BELL RINGS

0:00:020:00:03

Meet year seven.

0:00:040:00:06

Awesome!

0:00:070:00:09

It's the most important year of school so far.

0:00:090:00:12

You're not here to have a laugh and a good time. You're here to learn.

0:00:120:00:15

With so many changes,

0:00:150:00:18

new friends...

0:00:180:00:19

Miss, have you got a cloth?

0:00:190:00:21

..and new teachers...

0:00:210:00:22

You are a Greenwood boy.

0:00:220:00:24

..it's an exciting world to discover.

0:00:250:00:27

Wow.

0:00:270:00:28

It can be fun but, sometimes, it can be tough.

0:00:280:00:33

There are different challenges for everybody.

0:00:330:00:35

We're in year seven, we're acting like three-year-olds.

0:00:350:00:38

We've rigged another secondary school with loads of cameras...

0:00:380:00:41

Is this what you see when you look through a camera?

0:00:410:00:44

Because this is awesome.

0:00:440:00:45

..so you can find out exactly what happens.

0:00:450:00:47

You're on report by my request.

0:00:470:00:50

I'm Trev.

0:00:520:00:54

I used to go to school here

0:00:540:00:55

but now I'm one of the teachers.

0:00:550:00:58

Last question, because you're going to run out of time.

0:00:580:01:01

Welcome to Our School.

0:01:020:01:04

I need a wee!

0:01:040:01:06

We're back for a brand-new series of Our School.

0:01:110:01:15

This time, it's January

0:01:150:01:17

and the start of the second term at secondary school.

0:01:170:01:21

We're at a different school this time around

0:01:210:01:23

so, in this special episode, I'm going to introduce you

0:01:230:01:26

to some of the students you'll be meeting across the series.

0:01:260:01:29

Just get on with your work and stop shouting "Poo".

0:01:290:01:32

We've also got two new kids joining our school this term, Archie...

0:01:340:01:39

I smell the mangoes just from here

0:01:390:01:41

Put it in different places, even in your beer!

0:01:410:01:43

And Eesa.

0:01:460:01:47

Eesa, you OK?

0:01:470:01:50

Wakey-wakey.

0:01:500:01:51

They'll be getting to know everyone too.

0:01:530:01:55

I'm not taking the mick, that's sick.

0:01:570:01:59

This time around, we're in Birmingham.

0:02:020:02:04

And any guesses where that lot are off to?

0:02:060:02:08

They're heading for our school,

0:02:100:02:12

called Greenwood Academy.

0:02:120:02:13

Our school is home to 673 students and 90 members of staff.

0:02:180:02:23

-OK, good morning, year seven.

-ALL:

-Good morning, Miss.

0:02:230:02:27

Once more with feeling.

0:02:270:02:29

-I love this school.

-Thank you, Taylor-Jay.

0:02:290:02:31

You just need to give it a few weeks

0:02:310:02:33

to get into the school and relax

0:02:330:02:35

and, like, know all the people that are there.

0:02:350:02:38

I'm going into secondary school.

0:02:380:02:40

It's much better than primary school, really.

0:02:400:02:42

This school, I would like a lot to be my new home.

0:02:420:02:45

Yeah, I'm proud.

0:02:450:02:47

We've got over 40 classrooms, two canteens,

0:02:510:02:55

an Astroturf, playing fields

0:02:550:02:57

and three sports halls,

0:02:570:02:59

but this room is my favourite.

0:02:590:03:01

I'll tell you more about that later.

0:03:010:03:03

Around here, we like to think of ourselves as one big family.

0:03:050:03:09

Oh, that's Miss Richardson, our head of year.

0:03:090:03:11

Very nice teacher, ain't you, Miss?

0:03:110:03:13

Very smooth, Spencer.

0:03:130:03:15

We're like a big family, basically. We've got to sit together.

0:03:150:03:18

Yeah, like, a big family, you don't spread apart.

0:03:180:03:21

You come together as one.

0:03:210:03:22

Well said, girls.

0:03:220:03:24

And, if we're one big family,

0:03:240:03:26

I guess that means principal Mr French is dad.

0:03:260:03:29

It helps to stay fit to run a busy place like our school.

0:03:310:03:34

I think Mr French is a smart teacher, really nice

0:03:340:03:39

-and healthy.

-Healthy.

0:03:390:03:42

Do you like being the head teacher?

0:03:420:03:43

Yeah, genuinely, I think I've got the best job in the world.

0:03:430:03:47

-I'll put yes.

-Yes, OK.

0:03:470:03:49

That's not a job interview, by the way.

0:03:490:03:52

It's just some of our year seven

0:03:520:03:53

quizzing him for a project they're doing.

0:03:530:03:55

-And I suppose Mum...

-Are your trousers ripped, hun?

-Yeah.

