When you get to year six, you're the top dog in school. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
I'm never going to be 11 again. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
It's a year that's packed with emotional highs... | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Uh! Oh, my Gosh! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Yes! | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
..and dramatic lows. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
I'm just going to sit next to him. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
-No. Oh, really, that's the wrong attitude. -Ah! | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
They're going to take me to the hospital cos my hand's hurting | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
and I can't move it. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
And as year sixes start their last ever term at primary school, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
there's a lot to look forward to. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
The limos, the glamour | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
and the party of their lives at the end-of-year prom. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
The challenge of stepping into the spotlight | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
and showcasing their talent. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
The adrenalin rush and wild nights of the first trip away from home. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Pillow fight! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
But this also a time when their life changes forever. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Year six is about getting them ready to move on, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
moving on up onto that next stage. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
They have to say goodbye to their friends for the first time. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
I spent five years trying to find a friend as good as her. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
And year sixes get ready to become the new kids again | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
as they have their first taste of secondary school. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
-Well done! -Yay! | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
Leaving behind everything you know can be nerve wracking. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
I want to sit here. She's the only person that I know! | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
But it can also be something exciting and new. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
I thought I was going to make no friends, but I made at least one. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
One thing's for sure, the final term at primary school | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
will be like nothing they've ever experienced before. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
There's so much still to learn. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
Kinda like don't want to mess up for anyone, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
and I want to do my best. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
And to laugh about. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
And after that, it's time to say goodbye, year six. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Hip hip! HOORAY! | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Coming up, the pressure's on for year six as they get ready to | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
sit the dreaded SATs exams. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
And will Jerry be able to pull it together | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
and get it right when it matters? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Come on, Jerry, come on! Makes one, one, one! | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Will nerves get the better of the students | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
at the year six talent show? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
No, you can't do it. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
And most importantly, what's Tate done to his hair? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
-Yeah, it used to be like there. -That's Justin Bieber. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
At Heavers Farm School in South London, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
the summer term is well underway, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
and for year six, there's only one week until they face | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
one of the most important times in their school lives, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
their SATs exams. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
Oh, my gosh, when this month started, I was like, oh, my gosh, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
this is the month of SATs, and I was really scared. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
So I don't know how I'm going to be on the week. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
I hope I do well, but I'm not quite sure, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
I mean, it's not exactly like I'm a mind reader. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
It's really serious. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Like, you've got to be totally silent, and if you're not silent, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
then they'll take away your test paper and throw it in the bin. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
Yeah, and there's no second chances! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
The first lesson of the day means only one thing, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
heads down for more revision. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
Everyone's desperate to do well in their SATs, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
because the results will be sent to their new secondary schools. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Right, OK, what we're going to do today... We've done lots and lots | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
and lots of SATs reading, I think we've had enough with that now. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
What we need to do is do a little bit of writing, OK? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
The year six form teachers, Mrs Cousins and Mrs Shekar, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
know exactly how nerve-wracking these major exams are | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
for the children. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
It is stressful, they're all my babies and I want them | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
to do well and I just... | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
It's tough for them and it's tough for us as well. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
To be honest, we panic a bit. We're quite scared when the paper comes. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
There are only a few days of revision left, and some | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
students are worried they aren't going to get the grades they want. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
Like Serennur, who's dreading the English exams | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
because her family only speak Turkish at home. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
I'm going to feel nervous and scared, I think, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
but I hope I won't, then I will get a high mark, yeah. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
But there are one or two students who aren't letting the nerves | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
get to them, like school heart throb, Tate, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
who's actually feeling pretty good about things. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
Literacy, I'm all right. I'm not saying I'm the best. I'm all right, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
