0:00:04 > 0:00:06Each September, half a million children begin
0:00:06 > 0:00:09the most important year of school so far...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15- ..Year 7.- Boom!
0:00:15 > 0:00:19CBBC have rigged this secondary school with loads of cameras
0:00:19 > 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 > 0:00:36I'm not spotting make-up there, am I?
0:00:36 > 0:00:37But what they learn here...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39IN FRENCH: A, B, C, D, E, F, G...
0:00:39 > 0:00:41..will 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 BURPS
0:00:56 > 0:00:57How can you do that?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11This time we follow best mates Harry and Owen
0:01:11 > 0:01:14as they move up to secondary school and we see
0:01:14 > 0:01:17how friendship can help overcome all sorts of new challenges.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It is important to have a best friend.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Because best friends, you can tell them everything.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31You have to be loyal, kind and funny.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36You need someone save your space in line.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39You have to look out for them and hang out with them.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Best friends, you can stick together
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and you can do lots of fun things together.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48A good best friend would be somebody who gets on with you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Have you got your schoolbag ready?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53No. Off you go, quickly.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02It's the start of the new term
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and the boys are about to get their first taste of life in Year 7.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I think my life will change dramatically because
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I'll get to meet new people, see what they're like and learn a lot more.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- Right, you've got everything?- Yeah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I'm really excited because
0:02:24 > 0:02:28you get to meet other people.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- Good luck.- Bye!- Bye.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Bye.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Just stick with me.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44They're on their way to their form group, 7AG,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46with teacher Mr Glendenning.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Guys, I'm going to give you five seconds to find a seat.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Five...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Four...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Three...
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Two...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59One...
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Half...
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Quarter...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05But before he can take the register,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09there's something very important that Harry needs to tell him.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Yes, Harry? - Your flies have come down.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Right, thanks for noticing that.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Right!- Well, someone had to let him know.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Sh...
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Harry and Owen met when they were just three years old.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31We've been friends since Year 1
0:03:31 > 0:03:35in our primary school where...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Where I couldn't fasten my shoe
0:03:38 > 0:03:41and he came to help me.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Doing everyday things like tying shoelaces
0:03:43 > 0:03:46are harder for Harry than most.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I have Cerebral palsy
0:03:50 > 0:03:55that affects me walking and talking.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02But it doesn't affect the close friendship he shares with Owen.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05We have the same sense of humour
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and we know each other, like...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Really, really well.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Hard to get a friend like that -
0:04:12 > 0:04:14he's, like, one of a kind.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- You are!- Thank you.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24In the move up from primary to secondary,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27one of the big things on everyone's mind is making new friends,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31but for Harry, that might not be so easy.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Making friends is quite hard
0:04:35 > 0:04:39because they don't understand me,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43they haven't got used to my voice.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Harry's dad also knows that it could be tough for him.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49When you're a child,
0:04:49 > 0:04:54anything that makes you a little bit different stands out quite a lot.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So we were a little bit concerned about how
0:04:56 > 0:04:59he would fit in with a mainstream school.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Well, let's find out, shall we?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02I win!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12And just in case you haven't got it yet, this is a BIG school,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14with 1,500 students,
0:05:14 > 0:05:1880 classrooms, two canteens, a football pitch
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and tennis courts. Not bragging, just being factually correct.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Bonjour, la classe, bonjour!