0:03:580:04:01

..must be head of year seven, Miss Richardson.

0:04:010:04:04

Bring them in the back and I'll sew them up for you, darling, all right?

0:04:040:04:08

I'm always, like, basically, that mean one

0:04:080:04:11

and I'm always going to be the mean one.

0:04:110:04:13

Really good. That jacket needs to come off

0:04:130:04:15

from underneath your blazer now.

0:04:150:04:17

Being fair, I'll quite happily take that

0:04:170:04:19

and then see you guys in year 11 succeed,

0:04:190:04:21

getting your Bs, your A*s and things like that.

0:04:210:04:25

OK, that's enough grown-ups for now.

0:04:250:04:27

Let's meet some younger but still very important members

0:04:270:04:30

of the Our School family.

0:04:300:04:32

-ALL:

-Hi!

0:04:320:04:33

In fact, let's hear from them in their own words.

0:04:330:04:37

At school, I'm mischievous and cheeky.

0:04:450:04:50

SHE GIGGLES

0:04:500:04:51

-I'm quite loud.

-Yeah.

0:04:510:04:53

I'll chase people if they do something to me.

0:04:530:04:57

Yay.

0:04:570:04:58

I would say I'm clever.

0:04:580:05:01

-I'm very clever.

-Big-headed.

-I'm not big-headed.

0:05:010:05:04

Us as a generation are getting smarter.

0:05:040:05:06

Do you want the wrong answers?

0:05:060:05:08

No, you don't, so let me check if they're right.

0:05:080:05:11

People are saying, like, all the tests are getting easier

0:05:110:05:13

just because the grades went up and we've been getting higher marks

0:05:130:05:16

but we're getting... We're smarter, really,

0:05:160:05:19

because, if you ask my dad, he can barely work his phone.

0:05:190:05:23

I'm clever.

0:05:230:05:25

Clever, see?

0:05:250:05:27

This year at school, I want it to be a great year,

0:05:320:05:35

try not to get in trouble or be silly.

0:05:350:05:41

Try and be the best that I can.

0:05:410:05:44

I'd love to, like, go out there and I'd love to get good grades

0:05:440:05:48

and I'd love to make a name for myself.

0:05:480:05:51

Sometimes, I'm lazy and I just don't try my best.

0:05:530:05:56

Since I've started secondary school, Mum thinks that I'm a bit more ruder

0:05:560:06:00

now but, most of the time, it's not my fault.

0:06:000:06:02

Cheeky, talkative and a little bit annoying.

0:06:020:06:07

-Rhys, shut your mouth.

-Kasey!

0:06:070:06:09

-Stupid.

-Are you calling me stupid?

0:06:140:06:18

No, I'm calling myself stupid.

0:06:180:06:20

Describe each other.

0:06:200:06:23

Yeah, I'm calling you stupid

0:06:230:06:24

because you didn't know I called myself stupid.

0:06:240:06:28

I'm not even going to argue with you on that one.

0:06:280:06:30

THEY CHATTER

0:06:300:06:33

We are in a nerd section.

0:06:330:06:35

Yeah.

0:06:380:06:40

Definitely nerd section.

0:06:400:06:42

But, pretty soon, you'll know year seven

0:06:440:06:47

as well as year seven know year seven.

0:06:470:06:49

How? Because we've put cameras everywhere.

0:06:490:06:52

And I mean everywhere.

0:06:550:06:58

Teachers' toilets and...

0:06:580:07:01

Er, no, I don't think so, Spencer.

0:07:010:07:03

OK, then. Almost everywhere.

0:07:030:07:06

Oh, we've got another spy.

0:07:120:07:15

Any ideas what's behind this door?

0:07:150:07:18

No, it's not an extra-special detention room.

0:07:180:07:21

We've got a hard-working team from CBB...

0:07:220:07:25

Wait a second.

0:07:250:07:27

They've got brownies.

0:07:270:07:29

Anyway, we've got a hard-working team from CBBC.

0:07:290:07:33

They're watching every move we make all the time,

0:07:350:07:39

so you'll be able to see Callum singing...

0:07:390:07:41

# I like big butts and I cannot lie

0:07:410:07:44

# All the other brothers can't deny... #

0:07:440:07:46

..Kiara gossiping...

0:07:460:07:48

Did you kiss him?

0:07:480:07:49

Did you kiss him?

0:07:490:07:51

Did you hug him?

0:07:510:07:53

..and Courtney...

0:07:530:07:55

OK, yeah, Hayden?

0:07:550:07:57

Actually, what are you doing, Courtney?

0:07:570:07:59

Ergh!

0:07:590:08:00

Our crack team will capture everything.

0:08:020:08:05

When they aren't eating brownies, that is.

0:08:050:08:08

Caught you, Aaron.

0:08:080:08:09

What?

