0:00:02 > 0:00:04SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Each September, half a million children begin the most
0:00:07 > 0:00:09important year of school so far...
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Year Seven.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20CBBC have rigged this secondary school with loads of cameras,
0:00:20 > 0:00:22so you can see exactly what happens...
0:00:23 > 0:00:26..as they make new friends...
0:00:26 > 0:00:27and get into trouble.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31If you wish to find out how strict I can be
0:00:31 > 0:00:33then break the rules I set down.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I'm not spotting make-up there, am I?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38But what they learn here
0:00:38 > 0:00:41will stay with them forever.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hello, there, I'm Mr Thoburn and I'm a science teacher here.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51If you've ever wondered what secondary school is like
0:00:51 > 0:00:53here's your chance to find out.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54This is Our School.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56HE BELCHES
0:00:56 > 0:00:57How can you do that!?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03It's the start of a new school year,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and along with 221 Year Seven students,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10there are some fresh recruits amongst the staff too.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Today on Our School we meet
0:01:12 > 0:01:15two newly-qualified teachers keen to impress.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Miss Gibbons, who's joining the Creative Arts team,
0:01:18 > 0:01:23and Mr Glendenning, who will be teaching Design and Technology.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We'll also be exploring school life with more experienced staff members
0:01:26 > 0:01:28like myself, Mr Thoburn. I teach Science.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And our wonderful Head Cook, Julie.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Feet together and everybody looking here.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Both our new teachers have been given responsibility
0:01:36 > 0:01:38for Year Seven forms.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And it's not just the students who get nervous.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45This is my first real teaching experience.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Um, I'm sure I'm sharing the same sort of emotions
0:01:48 > 0:01:51and feelings as all of the new Year Sevens.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53A bit of excitement, a bit of nervousness,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55probably a lot of sleepless nights.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We're all in the same position, which is brilliant.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03They're new, I'm new so, yeah, no, I think we're all in it together now.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06For students who get dropped off early,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08the school runs a breakfast club.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11It's run by Head Cook, Julie, and what better way to start
0:02:11 > 0:02:14the day than with one of her cooked breakfasts?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Two sausages, bacon, beans and toast?- Yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22The food that they have is to die for, to be honest with you.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25It's also a good place for a bit of a sing-along.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Aren't you supposed to say something?- What?!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30# I like mine with a kiss! #
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- JULIE LAUGHS - Have you heard them singing?!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37She makes people laugh, she's just really funny.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39That's the main thing.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41No, you've got to start with...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43# How do you like your eggs in the morning? #
0:02:43 > 0:02:45There's always a few that stand out,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49and when you get young Daniel that comes in on a morning...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53I mean, we've even got them singing cos we always have a bit of a
0:02:53 > 0:02:57natter and a bit of a laugh, because it's quite laid back on a morning.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01# How do you like your eggs in the morning?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04# I like mine with a kiss!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07# Boiled or fried?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12# How do you like your bacon in the morning?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16# I like mine with a...
0:03:16 > 0:03:19# I like mine with a hug! #
0:03:19 > 0:03:21JULIE LAUGHS
0:03:21 > 0:03:23With a hug!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The other bit - "how do you like your toast in the morning"?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29# I like... # No, hang on...
0:03:29 > 0:03:31How's it go?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Well, Julie, it goes something like this.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34# How do you... #
0:03:34 > 0:03:37All right, actually, on second thoughts,
0:03:37 > 0:03:38I'll leave it to the experts.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41# How do you like your eggs in the morning?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44# I like mine with a kiss
0:03:44 > 0:03:46# Boiled or fried?