cos I can use like sophisticated words, but mostly I'm good at maths. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Think about how it looks, feels, sounds... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
But there's one pupil who has a huge challenge ahead of him. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Jerry only arrived in the UK from Nigeria a year ago. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
He's struggling with the SATs work, so today he's trying to answer | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
some test maths questions with the help of year five teacher, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
Mr Ovindon. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
What time is it ten hours after 8.00pm? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
So 8.00pm, what hour...? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
What time will it be ten hours later? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
In maths, he has taught me division, multiplication. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
If you ask me what is nine times two, he teaches me | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
with the fingers, and I'm going to miss him if I go out of school. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:16 | |
Here we go. Number line time. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Oh! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-You love the number line, Jerry, don't deny it! -No, I don't! | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
You do. Jerry, the number line is your best friend. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
What time is it ten hours after 8.00pm. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
How many hours did you have to add on? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
-Ten. -Ten. How many fingers do you have? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-Ten. -How many hours did you add on? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-Ten. -How many fingers do you have? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-Ten. -No excuse! Use your fingers. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
It's the best method there is in the whole wide world. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
It's a real sort of comical kind of working relationship that's... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
It works for them. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
They do remind me of an old married couple sometimes. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Jerry, Jerry, you're holding a pencil, you're holding a pencil, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
that means you're obstructing you from your best method. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
There we go! | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
I think Gary's very quickly, for such a new teacher, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
got a real grasp of what Jerry's about and what Jerry needs. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
If ten times seven is 70, nine times seven is going to be...? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
Oh, thanks for teaching me this. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-You're welcome! -52. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
No, 53, I mean. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
No, no, no, no, Jerry. Nine times seven is... | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
64. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
63! How many sevens in 63? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-Nine. -Nine! Huh! How many sevens in 630? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
Oh... 90. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
High five! High fives, there we go! | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Lovely, right. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
And as Mr Ovenden marks Jerry's work, it seems that he is improving. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
There you go, 21 questions, 14 right, woo hoo! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
But when it comes to the exams, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
will Jerry be able to cope without Mr Ovenden by his side? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
No, no, no, no, nothing like that. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
It's the start of lunchtime, and the canteen rush has just begun. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
But for some year sixes, their break will just have to wait. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
The detention room is where no-one wants to be spending their lunch, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
but if you do the crime, you have to do the time. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Detention is part of our behaviour policy, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
so if children are given a certain amount of chances during the day, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
and they've had a certain number of warnings, they will either | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
get a 10, 20 minute, or a whole lunchtime detention. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
Well, most of the time, it's just for foolishness, what I'd classify | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
as foolishness, giving the teacher attitude or for being late. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
Being late to school is a sure fire way to end up here. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
However many minutes they are late, it's double that in detention. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
Really bad behaviour could cost an entire lunchtime. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Right, Patrick, ten minutes starting now. Six minutes starting now. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:41 | |
Keep an eye on the clock. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
With their lunchtime at stake, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
year sixes are experts at trying to wriggle out of detention, | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
but supervisor, Mrs Colomb, has heard every excuse in the book. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
Glen, nice of you to come! | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
Yes, Miss. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
Come here, please. Where've you been? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-Business. -Sorry? -Business. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
You did know you had a ten minute detention? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
-No, not really. -So you didn't remember coming in late? | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
Yeah. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
Go and sit down. Ten minutes, Glen. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
I do love your stories. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Glen may have failed to get out of his detention, | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
but Nicole has put a little more thought into her excuse. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
I was ten minutes late this morning, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
but I'm saying it wasn't my fault cos my mummy was driving. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
Did you help your mum get ready in time to leave the house in time? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
Or was it you who made your mum late? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
-Well... Well, yeah. -Yeah, go and sit down, ten minutes! | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
It seems that when it comes to getting detention, | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
no-one does it quite like year six. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Have you ever had a day where there's no year six? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
I have to think back. No! | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Out in the playground, there is an extra buzz because the end | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