0:08:090:08:10

So let's meet some of the kids who our cameras are going to be following

0:08:130:08:17

and who we'll be getting to know better over the coming weeks.

0:08:170:08:21

First of all, say hello to Kiara May.

0:08:210:08:24

Apparently, this is what I've heard,

0:08:240:08:27

he asked you out and then you asked him out.

0:08:270:08:29

PHONE BUZZES

0:08:290:08:30

Er, hi, Kiara.

0:08:300:08:33

Though you might need to send her a text to get her attention.

0:08:330:08:37

She's our school's social media selfie queen.

0:08:370:08:40

Year sevens, let me just remind you guys, there's no phones out allowed.

0:08:450:08:48

You heard him, Kiara. Phone away.

0:08:480:08:51

But, besides selfies, what's year seven all about to you?

0:08:510:08:55

At school, there's, like, the geeky girls, the cool girls,

0:08:550:08:59

the girly girls.

0:08:590:09:01

And the weird girls.

0:09:010:09:02

Well, with cameras everywhere,

0:09:050:09:08

we should be able to find out which group she's in.

0:09:080:09:11

This is now the second time with a mobile as well

0:09:110:09:13

with yourself, isn't it?

0:09:130:09:14

But will Kiara May's love of friends, phones and fun

0:09:140:09:18

be sending the wrong message?

0:09:180:09:20

I will ban you from using a phone on the school premises, OK?

0:09:200:09:24

Will she get the chance to put the cheer into cheerleading?

0:09:240:09:27

Listen, whoever's walking out, walk out now.

0:09:270:09:30

Maybe not.

0:09:300:09:31

Now, you should be careful of underestimating our next student.

0:09:340:09:37

This is Libby.

0:09:370:09:39

Do you like my beard?

0:09:390:09:40

Yes, I love your beard.

0:09:400:09:42

She's the shortest in the year

0:09:440:09:46

and the youngest in the year.

0:09:460:09:48

My mum's always said to me good things come in small packages.

0:09:550:09:59

I've always went by that, not with what anybody else thinks of me.

0:09:590:10:02

People are surprised that I do kick boxing

0:10:020:10:04

because, when they look at me,

0:10:040:10:06

they think that I'm like a girlie girl and everything.

0:10:060:10:09

Sporty Libby's after the top job in the girls' football team.

0:10:110:10:15

I don't think football's just for boys.

0:10:150:10:17

I think, like, there's loads of different sports

0:10:170:10:19

that girls can do as well.

0:10:190:10:21

I'm Libby and I'm here to prove

0:10:230:10:24

that I'll be a good football team captain.

0:10:240:10:27

Be careful who you pick, Mr French.

0:10:270:10:29

Did you not see her doing kick boxing?

0:10:290:10:32

Will year seven give her the chance to score her goals?

0:10:320:10:35

Greenwood!

0:10:350:10:37

And, after a night sleeping rough for charity,

0:10:430:10:46

Greenwood's youth worker Sean will put Libby on the spot.

0:10:460:10:50

How would you feel delivering a little five-minute presentation

0:10:500:10:54

-to the whole of year seven on homeless?

-No.

0:10:540:10:57

Will pint-sized Libby be walking tall?

0:10:580:11:01

Remember I said we had two new kids on the block?

0:11:060:11:09

Here's one of them - Archie.

0:11:090:11:11

There's nothing in it.

0:11:120:11:14

He started year seven at another school in the area.

0:11:140:11:17

Well, this picture is me in my old school.

0:11:170:11:20

Now he's decided he wants to come to a new school, our school.

0:11:200:11:24

Can't blame him, really.

0:11:240:11:26

But he's still nervous.

0:11:260:11:27

I'm a bit scared

0:11:270:11:29

but I feel like I'll be OK if, like, Spencer's going to be there

0:11:290:11:32

to help me through the day.

0:11:320:11:34

Don't worry, Archie, help is on its way.

0:11:340:11:36

-Wahey!

-Hey.

0:11:360:11:38

Morning, Spencer.

0:11:380:11:39

When I first started,

0:11:390:11:41

it was a lot easier

0:11:410:11:43

because, like, I knew the majority of the people there

0:11:430:11:46

and, like, you just fit in, like...

0:11:460:11:48

Sorry, Archie, are we keeping you awake?

0:11:480:11:51

Just get a good conversation.

0:11:510:11:52

Like even if you just bump into someone and you say sorry

0:11:520:11:54

and then they'll be like, "It's all right,"

0:11:540:11:56

and then you'll be like, "What's your name?"

0:11:560:11:58

And I'll be like, "Oh, I'm Spencer," and then, like, you become friends.

0:11:580:12:03

Spencer is Archie's best friend

0:12:030:12:05

and has been with us since the start of last term.

0:12:050:12:08

Here we go.

