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 > 0:00:18CBBC have rigged this secondary school with
0:00:18 > 0:00:23loads of cameras so you can see exactly what happens...
0:00:23 > 0:00:27as they make new friends and get into trouble.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31If you wish to find out how strict I can be,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34then break the rules I set down.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I'm not spotting make-up there, am I?
0:00:36 > 0:00:41But what they learn here will stay with them for ever.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hello there, I'm Mr Thoburn and I'm a science teacher here.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50If you've ever wondered what secondary school
0:00:50 > 0:00:53is like, here'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!?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06It's an early start for one Our School student.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10This is Harry.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15He likes dinosaurs.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Yay, we're going to go to school! - Okey-dokey.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24School, school, school, school!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Want to learn about prehistoric monsters? Harry's your lad.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32First there was the Cretaceous period,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and the first dinosaurs in the Jurassic period...
0:01:35 > 0:01:38HARRY MUMBLES
0:01:38 > 0:01:40So, hang on, the giant dinosaurs...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Yes.- As in the T-Rex and things like that?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yeah, but not in the Jurassic, they keep in the Cretaceous.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Right, so what comes next? - I don't know.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50MUM LAUGHS
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Harry has autism and is part of what we call
0:01:55 > 0:01:59the Progress Group which is based over here.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03OK, are you going to press the button? Well done, you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07The Progress Group is for students who need a bit more support.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Whatever they're dealing with, the class is here to help them
0:02:11 > 0:02:13feel more confident.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16This time, as well as Harry,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19we'll meet his Progress Group classmate, James.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I can see I'm going to have some fun with this class this year. We've
0:02:22 > 0:02:25got some bright sparks in here, which is excellent, I like that.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Every single one of these kids has a lot to offer.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I believe in them, but they need to believe in themselves as well.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34So what kind of a difference will it make for James and Harry?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Unsurprisingly, Harry's home has a bit of a dino theme.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Harry, what's your favourite thing in the world?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Reptiles, dragons, crocodiles,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55lizards, turtles, dinosaurs,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57including other prehistoric reptiles.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01HARRY MUMBLES
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Harry's autism makes it hard for him to communicate with
0:03:04 > 0:03:06others and make friends.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It also gives him his unusual accent.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12So to you, Harry, what do you think the word autism means?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Do you have any ideas?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I don't know. I absolutely do not know what it means.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- OK.- But I think it knows I'm a bit special.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28But Harry's autism doesn't stop him doing what he loves,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32like climbing up this massive wall every Wednesday night.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35What about climbing gear, do you wear all the climbing gear?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Yeah, we have to wear that otherwise we'll just, "Argh".
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Look at him go!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So how high do you think you get, then?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Sometimes up to...
0:03:44 > 0:03:48That high?! And do you not get scared of heights?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I used to be, but no longer.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54For Harry, the really hard thing can be making a connection to
0:03:54 > 0:03:58other people. He's never had a proper friend in his life.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00So, how... Harry?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Harry, how important is it for you to make friends around the school?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's just so I can have lots of friends
0:04:07 > 0:04:09and get used to other people.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Bringing friends home would be lovely because he's always
0:04:13 > 0:04:17been a well-liked child, but he's never really been invited to
0:04:17 > 0:04:19many parties and people haven't really invited him
0:04:19 > 0:04:23home for tea, you know, he hasn't had that, so that would be great.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25So will things change in Secondary?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Will Harry find a friend?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's all down to him.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Whoo-hoo!