0:03:46 > 0:03:51# I'm satisfied as long as I get my kiss
0:03:51 > 0:03:55# How do you like your toast in the morning?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59# I like mine with a hug
0:03:59 > 0:04:01# Dark or light?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05# The world's all right as long as I get my hug
0:04:05 > 0:04:12# I've got to have my love in the morning
0:04:12 > 0:04:18# Or the rest of my day is positively mayhem
0:04:18 > 0:04:21# I'm a regular monster
0:04:21 > 0:04:24# How do you like your eggs in the morning?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27# I like mine with a kiss
0:04:27 > 0:04:29# Up or down?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31# I'll never frown!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34# Eggs can be almost bliss
0:04:34 > 0:04:39# Just as long as I get my kiss. #
0:04:39 > 0:04:41By the time most people arrive at school,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Julie's already been on duty for a couple of hours.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47So it's time for a break and a bit of a chat.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Are you doing anything nice over the weekend, guys?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Yeah, playing on my iPad, playing on my iPhone,
0:04:53 > 0:04:59watching TV, playing on the Xbox, playing on the PS3 - that's five.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- I think that's it. - What about outdoor games?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05OK, hmm... No.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07'It must be quite daunting for them
0:05:07 > 0:05:10'coming in to a strange place, you know.'
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I'm hoping that they can come to us if they need to as well
0:05:13 > 0:05:16as the teachers, we want to be part of that, part of the school.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21So if they've got a problem, come to us too cos we want to make it
0:05:21 > 0:05:25so, you know, we're quite accessible for that.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Cuppa tea!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I'm getting into trouble, I'd better go.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Ah, do you know what? I've been here 16 years, you know?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And I still don't know my way around the school, all of it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- It's quite a big school, isn't it? - Hmm.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46I'll have to go now because that dragon in there,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50that dragon in there in the red, is giving me evil eyes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Julie's quickly broken the ice with some of the new Year Sevens
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and everyone's beginning to find their feet.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00So, are new teachers Mr Glendenning and Miss Gibbons
0:06:00 > 0:06:03overcoming their nerves and finding their feet as well?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Who likes my to-do list?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Very nice! - Thank you.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It certainly looks like it!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Were you asleep yesterday in assembly?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- I think so. - Right, fair enough.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Can you tell me what your first name is?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Right, keep it a secret. - Even I know it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23If people find out my real name, I might have to kill you!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I would like a volunteer.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Sh, sh, you don't even know what I'm going to say!
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I might say, "go clean the bins!"
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Seems as if he's making a good first impression.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I wonder what his students will think
0:06:39 > 0:06:42when they discover that outside of school he's a bit of a hero!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48For the past seven years Mr Glendenning's been
0:06:48 > 0:06:51a volunteer for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution -
0:06:51 > 0:06:55a charity that responds to coastal emergencies 24 hours a day.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I was first joined with the RNLI through a friend.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04He'd been part of the lifeboat crew for quite some time
0:07:04 > 0:07:08and one day he said, "Why don't you come down meet the crew
0:07:08 > 0:07:10"and see if you want to join?"
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So I thought, "Why not?" and I've been with it pretty much ever since.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The crew get called out an average of 100 times a year
0:07:23 > 0:07:26so they need to be at the top of their game,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29which means they take their training very seriously.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40When he's not teaching, Mr Glendenning is always on call.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46He has to be ready to drop everything
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and use his lifesaving skills.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55As volunteers, we come down twice a week for training.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Everything from man overboard exercises...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01First aid is quite important.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Man overboard!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It's important to keep the skills fresh.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12The man overboard is not something which we commonly come across,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15but they are important skills to keep, just in case
0:08:15 > 0:08:18something like that does happen, cos it could happen.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Two metres!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22'You always do feel good
0:08:22 > 0:08:25'when you've been able to do a successful rescue.'
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I wouldn't say I'd go out and have a party
0:08:27 > 0:08:29but you do feel happy.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Casualty on board!
0:08:31 > 0:08:32SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Back at school, the other new teacher, Miss Gibbons, isn't letting
0:08:36 > 0:08:38any of her class out of her sight.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Follow me all this way, OK?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The worst thing I'm dreading is they all get lost.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Um, I don't want them to be panicky, I don't want them to be worried.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49To help them, she sets her form a challenge.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52In your planner, there is a map.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Who can find the map first? Go!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Is that the map of the school?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Not the map of the world, the map of the school.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Um, I don't remember there being a map of the school in the planner.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Come on, an easy way would be starting from the front
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and working your way back.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I hope they've printed it in your planners
0:09:09 > 0:09:11now you're all searching for them!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Well...