of exams will be celebrated with a year six talent show. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
Classes Amethyst and Aquamarine are full of performers, | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
and having this chance to show off their talent | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
in front of the whole year | 0:09:02 | 0:09:03 | |
is a big deal, so everyone's practicing hard to be the best. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
Mariam, Marine, Molly and Megan are hard at work rehearsing | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
a complicated Beyonce-inspired dance routine. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
THEY SING "ALL THE SINGLE LADIES" | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
And wannabe rap star, Patrick, or Patronic, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
as he likes to be known, is getting his beats on and, as usual, | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
performing well is part of a bigger game plan for Patrick. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
-HE RAPS: -Come on, on the mic come on, everybody, look at me. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
You look like Bugs Bunny. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
In year five and onwards, we've been winning talent shows for rapping | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
and beat... He's beat boxing and I'm rapping. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
In the future, I hope to be famous. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
Yeah, me, too. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
-HE RAPS: -Coming in the place dressed up nice, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
which everybody says, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Ah, Patronic in the place. Cor! | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
With less than a week before the show, | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
will Patronic get his rapping right on the night? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
The playground may be all about song and dance, but in the dining hall, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
there's only one thing people are talking about - the SATs. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
-I'm scared. -I'm not. -I am. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
-No, cos.... -SATs is hard. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
-Scared, but I think...I'll do well. -I love... -I'll try my best. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:25 | |
I'm scared of the writing paper, cos I'm not that good at writing. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
I'm not good at literacy, OK? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
To help the students combat their exam nerves, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Mrs Shekar's got a few unconventional tricks up her sleeve. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
This is cream. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
I'm getting the children to put this on their hands before they leave. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
It's quite a nice smell for them, it sort of relaxes them. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
Oops. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:48 | |
Spraying lavender water everywhere. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
I'll try not to spray on the ceiling, because it comes right on the paper! | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
We have water bottles, lavender, candles, | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-all that stuff like that. Music, everything. -Lavender? -Yeah. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-Why? -Just to calm us down. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
And Mrs Shekar's lotions and potions have given Cookie a great idea. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:11 | |
-Math Spa! -Yeah! | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
When I'm old, yeah, I'm going to open up a business | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
called Math Spa, so everyone has to do maths, yeah, in a spa. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
You know it's SATs, not spa, right? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
Math Spa! Spa Math! | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Spa Maths?! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
The exams are all Cookie and the M's can think about. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
But the boys are much more interested in Tate's new look. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
He's just had a drastic haircut. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
Who do you think Tate likes to look like? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
-BOTH: -Justin Bieber. -PUPIL: Innit? No! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
-So what happened with your hair? -I went to this shop, and this... | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
I was just sitting down, and this Russian lady was like, "Yes, please!" | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
And she walked in, then she was like, "Woooooo." | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-He has a mop. -Yeah! -It goes down like that. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
-His hair used to be all the way... -Yeah, it used to be like there. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-That's Justin Bieber. -That's Justin Bieber's son! | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-Mini Justin Bieber! -Justin Bieber's son. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
But Tate might get the last laugh, because it's not long before | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
the biggest event of the school calendar - the end-of-year prom. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
And he's already planning what he's going to wear. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
Erm, I've got my suit. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:21 | |
Yeah, it all matches, obviously, and I've got like shoes | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
that you can slip on, instead of shoes that you tie up. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
I'm going to gel my hair up, cos when I went and tried it on, | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
I looked really good, so I'm just going to gel my hair | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
and try and look similar to what it...I looked like before. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
And his new style doesn't look like it'll ruin his chances | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
of getting a date for the big night. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
A mystery love note has got the playground all fired up. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Oh, my gosh, Julia! | 0:12:45 | 0:12:46 | |
Oh! | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
It says, "Dear Tate, I love you. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
"You're the love of my life!" | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-I drew the love heart! -She drew the love heart! | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
I drew the love heart. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
And with the prom in just a couple of months, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
there's not long left to decide who's going with who. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
It's the last lesson of the day, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
and knowing year six will be facing four SATs exams next week, | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
three on maths and one on literacy, | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Mrs Cousins wants to make sure her class are feeling confident | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-about the big task ahead. -Right, are you ready? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