0:04:36 > 0:04:42Harry's classmate James is very practical, he loves building stuff.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I like making things because it just takes my mind off everything
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and I can just concentrate on this.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Nobody's got to distract me all the time.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Although I like making things,
0:04:54 > 0:04:59when I grow up I'd like to be a demolition expert because I like
0:04:59 > 0:05:02buildings, but I also like destroying things.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07You get to, like, plant C4 and stuff like that
0:05:07 > 0:05:10and you get to, like, say, "Five, four, three, two, one," and then
0:05:10 > 0:05:11blow it all up!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15James has dyslexia, which means that he struggles
0:05:15 > 0:05:19with his reading and writing down the ideas he has in his head.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22When I, like, do writing at school,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I find it tricky because I just can't, like, write properly.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And in his primary school, James didn't always get
0:05:29 > 0:05:32the support that he wanted.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Because the teacher couldn't read it, I had to do it again
0:05:34 > 0:05:38and again and again, which really got annoying because that's
0:05:38 > 0:05:40the best I could do.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45It's not a subject he finds it easy to talk about.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48But maybe his time in the Progress Group will help James feel
0:05:48 > 0:05:50better about his dyslexia.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01In you come.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Back in school, Harry and James have History
0:06:04 > 0:06:07and a chance to meet their teacher, Mr Smith.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09This is my finger of doom!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Oh, my!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And when I ask a question, with my finger of doom,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15then you have to answer it!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18HE HUMS CREEPY MUSIC
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Finger of doom!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Er, History is about things that happened in the past.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Spectacular answer.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30How things happened and when things happened is really important.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33What happens if I try to walk through this door
0:06:33 > 0:06:34without opening it?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Shall we try it out? OK.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40The Progress Group works with the students
0:06:40 > 0:06:44until they're able to join the main school, but to do that,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47they'll really have to show their teachers that they're ready.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49We're almost there.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Now I understand the planes reverse, then those cars, then this...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Mr Smith is a particularly handy choice for Progress Group teacher.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Like James, he has dyslexia.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05OK, fantastic. By the way, if you see me wearing blue glasses that's
0:07:05 > 0:07:08because I'm dyslexic, I find reading difficult and it helps me out.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'm not trying to look cool, because that's impossible.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Mr Smith, he's a really fun guy
0:07:13 > 0:07:18and he's also had dyslexia and stuff like that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Spectacular, what a good answer, that's fantastic.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25So he's been through the whole process and stuff, and, like,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27what I'm going through now.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Fantastic.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Meeting Mr Smith has helped James who seems to be
0:07:35 > 0:07:36settling in to life at school.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Just don't get him started on One Direction
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Do you like One Direction?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42- No! - Oh...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45They're the worst.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46The worst people in the world.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Do you know Zayn is getting married? - Who?- Yeah?!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Zayn's getting married, and he's bought his mum a house.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Who's Zayn?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55That didn't impress the girls,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58but James is already proving that he's a bit of a whizz at Maths.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Yes! In your face, Science!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Or Maths, whatever we're doing.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You leave me no choice but to give you 10 points.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Really?!- Seriously. - Get in there.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Harry's settling in to school, too.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Today he's got PE.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Because he doesn't always do what he's supposed to...
0:08:24 > 0:08:28You're cheating. Go back, do it again, bounce the ball.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31..Harry has a Teaching Assistant with him to keep him focused.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33One more, one more.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36That's it. Brilliant, dribble it back.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Break time is always busy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49A noisy new world for Harry to get his head around.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Like a lot of the Progress Group, he's not keen on crowds
0:08:52 > 0:08:56so Harry likes to hang out in the Learning Support room
0:08:56 > 0:08:58where it's nice and quiet.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01The topic of conversation - dinosaurs.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05..even those from the Prehistoric times.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07What's your favourite kind of dinosaur?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08I like them all.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Do you not have a favourite?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Yes, Tyrannosaurus...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13HE LISTS DINOSAURS
0:09:13 > 0:09:15..two hours later...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17THEY LAUGH
0:09:17 > 0:09:19HARRY MUMBLES
0:09:20 > 0:09:21And velociraptor!
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Lessons are OK, but Harry would much rather play Dinosaurs and Monsters.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Harry is the kind of kid who loves, absolutely loves, dinosaurs.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Ooh, I found one with dinosaurs on! I think that's Harry's!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You're now going to tell me something about pirates.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Put your hand up. Yes, Harry?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Er, I can't... Sea monsters?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51They're cousins of sea reptiles.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Yes, but what I'd like you to do is give me
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- something about pirates, Harry. - Yes, sir.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Harry, do you want to stay in the Progress Group for ever?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Or do you feel at some point you might be able to move out,
0:10:03 > 0:10:04what do you think?
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Um, I haven't thought of that yet, but I'll let you know if I want to.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- You'll let me know. - So for now you feel happy in there?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Yeah, for now, I'm feeling safe. I'll stay with them, just for now.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17OK.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Meanwhile James' dyslexia is getting him down.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Reading and writing can be really difficult.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Can you just read a question out for me?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Course I can, do you want me to pop over?- No, it's fine.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39So the floor in one room requires 23 more tiles,
0:10:39 > 0:10:43so we could write it like this, "Plus 23", couldn't we?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Excellent, you can pack away now.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Right, once you've packed away, you may go.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51But Mr Smith has spotted James' frustration.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- James, have you got five minutes? - Yes.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I just want to have a quick chat with you, all right?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03About how you're feeling, because you and I share the same things.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06We have the same problem, what's the problem that we share?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Can't write.- Can't write, yes. What do we call that?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14What's the name for it?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Beginning with a 'D', what do I call myself all the time?