0:09:12 > 0:09:13It should look like this on the board.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Should be looking for something like this.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Please say it is in your planners after you've searched for this long.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Can I borrow your planner?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It might not be in there, they must not have printed it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Right, that was a little game for you!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I was just putting you to the test,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30to make you look through your planners.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32She may still be finding her feet in the classroom,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36but like Mr Glendenning she has an amazing hidden talent.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Wow! I was not expecting that!
0:09:45 > 0:09:49# A little party never killed nobody... #
0:09:49 > 0:09:52A gymnast since the age of four, she's still part of
0:09:52 > 0:09:55an award-winning display team called Question.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57# A little party never killed nobody
0:09:57 > 0:09:59# Right here, right now... #
0:09:59 > 0:10:03'Gymnastics has been my passion for years.'
0:10:03 > 0:10:05You can't even describe it, it's...
0:10:05 > 0:10:08The amount of adrenaline that you get when you're going on the floor,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09It's just immense.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13If the routine's been amazing, having the huge crowd cheer you,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15it is... It's a brilliant feeling.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23As well as dancing, sports-acro involves a lot of balancing.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28And that involves such close team work from the base, all the way
0:10:28 > 0:10:33right to the top, everyone has got to be exactly in the right position.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I think it helps that we're all best friends.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38We've all grown up together.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It doesn't matter if we drop each other then.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Stop shaking!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- I was like that!- She was stood there like that!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Yeah, just don't put it in. Don't put the balance in.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53That's just dangerous.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55To be a good gymnast, I think you need to be confident,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58you need to have that drive to just throw yourself up there
0:10:58 > 0:11:01or throw yourself down a tumble track, in case you do fall.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05If you ask me, teaching a group of Year Sevens is a bit like throwing
0:11:05 > 0:11:07yourself down the tumble track - you can end up dizzy
0:11:07 > 0:11:12and unbalanced, so I'd say it's perfect training for her new job!
0:11:12 > 0:11:13SHE SCREAMS
0:11:13 > 0:11:15LAUGHTER
0:11:20 > 0:11:22SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's the first lesson of the day, double science with me, Mr Thoburn.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27What could be better?!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Yes, yes, yes!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34YES!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36That's the kind of enthusiasm I like to see!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39All I've got to do now is learn this lot's names.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41If I pronounce your name wrong...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44tough, that's how we pronounce it from now on.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46All right?!
0:11:46 > 0:11:47- Isabelle.- Yes, Sir.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50OK, do we use Isabelle or Izzy?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- I don't mind.- Fair enough, I'll call you George!
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Where's Donna?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Crossleigh-Knights, what a magnificent surname.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You sound like you should own a very posh restaurant.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Salma? Yes, hello, very good.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04- Where's Connor?- Yes, sir.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Is your last name Jinks? - Yeah.- That is sweet.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09That is a quality name, I'm jealous.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Tandy Humour, who's that?- Me.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15That's like my favourite name ever, I'm going to name my kids that!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Mr Thoburn's funny as! - Really funny, like.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- He's the best teacher.- Yeah. - He's my favourite teacher.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22He's really cool.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I really like Mr Thoburn because he's very funny.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26- AS YODA:- Learning science, we are!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28LAUGHTER
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- And he's very crazy. - Like you!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- And you.- I know.
0:12:33 > 0:12:40I understand that Chloe, you tried to bring me some work in,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and I have marked it, but that sort of...
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Yeah, that looks like it's been through the digestive system
0:12:46 > 0:12:47of a cat!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50He's probably the funniest teacher I've ever met
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Stop enjoying yourself, remember you're in school.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And cos he's a Geordie it makes him even better
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I don't even know if he even knows that we're twins!
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Very nice, look at you, highly skilled Bunsen burner enthusiast.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Excuse me, who's is this?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Why is there a smouldering stick on my desk?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- What's this called? - A fire mat.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12A heat-proof mat, which means it's heatproof
0:13:12 > 0:13:13so you can put that on there.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Table's burn, that doesn't.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18If I burn myself, it's me own stupid fault.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22If one of the kids gets burnt, it's still my fault.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23So I take it very seriously.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And it will come to that point when I'll stop a lesson.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Whoa, whoa, whoa, oi!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It's not there to protect your fringe, is it, chief?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Pay attention. My friend here, who has a very protected forehead,
0:13:35 > 0:13:36but his eyes are at risk.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40'If I see something that's sort of going on that shouldn't be,'
0:13:40 > 0:13:44'I'll stop a lesson and just get everybody to just turn around'
0:13:44 > 0:13:45and we'll talk about what's happened
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and what should happen and what I don't want to see,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52and so on and so forth, and then I'll let them get on with it again.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56'They might think I haven't noticed, but nothing gets past me.'
