0:00:02 > 0:00:04In Year Six, you're top dog in school.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'll never be 11 again.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09It's a year that's packed with emotional highs...
0:00:09 > 0:00:10SHE GASPS
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Oh, my God!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Yes!!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15..and dramatic lows.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17- I'm not going to sit next to you. - Oh...really?
0:00:17 > 0:00:20- That's the wrong attitude. - Ah...
0:00:20 > 0:00:23They're going to take me to hospital, my hand's hurting a lot,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25and I can't move it.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29And as Year Six-ers start their last ever term at primary school,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31- there's a lot to look forward to. - Well, yeah!
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 > 0:00:42showcasing their talent.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44BEATBOXING
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 > 0:00:57Year Six is about getting them ready to move on,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59moving on up into that next stage.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03They'll have to face the heartache of saying goodbye to their friends.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- He's like a brother. - She's the best thing I ever had.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09One thing's for sure, the final term
0:01:09 > 0:01:12will be like nothing they've ever experienced.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15There's so much still to learn.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I, like, don't want to mess up for anyone, and I want to do my best.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- And to laugh about. - HE LAUGHS
0:01:21 > 0:01:25And after that, it's time to say, Goodbye, Year Six.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Hip hip...- ALL: Hooray!
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Coming up, rehearsals for the school production
0:01:37 > 0:01:39put all of Year Six's talents to the test.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42No, no, no, no! I haven't time to count all this!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Will Tanarj'e's nerves cost her a place in the play?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- I don't want to do the play.- Why? - I don't want to be in it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Can Patrick cut out his clowning around?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Patrick, I'm going to take you out of this role.- Oh!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Who will crack first? The pupils...
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Get your head out of my ear hole! - I'm angry.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- ..or the teachers? - Is something funny?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Get out. You go, and you, just go. We're ready to just ditch this.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07BELL RINGS
0:02:10 > 0:02:13For the pupils of Year Six at Heavers Farm School
0:02:13 > 0:02:16in South London, the stress of the Sats exams is over,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and it's time to relax, have fun and show off some skills.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24LAUGHTER Let me have a go!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Classes Aquamarine and Amethyst are packed full of talent,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32and there's competition to prove they can be stars of the future.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The girls love to sing in class. I like to sing.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Next door is dancing. My class sings, next door is dancing.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43I want to be famous, I want everyone to know me and remember me.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- What do you want to be when you're grown-up?- Rapper!- Beatboxer.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I taught you how to beatbox!- I know. And I taught you how to rap.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- No, you didn't!- Calm down!
0:02:55 > 0:02:56In just a few weeks,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Year Six will have a chance to show how much they've grown in confidence
0:03:00 > 0:03:04in their time at school, when they perform the end-of-year play
0:03:04 > 0:03:06in front of their parents and teachers.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Well, it's a production about us, especially like,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12what's happening now, about us leaving Year Six,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14but it'll be kids playing teachers, and stuff,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16so, looking forward to that.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Miss Sparman and Miss Kelly have been given the job of making
0:03:19 > 0:03:23sure "Goodbye My Friend" is a huge success.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I'm going to be scared, cos I don't think I've ever done a play before.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Everyone's after the best parts, and the teachers have got a tough
0:03:32 > 0:03:34job deciding who's going to play who.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Do you feel like Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38LAUGHTER
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Auditions are a chance to impress teachers,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and Tanarj'e is feeling the pressure.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Can she overcome her nerves and get the part she wants?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Tanarj'e.- I thought you weren't doing it.- She is now.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Wasn't I told this morning, somewhere through the grapevine,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54"I'm not auditioning..!"?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- It's cos I'm scared of auditioning! - She's very nervous.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Because you're nervous? You don't need to be nervous.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I thought you were being a diva. No?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- No!- What part?- The TA. - The TA.- The TA.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Has everyone got a sheet?- I haven't.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Would you like... me to deal with that?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13If you wouldn't mind, Miss Tanarj'e.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Now, can anyone tell me
0:04:15 > 0:04:19how to find the area of a regular four-sided shape?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Think about the length and breadth. - That's fine, thank you very much.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- OK!- It was clear, well done. - Tanarj'e's audition was a hit.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29She's not the only one battling nerves.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Philip has his heart set on a role he thinks is ideal for him.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Ben. Cos I'm not that good at reading, and he's got easy words.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I want to be in the play, just not like, have big sentences,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44cos I won't be able to remember it all.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47But if I can't remember some of them, I'll just write it on my hand.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50When I spoke to Miss Sparman, she said,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53like, there's already been ten performers of Ben, so...