0:11:17 > 0:11:23- Dyslexic.- Dyslexic. Do you find it frustrating when you have ideas here
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- and you can't get them on the paper? - Yeah, that's the worst.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Is that the worst bit? I find that the worst as well.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And a lot of people don't understand that if you find it difficult
0:11:31 > 0:11:35to write, that doesn't mean that you don't understand, does it?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Yeah?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Cos it all goes on your writing, it doesn't go on what you know.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Exactly, right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46What would you want other people to know about being dyslexic?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48How hard it is.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50How hard, what do you mean by how hard it is?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Like, um...
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- ..what's the next question? - OK, that's fine.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02What I would want people to know, OK, is that I'm not stupid.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Because I used to feel,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07when I was at school, that I couldn't think properly.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I used to think that it was a problem with me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12But you're really smart, cos you're a teacher!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Yeah, but I didn't think so when I was at school.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Everyone else could do all the different things,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18could do all the writing and could read...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20But it doesn't matter, you're a teacher.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I bet some of your friends aren't a teacher, I bet
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- some of your friends...- That's true.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27..work in ASDA or somewhere like that.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Well, yeah, but, that's what I want you to think about, you see,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34because I know that it feels really bad right now, OK?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I know that it does, because I felt that bad. I used to think
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I couldn't do anything, I was rubbish, and then I remember
0:12:40 > 0:12:45exactly the day that I thought, "Actually, I'm quite clever," and
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I was out of school, and somebody was talking and I knew the answer to
0:12:49 > 0:12:52the question and nobody else in the room knew the answer,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- and I went... - I'd love that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55"Oh, I'm pretty clever, then!"
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I'd love that, I really would love that.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00And you probably will. You'll find one, and you'll know the answer
0:13:00 > 0:13:02and no-one else will.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Cos there's other things that we're good at,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07that other people might not be.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Good to have a chat, OK? Thank you very much, James.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15THEY BOTH EXHALE
0:13:15 > 0:13:16OK?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24A big part of the Progress Group
0:13:24 > 0:13:27is trying to help pupils with their social skills,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31so it's easier for them to make friends, and work together.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36Now, I know for a fact in here, about 70% of you find
0:13:36 > 0:13:39it difficult working with others.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41The class are split into pairs,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and asked to come up with a presentation together.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Right, Harry, would you work with Kyra for me, please?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Who?- The young lady who's waving at you, would you...
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- I was going... - No, I know, but I want you to work
0:13:53 > 0:13:55with people you wouldn't normally work with.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Making a connection to other people is something Harry
0:13:58 > 0:13:59often struggles with.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I know how this could work. You could tell Kyra all about dinosaurs,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08because I know you're a bit of an expert,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and you're passing on your knowledge and your expertise.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not doing it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I just don't want to do it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17OK, you don't have a choice, I want you to do it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Harry's a bit tricky to get to know because sometimes he listens,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23but sometimes he doesn't.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Harry's still refusing to talk to Kyra about their presentation.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Now, listen, Harry, you've got to discuss with Kyra your talk,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33because you're going to be talking in front of the rest
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- of the class about this in, like, five minutes.- Oh, OK.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39OK, so no drawing, please don't draw.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41But I want to draw.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46The way you're going to help is by talking to her.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Right, come on, then.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54It's show time but it's ended up a bit one-sided.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57We're talking about Jurassic Park.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00There's a picture.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04I enjoyed Jurassic Park because it had all different
0:15:04 > 0:15:05types of dinosaurs.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10There were some tyrannosauruses, velociraptors...
0:15:10 > 0:15:14LISTS DINOSAURS
0:15:14 > 0:15:17..triceratops...
0:15:17 > 0:15:21raptors, velociraptors...
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- PUPIL:- What was it again?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- TEACHER:- No, no, no(!) Very well done.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Have a seat, OK?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31If Harry's going to make friends at school, he's going
0:15:31 > 0:15:36to have to let other people get to know him, which is hard.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Every two weeks the Progress Group get to do something unusual.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49This lesson is Fruity Friday.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54So, because it's Fruity Friday, and because you've worked so well,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56this is the reward you get.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Nobody else in the school gets this!
