She is from Greek.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Yes, we are kind of friends now.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09With her new friend looking on,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Serrenur has a nice surprise at the end of the day.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Serrenur, if you could come down for best teamwork award.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21APPLAUSE
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Three and smile. Nice one!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I thought I was not going to make any friends
0:25:33 > 0:25:35but I made at least one today.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Awesome, wicked.- Good, cool.- Excited.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42It is going to be different because we have seen this big school
0:25:42 > 0:25:43and we know what it is going to be like.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Going back to Heavers is going to seem really little.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Best buddies Tanarj'e and Julia have been reunited
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and even though they are in different classes,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58their visit has inspired them
0:25:58 > 0:26:02that secondary school really is their natural environment.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08This morning I felt like a leaf dropping from a tree.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Now I feel like a tree.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I felt like a bumblebee and everyone else was like a moth.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17But now, I feel like a moth. Everyone else is a moth.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I don't understand it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25The class may be looking forward to their new schools
0:26:25 > 0:26:29and it may feel like the end of term is just around the corner.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32By the time we leave,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35it will feel like my whole seven years of being here has flown by.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38But there are still weeks of excitement
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and challenges to come for this year six.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44And that fear of losing touch with old friends?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Well, Glen has got the answer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49By that time I will have a Blackberry Curve.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I will be getting everyone's number and calling.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Hey, guys, how you doing? Are you ready for the summer holidays?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Coming up next time:
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Will new boy Jerry pull it together when it really matters?
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Jerry, please don't do it in the test because it's not working for you.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Nerves threaten to destroy the end-of-year-six talent show.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I can't do it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22HE RAPS: Look at me, you look like Bugs Bunny.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Patronic in the place. Cor!
0:27:26 > 0:27:30And will year six crack under the pressure of the dreaded SATs?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I had a dream that I did not pass on them
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and then when I went to secondary school I was in the low group.