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Most of you did extremely well. I was very impressed.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You're so safe you're still wearing your goggles.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Erm... Does everybody think it was perfectly safe?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Or were there mistakes that might have been made
0:14:11 > 0:14:13that we can think about for next time?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15What do we reckon?
0:14:17 > 0:14:24- Erm, not to have two people lighting the Bunsen burner.- Yeah. OK?
0:14:24 > 0:14:30What I did was, I saw two people lighting a splint at the same time.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34One person to light the candle, and one person for fun.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Gentlemen.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41But I'm fairly sure the person I caught lit it and just blew it
0:14:41 > 0:14:44straight out again, for the fun of lighting stuff. OK?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Now, friendly warning, all right?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50When we trust you to do practical work,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52we expect you to be safe, OK?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54OK.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55OK.
0:14:56 > 0:15:007AG are turning out to be a loud bunch, but when they do push it,
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Mr Glendenning has a secret weapon up his sleeve.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Nobody wants to experience the wrath of the angry face.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18GROWLING
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Is that what it was? Is that you're angry face?- No, I try to stop it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32He goes like this.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34He goes like that.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I didn't see it. What did it go like?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38He really clenches his face and then
0:15:38 > 0:15:41his cheekbones, like, wobble, wobble.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43His cheeks go...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I can't do it, but he goes like that then shakes his face.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Dead weird.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- I can't do it.- He goes...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55The only problem with the angry face is that the kids find it
0:15:55 > 0:15:58so funny, they're not really taking it very seriously.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Calm down.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Angry face, angry face! - I nearly did, I nearly did.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Do it, do it! We didn't see it.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I only save that for special occasions.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Meanwhile, over in 7CG, Miss Gibbons has her own rowdy pair to deal with.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Kyran and Alex have discovered that
0:16:14 > 0:16:16there's more to their new teacher than meets the eye.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- Do you do gymnastics?- Yeah. I used to do it with his mum.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25You can hold your handbag and then do backflips down the stairs,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- and then, and then you can, like, cartwheel all the way home!- No.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Or, like, you know that thing where you run and then you
0:16:33 > 0:16:36flip in the air and turn around and land on your feet, can you do that?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Yeah.- Swanky!
0:16:38 > 0:16:41OK, then.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Ben is going to go next, OK, so if we can all be quiet.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Close your mouth.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50He said swanky!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Kyran looks like he's a bit of a handful.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56He's pushing the boundaries at the minute.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00He's seeing what he can get away with during tutor time, definitely.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Just does not be quiet. His mouth is always open.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05He just makes me laugh, as well,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08though, so I feel like I can't tell him off just yet.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10You're not meant to laugh, you're the teacher!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12He's too cute to tell off.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Right. Can you two settle, please? - OK.- Yes.- Settling down.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Because you will be split up, I'm not lying.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- I can't stand quietness. - I love it. So let's be quiet.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Over in the canteen, something strange has happened to Julie.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Je m'appelle Julie.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35The school is holding an international languages day.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37The canteen will be serving European food
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and no-one will be allowed to speak English.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Voulez-vous...
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- Is that voulez-vous or vol-au-vent? - SHE LAUGHS
0:17:47 > 0:17:51That's the one. Hey, we should dress up as ABBA instead, shouldn't we?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55I'm going to try and learn a bit of French to talk to the children.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59"Je voudrais" is "I would like." OK?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00So you say...
0:18:00 > 0:18:04If you would like a croissant, OK, that is just croissant.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Yeah, cos it's French.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11If all fails, just do the accent, OK?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13PUPILS IMITATE FRENCH ACCENT If you get stuck...
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- BOY, IN FRENCH ACCENT: - I am a French King and I would like a pain au chocolat!
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Fantastic!- Oui, oui, oui! - I thought you were French.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22How good's that?!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Right. If all else fails, make sure you do that accent.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29If you would like a hot dog, that is German, so you must say "hallo."