0:05:28 > 0:05:29- CLASS:- Bonjour.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32In French, the class are learning numbers
0:05:32 > 0:05:34and they're doing it with a sing-along.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36This is the best table!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39# Trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept
0:05:40 > 0:05:43# Huit, neuf, dix
0:05:43 > 0:05:47# Onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze
0:05:48 > 0:05:50# Seize, dix-sept
0:05:51 > 0:05:53# Dix-huit, dix-neuf
0:05:53 > 0:05:55# Vingt. #
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Maybe Harry should think about a career in stand-up comedy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Harry, who's your hero?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I don't have one but I look up to tall people.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08LAUGHTER
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Looking up to tall people?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11That joke's older than me, Harry.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Meanwhile, Owen's impressing his classmates with his Russian accent.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Hello my friends, today it is atheist Russia
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and we are going to be doing the PPS.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29And at the end of the lesson, the boys get to leave class early.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Because it takes Harry longer to get around school,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34he needs to avoid crowds,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37and that also means skipping the lunch queue.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40It puts him a bit on an advantage.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Instead of going in line with people, like, pushing about,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48because people push about and you'd get flattened, correct?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Yep.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59An early dinner also means there's more time to muck about...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02..and to catch up about school.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Made any new friends?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Yeah, a kid called Adam, have you?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Not in our form group.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15I reckon that we should try and make some more friends, yeah?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18There's still plenty of time for that.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Next up, a brand-new subject - drama.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30We're going to do a little experiment to begin with, OK?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Teacher Mr Smith has picked Harry and four other students
0:07:33 > 0:07:35to perform in front of the class.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36You can't get past these chairs,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I want you to imagine that there's a fence, OK?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42You lot on that side of the fence
0:07:42 > 0:07:46are going to be photographers.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You lot are stars of the film.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53OK?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56You're going to go and you're going to walk down here,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58walk all the way down...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02back round and back up into that corner.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05OK? Three, two...go on, walk down your stars, go!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Walk down your stars.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09CHEERFUL CHATTER
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK, stop, please.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Stop.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34They've strutted their stuff on the red carpet,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36but Harry is embarrassed and gets upset.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40What's the matter? Are you all right, Harry?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Are you OK? You just sit down and let Sir talk to you for a second, OK?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45No problem.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46No problem.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Teaching Assistant Mr Rigley and classmate Libby are there to help.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- No-one's said anything, have they? - No.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Do you not like doing that?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You don't like walking up and down?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06OK, that's fine, I understand that. I'm the same, I hate acting
0:09:06 > 0:09:10and standing up in front of people, it is quite hard to do.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13So you don't want to do that again? No. Right, that's fine.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Sir's very understanding, he will understand that, yeah?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Let's go in for the last minute. - It can be scary performing
0:09:20 > 0:09:23in front of your class, but Harry eventually re-joins them.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Trying out new subjects isn't the only thing
0:09:33 > 0:09:34that the Year 7's are finding tricky.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Oh, my gosh.- There's lots of it...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- They give you too much. - ..it's annoying...
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Difficult.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46..and they'll be moaning about it for the rest of their school lives.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Very challenging.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54We're getting loads more homework than we did at primary.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Homework, homework, homework.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58From the first week I was really scared,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I was like, "How am I going to finish all of this?"
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's due in on really different days.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06It's one of the most important things to get right.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I just wish I could give it all to my brother
0:10:09 > 0:10:11because he's done it all and it's like,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14"There you go, there's my homework, I'll collect it tomorrow."
0:10:14 > 0:10:18If I don't get it in then I am literally going to get shouted at.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22And there's all sorts of excuses when it's not handed in.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26My best excuse would be my niece has drawn all over it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Try and keep your homework somewhere safe
0:10:28 > 0:10:31so I don't have to get someone to translate it for me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I've brought it in, but it's, like, half-done.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Why is it only half-done?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Well, I was eating my tea...