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59It'll be quite tricky to get the part, but hopefully I still can.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02But to get the part, he needs to wow the teachers in his audition.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Go on, then. - So are you guys ready for...um...
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Are you guys ready for your last day ever at... Last ever day at school?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13OK, I want you to do it without the script.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Don't read the script.- Just say it to me.- In your own words.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- So are you guys ready for the last day at primary school?- There you go!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Perfect.- See? - I guarantee I'm not going to get it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Well, no, no, no, you can't guarantee anything.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27You've done well.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The auditions might be stressful for some,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32but others relish a chance to perform.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- You'd avoid all the chaos. - I love that.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37The hustle and bustle, to and fro-ing, it leaves you
0:05:37 > 0:05:40in no doubt that another school week has well and truly begun.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- That's a lovely audition, thank you. - Thanks, Tyra.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46D'you know what's really annoying about this bus being late?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I could have had... A bowl... Another bowl of cereal.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- You're really good.- I think we need to have a bigger part...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I really do, Curtis.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Please move your lazy behinds here now!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59OK, thank you very much, Patrick.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I wouldn't like you to be my teacher! THEY LAUGH
0:06:01 > 0:06:05With lots of Year Six-ers battling for the same roles,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08the auditions are tough for best friends Mariam and Marine.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- They're both after the same part. - Think about it.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13If the bus is late on Monday morning,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16it means we arrive at school late on Monday,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18we'd avoid all the chaos.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Think about it, if the bus is late on Monday morning,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24it means we... It means that we'd arrive late...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Er...we would arrive at school late on Monday morning.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28We'd avoid all the chaos.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Thank you. Well done.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33There's a character we both want to be, called Betty.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I'm cool with it, because we just promised we'd not, like,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40have hard feelings, if one of us gets the part.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44We'll just congratulate each other. Cos that's how good friends we are.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Along with the rest of Year Six, all they can do is wait,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and hope they get the roles they want.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Thank you!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59After a tense few days, it's the moment of truth.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Time to find out who's got the parts they auditioned for.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I know that in Aquamarine, certain children wanted particular roles
0:07:06 > 0:07:09and they haven't got them. So, yeah, that could be a problem.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- I feel quite nervous! - SHE LAUGHS
0:07:12 > 0:07:14And for some, it's really good news.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Oh!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Yes! I'm Sarah! Yay!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yay! I'm Sarah!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Ooooooh!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Yes!!- No!- Yes!
0:07:27 > 0:07:28See? I told you!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31And Tanarj'e's not the only one who got the part she wanted.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Who are you?- Betty!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37With Marine cast as Betty, her BFF, Mariam,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41is going to have to settle for a role that she didn't ask for.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I can't see her!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I'm Child Two!- I'm Child Number One! - Yes. Very good part.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Child Two!- Have you actually looked at the scene?- Yeah.- You have?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- And what are you not happy about? - I don't like it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Although they promised it wouldn't damage their friendship,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Mariam is angry at not being chosen to play Betty.- I don't want it.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Why don't you want it?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Because I didn't want that part in the first place.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13I feel really bad.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Cos she really doesn't like the part she got.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I wish I could change it for her.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Can Mariam get over losing the role she wanted,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24and make up with her best friend?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's the start of a new day at Heavers Farm School.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35But before rehearsals for the play begin,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37there's urgent business to attend to.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's Seyi's birthday.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44The school tradition is, they give boys, not girls, birthday beats.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46They punch you on how old you are.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Like...- And then I did one extra for next year.- For good luck, yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52When it's your birthday,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55all your friends will give you birthday beats.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59ALL: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11! 12!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Happy birthday, Seyi!
0:09:01 > 0:09:05They all just came for me and started birthday beating me.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Happy birthday!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Yeah, happy birthday!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Birthday beats!- One...it's OK.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Birthday beats are not really a bad thing.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17They're basically another way of saying, "Happy birthday."