0:15:59 > 0:16:03As part of Fruity Friday, Mr Smith hands out special
0:16:03 > 0:16:06hats as a reward for the last fortnight's work.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12This one is my bright ideas hat.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16This is for the person who's had the best bright idea or logical
0:16:16 > 0:16:20idea in the last two weeks, and that is going to be Lauren.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Lauren had some brilliant ideas,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25she has been our best thinker, a round of applause, please!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Fireman sort out problems, so people that have had a problem
0:16:29 > 0:16:33and have sorted it out, that is for...James.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35James, I've seen you help people, so you put that on.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38A round of applause for James, he's been helping people,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40well done, solving problems.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Fruity Friday is also when the teachers announce if
0:16:43 > 0:16:47anyone's going to leave the Progress Group and return to the main school.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The first to go is this lad, Leo.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55From Monday onwards, Leo's going to join his tutor group,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59and integrate into all of his lessons with his tutor group.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02That's because the efforts he's shown over the last week
0:17:02 > 0:17:05and a half, and because we feel that he'd be better placed there,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08so well done, Leo, so another round of applause for Leo.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Applause for Leo! Well done, Leo.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And now the fun times, you get fruit!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17ALL: Yeah!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Seeing Leo leave the group has given James plenty to think about.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Inspired by Leo's success,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33James is in the library at lunchtime to get his head down.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I've lost my good pen.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Where's Mr Smith, then?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- That says Smith. - That doesn't say Smith.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Well, it does in my world.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46James has been thinking a lot about the Progress Group.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Coming from the Progress Group, I'd much rather move to the main class.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Part of it is that he's really missing his friends in main school.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59My friends have been saying that they want me back and stuff cos
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I'm a really fun character and I bring it to the class.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06My plan is to get, like, um, really good
0:18:06 > 0:18:09so I can move out of the Progress Group and I can hopefully start
0:18:09 > 0:18:11getting back.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15So James has a plan, but his friends have other ideas.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Right, stop it now.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I need to do my homework.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Don't play with my pencils!
0:18:24 > 0:18:29If he can get his pens back, maybe James can show what he can do.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31THEY GIGGLE
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Meanwhile, Harry's back in Learning Support,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45and he could be about to make his first friend.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Has Harry finally met his match in Year 8 student, Ethan?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Have you seen Clash Of The Titans?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58These guys were all the dinosaurs' relatives,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02and then they evolved into smaller creatures like...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04LISTS DINOSAURS
0:19:04 > 0:19:07It's even bigger, but sometimes it's a huge one,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10like the mighty tyrannosaurus and the triceratops!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13It was bigger than that, like spinosaurus.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It wasn't a giganotosaurus.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18With Harry, I like the fact that he's into dinosaurs
0:19:18 > 0:19:21because dinosaurs were the first obsession that I had,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25and I know almost everything about them, that we, that humanity knows.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31When was the first time you actually learned about...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Some of the words they use, I don't even know those words.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I think putosuchus...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Postosuchus!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Postosuchus is actually the ancestor of...
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Of crocodiles. - Yes.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46It's like having two professors, discussing dinosaurs sometimes.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Harry seems to have found a friend.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00God knows how... I am actually not angry with you.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Ow! Ow!
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Right, guys, sandwiches away, otherwise I will eat them!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Phones away, otherwise I will sell them.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Sell them?!- Oh, yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23The Progress Group has Maths with Mr Waterson.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27I'm going to introduce you to probability.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30But first there's a surprise for James.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34I was given these earlier.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Ah, "What are these?", you ask.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40A good question. I'm not going to tell you because...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I might know what's in these envelopes but
0:20:43 > 0:20:45they're not addressed to me,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48and they're not addressed to you either,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51so legally speaking, you're not allowed to open these
0:20:51 > 0:20:54because it says "parents" of James Barker.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I tell you what, in front of the entire class, I need an assurance
0:20:57 > 0:21:00from you that you're not going to open this until you get home.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03He's smiling!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Right, what happens, do you think,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07if he opens this before he gets home, what shall we make him do?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Make a detention. - Give him a detention!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Super duper. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15So, do not open it until you get home,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18otherwise you'll be spending some time with me,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- picking some chewing gum off the underside of tables.- Oh, gross!
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Put in bag.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24And it's not just James.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Classmate Kyra is getting a letter, too.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Not till you get home.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Well, today at school I got this envelope off Mr Waterson
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and I wasn't allowed to um...
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Open it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Open it, yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Now I really want to know what's inside it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43# Dum-dum-dum! #
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Are you curious about what's in the letter?- Yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Yeah?- Yeah. - Mwa-ha-ha-ha.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52You're just getting me all nervous now, you really are.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53I do apologise.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Over in Art, speculation is rife,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02what could the letter be?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06"Parents of James Barker."