0:10:38 > 0:10:39That's not an excuse.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I know a new one - my lizard ate my homework.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45That looks like it's been through the digestive system of a cat.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Since starting at secondary,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51one of the things Owen's been struggling with is his homework.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54You have, like, three pieces of homework
0:10:54 > 0:10:59and then they go and push another two pieces of homework on you
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and then that's now five pieces of homework to do,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05which is dead annoying.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13In French, teacher Mrs Houchen is expecting homework in.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Attention, s'il vous plait. Can I see all of your homework?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Yeah, there you go. - Well done, tres bien!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Homework, please, ladies. Did you find your book?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Oh, dear, I'm not sure Owen's done his.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Homework, please.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Owen?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29My homework's not in my bag.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I put it in my bag this morning and now it's not there.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Let's have a double-check because I'm wondering if that's the case.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37No, it's definitely, definitely not in there.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Do you think this might be because we haven't done it, Owen?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I get some homework where it's like,
0:11:41 > 0:11:46I'll get seven pages of homework and I'll get one where it's one page.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I know how you feel, I really do. It's a tricky old business
0:11:50 > 0:11:51when you come to secondary school
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and you've got a lot of homework to do. I was in the exact same boat.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- I'll give you a last chance saloon, it's called, OK?- OK.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58- Do you understand that?- Yeah.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00And if you don't get it to me on Monday,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02you will get a detention, that's how it works.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Looks like it could be a busy weekend for Owen.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Despite a few wobbles,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13the boys are settling in well and starting to make friends.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18This is especially good news for Harry,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21who was worried about meeting new people.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I feel like everyone knows me.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Like, literally, I'm walking past people
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and they say, "Hi, Harry."
0:12:34 > 0:12:35- Hi, Harry!- Hiya.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Yeah, he's fine.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40THEY LAUGH
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Yeah, I'm fine.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49There's one classmate that the boys have really hit it off with, Iman.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54What I like about Iman is he's really funny.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Konichiwa!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Konichiwa!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01He's the form joker.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Yes! Yes!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Like, he jokes around all the time.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Wasp, wasp, wasp!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12You just hear him laughing at the back of the classroom.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Iman likes to fool around in class but out of school
0:13:20 > 0:13:22there's something he's deadly serious about...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28..combat sport MMA,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31or mixed martial arts.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I saw this YouTube clip or something
0:13:34 > 0:13:37and then these two, big, massive...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40These big guys were like...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and then my dad goes, "What are you watching?"
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and I was like, "This is good."
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You have to train. If you don't train,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51you're not going to go anywhere.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54He's got ambition for the future.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'm going to put my head down, pull my socks up
0:13:56 > 0:14:00and like, hopefully I'll be a fighter, hopefully.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Back in class and it's time for my science lesson.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Can I ask what experiments people came up with, then...
0:14:13 > 0:14:14..about the candle?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17'But things aren't going too well for Owen.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23'He's fallen out with teaching assistant Mrs Carter,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25'who told him off for having a bad attitude.'
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Owen, outside now, please.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32What could we investigate here?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35'Now, he's being sent out -
0:14:35 > 0:14:36'away from the cameras.'
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Because I told you off for messing around with Harry's chair,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42is this why we have this attitude?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I asked you three times and three times you've chose to ignore me.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Why?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Because I was. thinking about the question.- No.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Not having it because you can't get your own way
0:14:53 > 0:14:56and I've told you off, right?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Do you understand that?- Yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00We've lost Owen, we're stuck.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Right, listen carefully, listen.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Your folders are given to me and then you can pack away.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14'Lesson over and I'm keen to get to the bottom
0:15:14 > 0:15:17'of exactly what happened with Mrs Carter.'
0:15:17 > 0:15:21What she told me was that you'd, like, knocked into
0:15:21 > 0:15:24or you were messing with Harry's chair?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Does that sound familiar?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I put it on unlock, because if Harry was on lock
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- he wouldn't be able to move, he'd be like this...- Right.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33So I went... and kicked it back on unlock.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Right. So you thought...
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- And then I'd done that and she told me off...- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- ..for helping him.- I know you did that with good intentions, OK?
0:15:42 > 0:15:47But I think Miss probably thought that you were interfering with it
0:15:47 > 0:15:49and that probably got her back up a bit. But can you see
0:15:49 > 0:15:52how it might have looked from somebody else's point of view?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- That's all I'm asking.- Yeah.- OK.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58But you've just got to keep yourself to yourself and you do exactly,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01exactly what has made me like you so much since you came in.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You do exactly that. You keep on, you come in,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06you bring your A-game to science and you help everybody out, OK?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- OK.- All right, mate.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's times like these that you need a best friend.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25It makes me happy when I'm upset and Harry comes over
0:16:25 > 0:16:28and he has a joke and that with me, don't you?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34When you're angry...