0:09:17 > 0:09:19THEY LAUGH
0:09:21 > 0:09:23BELL RINGS
0:09:23 > 0:09:26With only a few weeks to prepare until the big performance,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Year Six get stuck into their characters.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Last Monday morning, we just did a one-off,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and there was one before that, and the one before that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36They wouldn't hear that.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39If you forgot your kit, you'd have to do it in pants and vest.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Well done, lovely, next!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43But not everyone is happy with their part.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Best friends Mariam and Marine
0:09:45 > 0:09:49fell out after they both auditioned for the character of Betty.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53And with Mariam still upset about not being chosen,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55it's all getting a bit much for Marine.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It was what you auditioned for.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59You was like, "I want to be Betty!"
0:09:59 > 0:10:00But now I'm a teacher's pet.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Hey!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03SHE CHUCKLES
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Don't you dare get upset...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Aaahh!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Although Cookie is doing her best to cheer Marine up.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- MARINE SOBS - Don't cry.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14With a close friendship at stake,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17there's only one person who can really make her feel better.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I was coming to talk to you.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28But have they managed to get their friendship back on track?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Most of the time, there's friends like us, like,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35two people, and if they have an argument, it'll take,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37like, days for them to figure it out.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- But we're not like that. - We sorted it out.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44We're friends again, and it feels great, it feels, like, nice.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Cos you don't have fights, you don't stay away from each other,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49we can talk to each other.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Pretty cool.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51- Bye.- Bye!
0:10:57 > 0:11:01With all the roles decided, Year Six can start rehearsing together.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04But Philip doesn't seem quite so keen.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Morning, Philip!- Morning.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07You coming in?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10And have a look at your script?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Going to...
0:11:13 > 0:11:15At his audition, Philip had his heart set
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- on playing the part of Ben. - Perform Ben.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Because I'm not that good at reading, and he's got easy words.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25He impressed the teachers so much, he's been given a bigger role, Ali.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29He's shy about performing such a main character,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- so he runs through the script with Mr Rohan...- Oh, yes...
0:11:34 > 0:11:38The madness that is our Monday morning routine.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Good. Good.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44..while his best mate, Tate, stands in for him in rehearsals.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47No way, they'd never do that. He's having you on.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51I'm loving you as Ali. Philip's got shoes to fill when he comes back.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Philip knows if he wants to keep his role,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56he's going to have to overcome his stage fright.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57It's only today.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00And I have to get used to it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03While some are struggling to find their confidence,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06natural performers like Patrick are in their element.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10A talented rapper, Patrick's using his freestyling skills
0:12:10 > 0:12:13to put his own spin on the role of Lunchtime Supervisor.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15But not everyone's impressed.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17We can't prove it, so yo... So we're watching...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Sorry, what accent are we trying here?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Are we being American, are we being Jamaican?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- What accent are we trying? - Am I allowed to do accents?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Erm...are you any good at an accent?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- What accent... Are you good at a Jamaican accent?- Nigerian?!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Go on, let's see how your Jamaican accent is.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35All right...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37INDISTINCT JAMAICAN SPEECH
0:12:37 > 0:12:38OK. All right, sorry.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Ohh!- That was very good, but we still have to understand you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Shall I speak in Nigerian, then?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Can you speak it in Nigerian? All right, let's try that, then.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51NIGERIAN ACCENT: We know that you are trying to get the Infants
0:12:51 > 0:12:53to drink vinegar, erm... to drink vinegar.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54LAUGHTER
0:12:54 > 0:12:57All right, I know. Hold on, stop, stop, stop.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Stop messing about and get on with it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02We know that you are trying to get the Infants to drink vinegar,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05but we can't prove it. So we're watching you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Now get outside and remember.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11You two run, they block you, and you say, "Stop in the name of the law."
0:13:11 > 0:13:13BOTH: Stop in the name of the law!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Patrick, I'm going to take you out of this role.- I didn't do anything!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Cos you get silly with it.- You keep changing your accent.- Exactly!
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Leave him alone!- Every minute it's one accent, then it's another.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Just get off me...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27The director...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29thinks I'm being silly.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Now, are you being silly?- Maybe. Kind of silly.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36We've got your back, Audrey. Call for assistance if you need it.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38With Patrick having to rein himself in,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42his classmate, Philip, is struggling with his confidence,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and he's still not joining in with rehearsals.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yes, cos you're in this bit, Philip!