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11I think that... I'm not sure.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I tried to look through it but I can't see anything.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Detention maybe?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Yeah, it could say you've got six weeks of detention.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Maybe you might be going to isolation?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I could... It could say,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27you've been suspended for ever.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Hopefully, it's good news and not
0:22:30 > 0:22:34bad news cos I don't want it to be bad news cos that won't be good.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36# Dum-dum-dum! #
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Finally, it's the end of the day and James takes his letter home.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Hi.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Mum, I got a letter today. - Oh, did you?- Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- is this good news?- I hope so.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I wonder what it can be.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Maths Academy.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Oh, my word, James.
0:23:07 > 0:23:14"Based on your initial assessment of your child..."
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Means me, yeah.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21"..James has been placed in Set 3.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25"This will take effect from Monday.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27That's brilliant, James! Group 3! Well done!
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Are you going to give me a hug? - No!
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I'm getting excited, myself, now!
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- That's really good news, James! - It is actually.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I'm very proud of you James, very proud.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43He's done so well in his Maths,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47that James will be moved into the main school for those lessons.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48It's a huge achievement.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Yeah!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Today is a big day for Harry.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Rargh!
0:24:02 > 0:24:04He's invited a friend home.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Hey!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Hi, Ethan! - Hi, Harry.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Oh, hiya, Ethan's dad!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I found a dinosaur. Hey, Mum, Ethan brought this guy.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Well, I can see something. Oh, wow.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26He's a great friend, and he's the bestest friend
0:24:26 > 0:24:28in the whole world.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31HARRY SCREAMS
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Firing missiles!
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I definitely know more about dinosaurs than Harry.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Hey! I know twice more!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- No, you don't. - Yes, I do.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- No, you don't.- Yes, I do!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- No, you don't.- That doesn't work! Rock paper scissors!
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Rock paper scissors!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Yes! - I still know more!
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- I still know more. - I won!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I still know more.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08The first term at secondary school has been
0:25:08 > 0:25:10a real success for Harry.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13This year, it has been great.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16It's great, great, great, great...
0:25:16 > 0:25:19OK, you can stop now!
0:25:19 > 0:25:24He's done so brilliantly and I'm very proud of him, um...
0:25:24 > 0:25:29but then I guess I always am cos he's pretty marvellous.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32It has been...awesome!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It's non-uniform day,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42but the Progress Group have bigger things to think about.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46It's also Fruity Friday and James and Kyra's send off.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50So, we have our hat award first.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51I want that one!
0:25:51 > 0:25:54This one is for the people that made me laugh this week
0:25:54 > 0:25:55or the last two weeks.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59It is the comedian hat, and it goes to James. Well done, James.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Yeah!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- A round of applause for James. - I'm wearing this!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07At the start, I felt, like, nervous and
0:26:07 > 0:26:11I don't know what's going to happen, and I might not find the rooms.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- But when you get in there... - Yeah, you're fine.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It doesn't actually hurt.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22I think that James isn't limited by his fear of his dyslexia
0:26:22 > 0:26:25anymore, it doesn't stop him doing anything.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- There's only one girl that's got a hat.- Who?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29You!
0:26:31 > 0:26:35There are two people in the group this week who got a letter,
0:26:35 > 0:26:41telling them some good news, positive news, and that was
0:26:41 > 0:26:45that they are leaving the lesson Maths, that they have with
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Mr Waterson, and that's because they've worked exceptionally hard.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Now those two people, Kyra and James, well done!
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Whoo!
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Right, and of course it is Fruity Friday, what do we get to eat?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03ALL: Fruit!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Leaving the Progress Group will be good and sad at the same time,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09cos I'm leaving my friends.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Like me!- But I'll be happy because I'll be...
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Be with your other friends. - Yeah, be with all my other friends.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22James has proved something to himself,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and everybody else, canny work, fella!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Next time on Our School -
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Owen has homework trouble...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Let's double check because I'm wondering if that's the case.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- ..Iman learns some Japanese... - Konnichi wa!
0:27:38 > 0:27:40..and Harry shows his cheeky side.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Yes, Harry? - Your flies are undone.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Right, thanks for noticing that.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And action...
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Hello?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Can I just test if it is working?
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- How many times does seven appear? - Four.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Three... Six... Five... - Whoa, which is it?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- This video is over!- Harry, no!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Video's over now, got to go.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Harry!- Video's over.