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Or, like, upset... - ..I come over and calm you down.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40..come over, give me a joke, I'll start laughing about it
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and that's just it fine. That's...you know?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Back in class and it's time for RE.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55I like learning about my own faith and the faith of other people.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Students at our school have lots of different beliefs.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I believe in heaven...
0:17:08 > 0:17:09..hell...
0:17:09 > 0:17:14I'm atheist, like, I don't believe in God or anything.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I don't have a faith,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20though other people, it's important to them.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Believing in God gives me a bit of a warm feeling,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26knowing that someone is looking over me.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I just think that science is more believable, like,
0:17:28 > 0:17:32the way that the big bang started the world and evolution.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Respect people of other faiths is a good one.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Teacher Mr Winter wants the class to have a debate about religion.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45So what you've been asked to do, you're working on your own,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47you're not consulting with anybody else,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49this has got to be your personal opinion.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51So I'm going to start with Holly.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I'm going to hear from you, where's Holly?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I believe in God, but I'm not sure if he exists
0:17:57 > 0:18:01because, like, if he wasn't real, who made him up?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Very good, Holly, just stay standing.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Milina, I'm glad you've got your hand up, I'm going to ask you next.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Tell me what you believe about God.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I don't believe in God because I think science made the world.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13I just don't think he made the world,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16because no human that's around
0:18:16 > 0:18:20has ever been able to do magic and stuff.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22What if he's not a human?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24What if God is not human? God is not human, is he?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- That's the point. - He's not a tiger, is he?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It's hard to imagine what God is like if he's not human
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and he's not an animal, yeah.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36But if he's a spirit, a ghost...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Ghosts can't pick anything up,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41they'll just go straight through something.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Come on...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44CLASS TALKS AT ONCE
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Now, Owen, you can sit down. Hands down.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Erm, Iman.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54You want to learn about other people so that you can respect
0:18:54 > 0:18:58what they were and what they're doing.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And you're a Muslim?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Yeah.- Yeah. Have you started to learn the Koran in Arabic?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Yeah, OK, can you say anything?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09HE SPEAKS ARABIC
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- There.- Excellent.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20APPLAUSE
0:19:20 > 0:19:22And what does that mean?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23It means, right...
0:19:25 > 0:19:30I'm going to do something good and I'm going to try my hardest at it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Very good. Thank you, Iman.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40My faith is Islam and it means peace,
0:19:40 > 0:19:45and my name's Iman and it means faith and belief.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49After school I sometimes come down to the mosque,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53bring my Koran with me and just start reading.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03When you have a problem, whenever you're feeling unsure,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05you go to the Koran.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08The best thing about Islam is there's lots to find out.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12HE SINGS IN ARABIC
0:20:17 > 0:20:23Though the kids at Conyers... they respect the belief that I have
0:20:23 > 0:20:26and I would respect whatever religion you believe in.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Oh, that looks really nice. That macaroni cheese looks really nice.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It's lunch time and Harry's mum's come into school for a meeting
0:20:39 > 0:20:43with the learning support team to find out how he's getting on.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47All I wanted to do was just, sort of, catch up and just make sure...
0:20:47 > 0:20:49We had all those meetings before and
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I just wanted to make sure that everything was working
0:20:53 > 0:20:55as we thought it was going to.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Harry has adapted to Conyers extremely well,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02he really has, way above what we thought,
0:21:02 > 0:21:07and he manages to move around school with no issues whatsoever.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12He's very popular in the class with his old and new friends,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16everybody is happy with him. He's lovely, he is absolutely lovely.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19But we're biased, so we know that bit.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21We love working with him.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Well, that all sounds very positive.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Oh, good hit, Charlotte.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Fielder?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Oh! Ducked out the way!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43My dad always says
0:21:43 > 0:21:46don't give up trying,
0:21:46 > 0:21:51you'll never achieve if you don't try.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Excellent.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I'm very determined...