0:13:50 > 0:13:51But we have to practise it.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54We've got to practise with everybody.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Do you not want to be in it, then?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59If you want to be in it, then you've got to do this.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06'I don't know about Philip, you know?'
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I know... I know, I know.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16The day of the play is looming, and Miss Sparman expects the cast
0:14:16 > 0:14:19to begin putting more expression into their characters.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Clear voice, loud, please.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24And as ever, double-act Patrick and Jevon
0:14:24 > 0:14:26have something to say on the matter.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Some people acting, they're not putting oomph into it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31- Like...- Oomph? What's oomph?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Oh, shh. Like... I'll tell you later.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Having overcome her shyness to win the role of TA,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Tanarj'e now faces the even scarier challenge
0:14:41 > 0:14:43of performing in front of her friends.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- They look at you, you say... - Think about the length and breadth.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Really?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Think about the length and the breadth.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Can't hear you!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I need to see some expression.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56The play needs exciting up a bit.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01And this scene needs exciting up, so you need to..."Think about..." Hello?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03"Think about the length and the breadth."
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Think about the length and the breadth.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08OK, that's not going to work for me. It's not going to work.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Can I not do the play?- Why's that? - I don't want to be in it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Why?- I just don't want to.- You don't want to be told what to do?- No.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- I just don't want to be in the play. - All right.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Give the script back, I'll find someone else.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Don't have time for strops. I'll take the script.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You won't need it. 'Scuse me? Excuse me?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Thank you.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I'll be the TA for now. OK. Think about the length and the breadth.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Because sometimes I get shy, I was finding it hard to, like...
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Do it in front of other people.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41That's why I told Miss I didn't want to do it no more.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I should have probably stayed in the play, but...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I'm just going to stay out.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49For now. I might change my mind, I'm not sure.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52But with time against them,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Tanarj'e has given the teachers a real dilemma.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- What's up with Tanarj'e? - She's resigned...- Why?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Cos I asked her to use more expression.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05And she didn't like the fact that I asked her maybe two or three times.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08She said she doesn't want to do it, so we need a new TA.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09OK.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12With Tanarj'e dropping out,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14the character of TA will need to be filled quickly.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Miss Kelly thinks she has the perfect replacement in Nicole.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19ALL: Eighteen!
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Excellent! Now look, I'm dividing the rectangle in half...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26with a diagonal line. What have I made?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- ALL: Two right-angled triangles! - Love Nicole in the role.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Right, Nicole!- Love it. - You have the role.- Well done.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- As TA.- Well done. - OK. I'll give this back to Tanarj'e.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- No, no, no.- She doesn't need it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41She was fantastic in that role!
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- She was really good in it! - I know she was.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Taking over the part of TA from her classmate
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- has left Nicole with mixed emotions. - Tanarj'e has moods sometimes,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55and sometimes it's just not the right time and the right place,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and it wasn't the right time and place this time, so...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'm...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03..happy, but a bit upset for Tanarj'e.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Show time is drawing ever closer, and Philip, who has a main role,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11still doesn't seem keen on rehearsing.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Can we get this over and done with?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You see? Wrong attitude. "Get it over and done with"? No.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19And it's beginning to affect the whole production.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Tate? Can you fill in for Philip, please?
0:17:21 > 0:17:26If Philip wants to, then he will, but it's like...