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Well, OK. I suppose I'd better get into the spirit of things!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Je m'appelle Monsieur Thorburn
0:18:35 > 0:18:38et je voudrais un croissant, s'il vous plait.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43JULIE SPEAKS FRENCH:
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Buongiorno. Vorrei un pezzo di pizza, per favore.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Oh, right! - JULIE LAUGHS
0:18:54 > 0:18:56That didn't last long, then!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58If they're going to speak in English, so am I.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Oui, oui, oui!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Oh, and by the way - love the hat.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Voila!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Bonjour.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Does anyone know the French for biscuit?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Er, biscuit...
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Bis... Bis...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Oh, it IS biscuit.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Biscuit.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18That'll do.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So how do you think you did, Julie?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Ooh...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I'm no good at speaking French or German.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Merci!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30No more for another year, please! SHE LAUGHS
0:19:30 > 0:19:34International Languages Day doesn't stop at the canteen.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37And, for some students, learning a new word,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39like hello in Japanese, for example,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42gives them a chance to be...slightly irritating.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Konnichiwa, Georgia.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Konnichiwa!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Konnichiwa.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53All right, shut up!
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Konnichiwa!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You're getting well annoying now, kid.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I think we can safely say that hello in Japanese
0:19:59 > 0:20:02is one word this class won't forget in a hurry.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Luca, konnichiwa.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Shut it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Today, 7AG and 7CG are off on their first school trips.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Miss Gibbons' form are heading to Gymworld
0:20:15 > 0:20:19whilst Mr Glendenning's are off on a tour of the local lifeboat station.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It's a chance to find out more about their new teachers.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Will the excitement prove too much?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32So far, 7CG seem to be behaving like angels.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34But Mr G's lot on the other hand...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Are we nearly there yet?!
0:20:36 > 0:20:37What a rowdy bunch!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Yeah!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Poor Mr Glendenning.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Miss Gibbons really wants to impress her class
0:20:45 > 0:20:48and show them what a great hobby gymnastics can be.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51And this is the ideal place,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54with everything from balance beams and monkey rings
0:20:54 > 0:20:56to a very bouncy floor.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57OK, guys!
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Excuse me.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03OK, guys, so we're at Gymworld.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05We need to be very sensible.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07OK? There's a lot of dangerous equipment here.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09What we're going to do is mainly be based on the floor, OK,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13and we're going to do some kind of team building and group activities.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14- Can you stop bouncing?- Sorry.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17It'll be a good chance to actually see what they're like
0:21:17 > 0:21:18outside of the classroom.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20So, yeah, I think it was just...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22give them an opportunity, see how fun it is,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26and to see what kind of things that you can do with it
0:21:26 > 0:21:29rather than just dancing around, kinda thing.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31OK, this is a massive part of my life.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34So, I've been doing it since I was four, OK,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37and I will show you some later on, OK,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39and I will get involved with you. OK?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42So make me proud. I want a class full of gymnasts!
0:21:42 > 0:21:43OK?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Everyone's letting off a lot of steam.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Miss! My feet can't touch the floor!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02For someone like Kyran, it's a dream come true.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Are you like this at home, Kyran? - What, hyper? Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Do you bounce around the house? - Mm-hm.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12How many beds have you broken from bouncing on them?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- About two.- Two?- Yeah.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16That's quite good going, actually.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I thought it would be a bit more than that.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19# She's got me dancing
0:22:19 > 0:22:21# She's got me dancing
0:22:21 > 0:22:22# She's got me dancing... #
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It looks like 7CG are having a whale of a time.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28# She's got me dancing
0:22:28 > 0:22:30# She's got me dancing
0:22:30 > 0:22:31# She's got me dancing
0:22:31 > 0:22:34# And she's always one step behind
0:22:34 > 0:22:36# She's got me dancing
0:22:36 > 0:22:38# And she's always one step behind. #
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Over at Sunderland lifeboat station,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Mr Glendenning is impressing 7AG with the vast array of equipment
0:22:51 > 0:22:54that the RNLI needs to save lives.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Any volunteers who might want to wear this helmet?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Me!