UNENTHUSIASTIC MUTTERING | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-We were born ready! -Thank you, Shayla! Are you ready? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-ALL: -We were born ready! -Excellent, well done. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
There's just time for some final preparations | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
before the exams next week. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
Like making name cards for their desks and arranging the classroom. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
Mrs Cousins has a special seating plan for the exams, | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
so no-one's distracted by their mates. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Tyler, I'm going to put you with Miss Papas, | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
so if you can go over to the music room. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
But Serennur's upset about where she'll be sitting | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
for her English exam. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
Sweetheart, honestly, I'm going to put you out there cos it's quieter | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
and it gives you time to concentrate. OK? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
As English is your second language, you need a bit of time | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
to concentrate, and you want it really quiet. OK? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Mr Sylvester's been working with you a lot, hasn't he? | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
So I thought you'd feel quite comfortable. OK? You'll be there, | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-and I'll be here. -Oh, OK. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
I'll come out and smile at you now and again, all right? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
So you know I'm here, OK? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:19 | |
As the students head off for the weekend, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
at least Mrs Cousins is confident they're ready for their exams. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
My class have gone into what I call "The Zone." | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
They're ready. We're ready for them. We're in The Zone, | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
we're in the SATs Zone. You can see in their face, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
they just want it to happen tomorrow. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
That class next door seem a little bit nervous, you can see | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
they're a little bit more tetchy, but every class is different. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
It's Monday morning, and a really important day for year six. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
Months of revision and hard work | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
have been building up to this moment. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-SATs. -Aaagghh! -We're going to have SATs today. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
I hope the week goes very fast, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
and I hope the test and questions are easy. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
I had a dream that I was... I didn't pass, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
and then when I went to secondary school, I was in the low group. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-Low, low, low, low, low! -I believe I can pass. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
And for Jerry, the reality of having to face the exam paper | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
without his mentor Mr Ovenden to help, is really hitting home. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
Scared today. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
-Why are you scared? -Because we're on our own. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
And they're not going to be helping us today. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
How do you think you'll be without people helping you? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Mm, I don't know. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
And when he gets in the classroom, | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
Jerry's nerves start to get the better of him. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
OK, you're not lazy, are you? You come in and you work hard. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
So you're going to be fine. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
The more you stress, the more you lose your focus, OK? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
So just keep calm, and just do your best today, all right? | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
As head teacher, Mrs Papas delivers today's English paper, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
Mrs Shekar unleashes her secret weapon, | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
the calming lavender hand cream. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Are we having the ritual of the lavender hand cream? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
Yes! Mrs Shekar's had a bath in lavender! | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
-LAUGHTER -And that's not all she's got. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
OK, mascot coming! Give it a pat, pat for good luck. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
There's a class mascot for extra luck. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
-Give it a pat. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Can I give monkey a hug? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
Does that mean you'll all do very well now, if I hug the monkey? | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
-PUPILS: -Yes. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:28 | |
You're going to have 15 minutes to read the booklet, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
which can start now. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
These exams are everything year six have been working towards | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
for months. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
They must keep calm and stay focused. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
Come on, you can do this. You're going to do a good job. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
You've got 20 minutes of writing left. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
OK, pencils down, please. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
Reece, pencil down. Jerry, pencil down, please. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
And breathe! | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
-Don't worry... -The literacy exam is over, | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
and it's time to let off some steam in the playground. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-Hallelujah! -Praise the Lord! | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
I... I was so stressed out that I drank my whole water bottle | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
in five seconds. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
I put it in my mouth, glug-glug-glug! Oh, it was hard! | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
But the big question is, how did they do? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
Tate was confident going into the exam. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
Literacy, I'm all right, cos I can use sophisticated words. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
But now he's not so sure. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
It went rubbish, cos I missed out like three questions, | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
which is all together about eight, seven marks. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Serennur was scared she would find the English exam really hard. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
I hope the week goes very fast, | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