0:17:26 > 0:17:29It's either... Now it's like, either he does it or he doesn't,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32because Tate can't keep stepping in and not stepping in
0:17:32 > 0:17:34and learning his lines and not.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Hopefully, Tate does it, and there's no fuss,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40or Philip joins in. If he wants to join in, that's fine,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43cos it'll be nice if he's in it, cos he's a part of Year Six.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Knowing some tough decisions need to be made,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Philip's teacher, Mrs Shekhar, steps in for a heart-to-heart.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Now, this production, do you want to be part of it?- Mm-hmm.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I asked Miss Kelly, can we do it now, cos I want to play.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Aah, so do you think that would go down well?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It's an important role you're doing, isn't it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So what we're going to do is get you another part in the play.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Is that OK? We'll change the Ali part
0:18:08 > 0:18:12to make it something that is quick, so you can get on, do that part,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and get on with what you're supposed to do. Is that all right?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Is that all right?- Yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Yeah...- Thank you, Philip.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23At last, Philip has officially handed his role over to Tate,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and he's happy to take centre stage in the chorus.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'm no longer Ali, but I don't care.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Cos I'd never have remembered it all.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32I'm in all the songs.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34# Six o'clock already
0:18:34 > 0:18:37# I was just in the middle of a dream... #
0:18:37 > 0:18:40With Philip finally finding a role he's comfortable with,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Tanarj'e is also having second thoughts about quitting.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48- Miss Sparman? Tanarj'e said she would like a little part.- OK. Good.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- That's good.- But just when things seem to be going right,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53there's another problem.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Now even Curtis, who's got a main speaking part in the play,
0:18:56 > 0:19:01- isn't co-operating.- It's not surprising teachers get wound up.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Slow down, be louder. - Last week I came a right cropper...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- No!- Full stop!- You're not stopping!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Full stop.- There's a full stop.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Do you not know your lines in Scene Two?
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Curtis?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- You need to learn your lines.- Mmm.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20We haven't got long until the actual production.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23You've got important lines, you're important.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25You're good at Ben, but you must learn lines.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Let's take a script next door, and start learning our lines.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- I'm not going to sit next to you. - Oh...really?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- That's the wrong attitude. - We can't have this attitude.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Listen, we're ready to just ditch this.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Reluctantly, Curtis takes his script to learn his lines.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43But it's not long before he's changed his mind.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46..But we're in Year Six now, aren't we?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Despite everyone's best efforts, Curtis refuses to join in.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Come on, Curtis. We need you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- You should be proud! You've got the best part...- Leave him alone!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Get your head out of my ear hole!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05And with rehearsal time running out,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08the end-of-year play's reaching crisis point.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17The production is not going on well.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Everyone's attitude, they use attitude in the class,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23but they can't show it for them when they're doing a production.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27And it seems even Miss Sparman is starting to lose faith.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29So far, not so great.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We might have to do some swap-rounds,
0:20:31 > 0:20:36scrap the whole thing, maybe, and start again, I don't know.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37I don't know.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45With the entire production on the brink of collapse,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48everyone gathers in the hall to practise the grand finale.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- But the rehearsal gets off to a bad start.- Hello? Waiting!
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Sorry, who else is having a chat? Someone's not bothering to listen.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'm trying to tell you the dance instructor is going to come in
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and teach us... Oh, get out, Kyrone, just go away.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07If you just want to be clowning around all...
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Is something funny, Javel? Get out, you go. And you, just go.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's the last straw for Miss Sparman.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16She calls off the whole production.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20People started talking, and, erm... not listening to the teacher,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and they got sent out of the hall.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yeah, Miss just got really angry, and she was like,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27"Get out of the hall! Now!"
0:21:27 > 0:21:28And then there was no production.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32It's, like, a real bummer, because I had a good part,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and we were trying to work really hard,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37but then some people couldn't take it seriously.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- And my dad was going to come! - So was mine!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43For the first time in the history of Heavers Farm,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45it looks like there'll be no Year Six production.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49It's devastating news for some classmates.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I don't think it's fair on the people that do behave.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Mmm, like us.- I feel embarrassed.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Cos all the other Year Sixes have held a production,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00and now except for us, we won't have a production.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02We broke the record, we're not doing it.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I'm angry. I'm angry at them.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Because, like, it happens all the time,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10we'll do something, we won't do anything bad,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14and then the others will stop something good from happening to us.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18And, yeah, it's happened again.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19This is really annoying.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Determined to turn the situation around,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Amethyst class teacher Mrs Cousins
0:22:24 > 0:22:27has a heart-to-heart with Miss Sparman.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32I'm just... The thing is, it's the same children every day.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35And it's just been a build-up, and a build-up, and a build-up...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Shame, you're spoiling it for everybody else.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40And she calls an emergency class meeting.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Right, I'm not very happy, to be honest,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45what's happened with this production. I'm really not.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49We have done this for you. Now, let's just have a vote on this,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52who would actually like to do the production? There we go.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It was the last straw, really,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and I've got to do a lot to convince her,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and YOU'VE got to do a lot to convince her
0:22:58 > 0:23:02that actually we want this production to happen.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- So any suggestions? Serrenur.- Miss! - We should write a class message.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08A class message, OK.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Do a petition? - Petition? Explain what you mean.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Like, we get a piece of paper, then someone writes on it, like,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20"Sorry, Miss Sparman, we promise that we will not talk while...