0:22:59 > 0:23:00- Yeah?- Yes!
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Right, so what I'm going to do,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05you're going to grab hold of that helmet, you're going to put it on...
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Mind your glasses, make sure they're going to be nice and safe.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Perfect.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10LAUGHTER
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Very good.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18One vital piece of equipment is the dry suit.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Designed to keep out the water in the harshest conditions,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Mr Glendenning wants to show just how effective it is.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30But he hasn't bargained on the power of an 11-year-old
0:23:30 > 0:23:31armed with a hose.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Um, Iman managed to somehow get me wet,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43even though I was wearing a full dry suit.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Don't know how he did that,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46but he's obviously only small,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49so he could get in all the nooks and crannies.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54That's refreshing!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56That was me!
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I think Mr Glendenning is making quite a splash with 7AG.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Meanwhile, and here's a sentence I never thought I'd say,
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Miss Gibbons is trying to persuade her class to form a human pyramid.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11He's going to squish!
0:24:11 > 0:24:12You won't squash him, honestly.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14He will!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17But little monkey Kyran doesn't need asking twice.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Yeah, buddy!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I'm the tallest in the world!
0:24:25 > 0:24:27What goes up must come down.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28I'm going to fall...
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Right, OK, hold my hands and jump down.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Ow...- Just come straight off, I've got hold of you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Keep your arms straight.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Don't jump, just fall forwards, come on.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- What do you mean, fall forward? - Off.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Aaah!- Get off!
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Kyran's been brilliant today, actually.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44He hasn't played up.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46He's a little bit hyperactive,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50but he's usually excitable anyway, so it's no different to every day.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52So - but he's been brilliant.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53They all have, actually.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55OK, brilliant. Let's get down. Well done!
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Aaah!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02With the school trips coming to a close,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06there's just enough time left for Mr Glendenning to show a bit of flare.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08See what I did, there? "Bit of flare"?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13And Miss Gibbons finishes her session
0:25:13 > 0:25:15by showing just a little of what she can do.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Make sure you're watching, because I will not be showing you this again.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Go on, Miss!
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Ooh!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27That was awesome!
0:25:27 > 0:25:31When she did the flip, I was amazed like that,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34because I've seen it a few times before,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37but I didn't think that, like, just like an ordinary person
0:25:37 > 0:25:40like a teacher could do something like that.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43In class, she doesn't do flips and stuff,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47and jump up and down in class. Cos she's wearing heels.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Miss Gibbons is amazing at gymnastics.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51She was doing this cartwheel,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and then she did, like, all these weird, like, cheerleading things,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56and it was really cool,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and I can't imagine any of the other teachers doing it,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00but she was really cool.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Bunny hop over.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I think it went brilliant, I think they did love it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I think it's made them a little bit closer.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Having them climbing on each other
0:26:08 > 0:26:11is breaking that barrier of distance between them...
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and having a bit of a bond, really.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Just a few weeks into her teaching career,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21and Miss Gibbons has the admiration of all of her class.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Miss Gibbons! Miss Gibbons!
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Mr Glendenning has also succeeded in wowing his form.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I think Mr Glendenning is like a superhero, cos of what he did.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Like, you can be anywhere,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35and then you can get this phone call to save someone's life.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I think that's just really cool.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40He's a big teddy bear.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45He's a big lovey-dovey teddy bear.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47And he takes care of ya.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Year Seven is a time of great change,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54but it doesn't have to be daunting experience.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58If you're surrounded by supportive, dedicated and inspirational teachers
0:26:58 > 0:27:03you're going to have a lot of fun and create some lifelong memories.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Oh, and hopefully learn the odd thing or two.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Anyone, I'm stuck!
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Anyone?!
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Next time on Our School...
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Ewan's behaviour challenges the teachers.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Where do you think you're going?
0:27:17 > 0:27:22Sometimes, like, I can get like really frustrated and walk out.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I'm not staying in school, all right?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27He needs to knuckle down and sort himself out,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30otherwise his time at Conyers may not last very long.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32# Happy birthday to you... #
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Thank you!
0:27:33 > 0:27:36# You were born in a zoo! #
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Pull the toggle, and that will inflate our jackets.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Aah!
0:27:41 > 0:27:44That is strong!
