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