0:23:20 > 0:23:24"during a scene, and don't laugh at you."
0:23:24 > 0:23:27And all the things that we did wrong, and turn them around.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- And then get everyone to sign it. - Right, do we agree?- ALL: Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34What if they break it, though, Tyra, what should be the rule?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- You don't do the production. - You don't do it at all.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Amethyst class have decided anyone who misbehaves during rehearsals
0:23:41 > 0:23:44will be permanently removed from the production.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48And Mrs Shekhar's class are prepared to put even more on the line.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49This is the contract,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51if you get kicked out of the production,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54maybe your chances of going to the prom are taken away.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56If you miss the production due to behaviour,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59you're not invited to the prom. Mm?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00- Mm.- OK.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Year Six get straight to work on the contracts.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07These promise that if anyone gives less than 100%,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10they'll miss the show, and be banned from the prom.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11The prom!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Ahh...that's going to be a fun day.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17This will be the biggest night of the year for classes
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Amethyst and Aquamarine.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It's the party no-one wants to miss.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25I can't wait till prom, because I get this special dress,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and it's because it's the last time that you can ever spend...
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- quality time with your friends.- These guys take the prom seriously, like,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35this is the ball, this is the everything.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Everyone knows the price to pay if they mess around in rehearsals,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41but can Year Six make the production a success?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44And will they all make it to the prom?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Some people might have already got dresses, and...- And they cost a lot.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52I'm going to behave, cos I'm usually good in class.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Usually.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Not all the time.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Yeah, yeah, I think I'm going to behave, yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I don't know.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01I don't make promises.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's the morning of the dress rehearsal,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and this is Year Six's big chance to impress Miss Sparman,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and show her they have what it takes to make the production a success.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Dreading it. Dreading it, dreading it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's her decision whether the play goes ahead,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and if anyone gets to go to the prom.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27This is it. The loudest voice you can possibly come up with.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31So far, they've only practised in private, but that's about to change,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35as Key Stage One pupils have been invited along to watch.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's the first time they're going to perform
0:25:38 > 0:25:39in front of an audience.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So let's give them a big clap first.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Things get off to a shaky start, as the cast struggle with their lines.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Then we'll be late on Fri...on...
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Then we'd arrive late at school on Friday instead...on Monday instead.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Do none of you lot care about an area...
0:25:55 > 0:25:57No! I've got...
0:25:59 > 0:26:03However, once they get going, there are some signs of improvement.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Here's my slip.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07No, no, no, no, no! I haven't got time to count all this!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Just sit down, I'll do it later!
0:26:09 > 0:26:10LAUGHTER
0:26:10 > 0:26:14And although Patrick gets a little over-excited...
0:26:14 > 0:26:16AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:26:16 > 0:26:19..the Key Stage One kids seem to be enjoying themselves.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Despite a few bumps along the way, the audience loved it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26But what will hard-to-please Miss Sparman say?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29The only thing that I am going to beg for, volume!
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Volume in your singing, and volume in your voices when you're acting.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Volume, volume, volume.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I don't mind if you mess up lines, that's not an issue,
0:26:37 > 0:26:42cos that can happen. Nicole. Friday or Monday, I wasn't sure.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Friday or Monday? I really like the production now.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Give yourselves a round of applause, we've got it!

0:26:53 > 0:26:57And soon they'll be performing the biggest show of their lives.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Like, other practices, we all messed up,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03and there weren't that much messing up in this one.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Everyone was really lively at the end.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08And we showed a different attitude than we would
0:27:08 > 0:27:11when we were rehearsing without the costumes and stuff.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I think I did good. I was confident, and I knew my lines.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17So... I just hope it went well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18But I enjoyed it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Next time...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26A trip to the end-of-year adventure camp pushes everyone to their limit.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- It's hard!- Will a playground disaster ruin everything for Serena?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33They're going to take me to hospital,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35cos my hand's hurting a lot, I can't move it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And can Year Six put on the show of their lives