and I hope the test and questions are easy. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
But it wasn't as bad as she'd feared. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
They were not, like, that easy. It was kind of like medium. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
Yeah, some questions were kind of hard. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
And Jerry was feeling nervous. How did he get on? | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
I almost felt like crying in that place, | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
so they had to stop me from crying. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
It was a bit hard, and I couldn't finish everything. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
With one exam down, it's time for a well-earned break, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
and focus turns to the year six talent show. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
This will be the big chance | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
to showcase their skills in front of the whole year. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
Two of the best dancers in the class, Shanade and Shardia, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
are in the hall running through a dance routine | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
with their friend, Tabitha. But Tabitha's struggling with the moves. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
MUSIC: "Dance With Me" by Olly Murs | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
I'll give you some secret... I'll give you some... | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
So wannabe choreographer Autumn steps in to help. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
Jump back! | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
THEY GIGGLE | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
Now do that, but backwards. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
It's just not happening for Tabitha. And with that, they call it a day. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
Now it's time for year six to get back in the zone, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
because there's more SATs to prepare for. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
And next up, it's Jerry's biggest worry - maths. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Jerry, Christopher... | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Determined to nail numeracy once and for all, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Jerry heads over to Mr Ovindon's for some emergency maths practice. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
Come on, Jerry, come on! | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
It's one, one, one... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-Three into 90. Three into nine three times, zero goes up. -Oh, yeah! | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
No, no, no, no! You can't add on a zero, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
that question is unfortunately incorrect. You said three. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
Anyway, this is not what I want. I want the eight times table. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
TEACHER CHUCKLES | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
I don't think you're going to get tested on the eight times table. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
I'm going to copy this and take it. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
No, Jerry, you won't have this exact test! | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
But I'll just tell them I'm working on that... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
No, Jerry, cos I'm going to keep this, you can't keep this. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
This is for me. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
-But that's the answers I'm going to be writing tomorrow. -No! | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
If you write those answers tomorrow, you'll get them all wrong, | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
because they're going to be completely different! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
Jerry, look how many we've done. Never once have I asked you | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
the same questions. The questions change all the time. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
-So it's this one... -With Jerry still struggling with his sums, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-can he pull it out the bag when it matters? -Bye! -Bye! | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
It's the morning of the final exam | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
and with three now completed, everyone's looking forward | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
to seeing the back of the SATs. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
I'm just wishing that it's over now. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
One more test. One more and it's over! | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
-Hallelujah! -'Lujah! -I don't know, looking at them, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
I'm not too sure they are taking it seriously, actually! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
But the mood changes once they get inside. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
Good luck, guys. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
Thank you. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:18 | |
-PUPILS: -Good luck, everybody. Good luck, everybody! | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
For the maths exams, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
the students have to do one paper with a calculator, one without | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
and a mental maths paper where the questions are read out to them. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Question three - divide 42 by 7. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
After four long days and four challenging exams, | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
year six can finally breathe a big sigh of relief. SATs are over. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
-PUPILS: -..four, three, two, one! | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
CHEERING | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
MUSIC: "Good Feeling" by Flo Rida | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
# Sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
# I get a feeling that I never, never never had before, no, no | 0:21:58 | 0:22:04 | |
# I get a good feeling, yeah | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
# Yes, I can, doubt that I leave I'm running with this plan | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |

# I'll be the president one day... # | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
So how do you feel now you never have to do another SATs exam? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-Happy. -Relieved! -CHEERING | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
We might have free time, like, for a couple of days. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
What do you mean, for a couple of days? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
-No, in... -For all the days! -Yeah, for... Maybe for all days. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
Most of year six are feeling good about finishing their SATs, | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
but Jerry's not exactly filling Mr Ovenden with confidence. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
-I didn't do nothing, I just guessed it. -No, Jerry... | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
TEACHER SIGHS | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
-I am guessing. -No, you're not guessing. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
Jerry, go and have a break. You need a break. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
-Don't want a break. -But you need one. -OK. -You've finished your SATs. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
-I think we should start dancing. -Yeah. Go on then, you start dancing. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:53 | |