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Oh, that's a four.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06..and I don't give up.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Oh, nice hit, H.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10I'm proud to be Harry's friend
0:22:10 > 0:22:12because he's determined at everything.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I like him, he's a good friend.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20It's great to see children accepting what Harry has
0:22:20 > 0:22:22and how difficult it is for him.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Yeah, he's really, really happy at school.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30And Harry's already got his future mapped out.
0:22:30 > 0:22:36When I grow up, I would like to teach people like me
0:22:36 > 0:22:39because I've had it since I was a baby.
0:22:41 > 0:22:47And I know how to teach other people.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57The weekend's over.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01For Owen, that means his overdue French homework must be handed in.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04He has to see Mrs Houchen
0:23:04 > 0:23:09and has taken Harry along for a bit of support.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Harry's always pushing on me,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13"Have you done your homework? Have you done your homework?"
0:23:13 > 0:23:15and I'm like, "No."
0:23:15 > 0:23:20He says he doesn't have time to do it
0:23:20 > 0:23:26but I think he does, he just doesn't really want to do it.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27How did you get on?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Erm...it was OK.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It was OK?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Right, first of all I'd say, Owen, that looks absolutely fab
0:23:35 > 0:23:37and that's exactly what I wanted you to do, OK?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38That's exactly what I wanted you to do,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42which means we won't go any further, we don't need to do anything at all.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I'll always pop a note in your planner so someone knows,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47but now it's done and dusted, not the end of the world, end of story.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I'll take that in and I'll really enjoy marking that, OK?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We're only in the first couple of weeks, aren't we...?
0:23:52 > 0:23:57With the work handed in, Mrs Houchen decides to give Owen some tips.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02First thing I recommend is that you do it the night that you get it, OK?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- I do.- Do it the night you get it, OK?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07The second thing is if, like, you said you found it quite tricky,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10if you find it difficult, if you do it the night you get it,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12you can come and see me and say,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15"Mrs Houchen, I need a bit of help, will you give me a hand on this?"
0:24:15 > 0:24:17and then I can sit down with you and I can help you do it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And Harry has some advice to share too.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24When you do it, shut it in your bag.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Yes, when you've done it shut it in your bag!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Harry, you've got to keep him in check.- Yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Now Owen has a new plan to help him tackle his homework.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Hang on, we've got a lesson before PE.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Au revoir!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38BELL RINGS
0:24:48 > 0:24:51It's been a busy first few weeks at Our School
0:24:51 > 0:24:54and back at Harry's place, the boys are looking forward
0:24:54 > 0:24:55to hanging out together.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01What's up, bro?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Oh, wow, where did you get that from?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I got it for my birthday.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I made this with my grandad.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Whoa, that's class.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30You've got a cool bedroom, you know.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34He's had a look round,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37now lets see how Iman scores at table football.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Right, Owen, give me a...
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Come on, man!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48One, two.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Yay!
0:25:55 > 0:25:56My ball.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Yes!
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Oh!
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Yes!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09One more point now, Owen.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yeah!
0:26:14 > 0:26:15In your face!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Look, look, give us that, look, Harry.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20At the start of Year 7, the boys were worried
0:26:20 > 0:26:21about making new friends...
0:26:24 > 0:26:28..but after only a couple of weeks, they've managed to do just that.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Mint.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38When I came here, I didn't think I would make friends
0:26:38 > 0:26:41like Iman that understand me.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42All right.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50We're all like brothers, in a sense.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Brother from another mother.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Oh! Oh, I'm going to pass out.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I think we'll all stay friends throughout school
0:27:01 > 0:27:04because we're, like, attached.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Like, we're glued together.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08What the...?
0:27:11 > 0:27:12You're too heavy.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Next time on Our School, we meet two students
0:27:18 > 0:27:21whose big personalities are getting them in trouble.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Jamie's behaviour is holding him back...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Right, can you split up, please?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27..and Jessica just can't keep quiet.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31It's so hard for me to shut my mouth.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Ow!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40How many girlfriends have you had, Owen?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Erm...
0:27:48 > 0:27:49..seven.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Please can you do it again?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Argh!