-PUPIL: -We've finished our exams! -With the exams done and dusted, | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
at long last, it's time for this all-singing, all-dancing bunch | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
to bust some grooves in the year six talent show. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
The performers have practiced hard, the audience are ready and waiting. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
Kicking off the show, it's Tate and Cookie. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
# Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
# Can't live, can't breathe with no air | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
# It's how I feel whenever you ain't there | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
# There's no air, no air. # | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
Next up, it's Glen and Shardia. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
MUSIC: "Teach Me How To Dougie" by California Swag District | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
The M's perform their dance routine. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
THEY SING IN UNISON | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
Mariam gets the whole room jumping. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
# Sayin' ayo, gotta let go! # | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
And last but not least, it's Patronic. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
He wasn't getting his rhymes right in rehearsal. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
Patronic in the place. Aw... THEY LAUGH | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
But will he wow the crowds today? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
HE RAPS: Yeah, SATs are over | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
Now it's like I'm just eating clover now. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
I got good luck on my SATs, cos I wanna just wear that good luck hat. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
Now, when I done my SATs, I want to do it good, | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
I want to do it right, like I understood. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
Yeah, I want to conquer all of you. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
I want to know what's two times two. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE -He's nailed it. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
When it comes to rapping, no-one can touch Patronic. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
The show's been a huge success and it's proved, once and for all, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
that year six is jam-packed with performing talent. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
The long wait for exam results is over. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
It's time for the moment of truth for year six. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
All their families have come to school to meet the teachers | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
and find out what SATs levels they've achieved. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
These are marked from levels three to the hard-to-achieve level six, | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
and it seems that some have done even better than expected. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
She's got a really, really good mature style about her writing. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
You made the school proud by getting a level six. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
Oh, wow! THEY CHEER | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
We've always told him he's a lot smarter | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
than he gives himself credit for, and now he's got some proof of it. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
Exactly. Very few people in the country will be getting six, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
and he will be highest. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
And Philip, you should be very proud of yourself. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
-You got a full mark! -Are you serious?! | 0:25:29 | 0:25:34 | |
I'm so happy, I'm so happy. I just want to cry! | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
Although he was confident going into the exams to start with, | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
Tate felt he'd messed up his exams. How's he done? | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
I send him back and say, "Think again," | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
then he comes up with an amazing piece of work done beautifully | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
-in writing. -He has worked quite hard. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Turns out he needn't have worried, because he passed everything. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
As for Serennur, she was really worried about the English exams, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
because it isn't her first language. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
She's come to get her results with her dad, who only speaks Turkish. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
When she came here, she was a three. OK, when she first came here. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
-Now, da, da, da, da... -Da, da, da, da... | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
-Serennur, guess what you got for your reading? -What? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
-Five! -Oh, my gosh! | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
You got a five! | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
A five. She got a five for her reading, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
which is really, really good. Really good. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
-Are you pleased? -Yeah! | 0:26:29 | 0:26:30 | |
And what about Jerry, who really struggled with maths? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
Has all the extra work he did paid off? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
You know when we had Jerry at the beginning of the year? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
We spoke, I said I was a little bit worried about his maths. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
I'm really pleased to tell you... | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
-that he got a four. -Four. -Which is like a B. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
I give credit to Jerry. He's worked really, really hard | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
and I'm very proud of him and, you know, you should be, too, | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
cos he has tried really, really hard. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
And with that good news, | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
-there's one very important person he wants to thank. -Hello. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
Hello, sir. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:03 | |
OK, there we go. All right? See you tomorrow. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
Victory. Happy! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
She's happy, yay, yay! | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
Next time, year six get to work | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
on creating a spectacular end-of-year play. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
Stop in the name of the law! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
-Whose talent will shine? -Ooh! | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
And who will struggle under the spotlight? | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
-Get your head out of my ear hole! -As the pressure to perform... | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
-Get out, you go, and you, just go! -..pushes everyone to their limit. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
We're ready to just ditch this. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
I'm angry! | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