0:12:080:12:09

# And it feels like I am just too close to love you... #

0:12:090:12:15

He's good, isn't he?

0:12:150:12:16

That's me with him, by the way,

0:12:160:12:18

but more about me later.

0:12:180:12:20

As the term goes on,

0:12:200:12:21

we'll see Spencer putting his talents to the test.

0:12:210:12:24

But let's go back to Archie's first day.

0:12:270:12:29

Bye, Mum.

0:12:290:12:31

With Spencer in support.

0:12:310:12:34

OK, boys, it's Archie's first morning.

0:12:340:12:37

First impressions count, remember?

0:12:370:12:38

BELL RINGS

0:12:380:12:40

We're late for school on your first day.

0:12:400:12:43

Hands up who thinks that's NOT a good idea on your first day?

0:12:430:12:48

Now, can anyone spot what's wrong with Archie's uniform?

0:12:480:12:52

Miss McDermott, who's in charge of admissions, has.

0:12:520:12:55

I don't want to mess your hair.

0:12:550:12:56

We haven't thought this through, have we?

0:12:560:12:59

It's like he was always here. OK.

0:12:590:13:01

So, bag on. Let me have a look at you.

0:13:010:13:04

Very, very smart.

0:13:050:13:08

-He's a Greenwood boy.

-You are a Greenwood boy. You OK?

0:13:080:13:11

Welcome to Greenwood. OK, Archie?

0:13:110:13:13

-Thanks.

-Congrats.

0:13:130:13:16

At least Archie's got an old friend he can call on

0:13:190:13:21

to help him through the first few days.

0:13:210:13:24

Not like our other new boy, Eesa.

0:13:240:13:27

OK, Eesa, so this is your classroom.

0:13:270:13:28

Eesa's not just new to the school,

0:13:280:13:31

he's new to the UK, having moved here from the Middle East.

0:13:310:13:34

We did offer him the school tie.

0:13:360:13:39

I think it gave him a lot of joy that day

0:13:390:13:41

because he actually understood, "I'm in this school now, I go here,

0:13:410:13:44

"I look like all the other pupils I've seen on the way in."

0:13:440:13:47

Look at you. Very smart.

0:13:470:13:49

Everything in here is all for you.

0:13:490:13:52

Today isn't just Eesa's first day at our school,

0:13:520:13:55

it's his first day at school ever.

0:13:550:13:57

-TRANSLATION:

-My dad tried to send me to school

0:13:590:14:02

but he was told "No, you don't have enough money."

0:14:020:14:05

Then we came to live in Britain and now we have a better life.

0:14:050:14:09

We are very grateful.

0:14:090:14:10

Eesa's mother tongue is Arabic

0:14:110:14:13

and you've probably already worked out that he doesn't speak English.

0:14:130:14:17

-A...

-A. That's it.

0:14:170:14:20

Not yet, anyway.

0:14:200:14:22

Eesa is determined to learn English as quickly as possible.

0:14:220:14:27

If he can, it will change his life for ever.

0:14:270:14:30

Because Eesa only speaks Arabic, he's going to be in the accelerate class,

0:14:310:14:35

which is for kids who would find mainstream classes difficult.

0:14:350:14:40

Don't worry, Eesa, they'll be here in a minute.

0:14:400:14:43

Then there's Thomas.

0:14:440:14:45

The witch has given him a vision

0:14:450:14:47

of his best friend's son taking over his kingdom.

0:14:470:14:50

Sounds impressive, doesn't he,

0:14:500:14:52

but don't get the wrong idea.

0:14:520:14:54

There's another side to Thomas.

0:14:540:14:56

Slam dunk!

0:14:560:14:58

HE SHOUTS

0:14:580:15:00

Thomas, I will take that now.

0:15:000:15:02

One that means he's now on report.

0:15:020:15:05

Do you think you stayed focused during the lesson?

0:15:050:15:07

Not at the beginning, but during the end I did.

0:15:070:15:11

-Is that enough?

-Yeah.

0:15:110:15:13

The only reason I'm really naughty is because...

0:15:130:15:16

..cos I'm really smart,

0:15:160:15:18

me being naughty disguises the fact that I know a lot of things.

0:15:180:15:22

Remember, we've got cameras everywhere.

0:15:220:15:25

That's why we'll be able to see

0:15:250:15:27

if Thomas can make the most of his time in year seven.

0:15:270:15:31

Basically, the thing is, I want you to... Try to be more of a leader.

0:15:310:15:35

And make a very different impression on his teachers.

0:15:350:15:39

Bring me no more report. Let them fly all.

0:15:390:15:42

Till Birnam Wood remove to Dunsinane,

0:15:430:15:45

I cannot taint with fear.

0:15:450:15:47

That's Mr Elliott, by the way.

0:15:470:15:49

He's just one of the teachers here at our school.

0:15:490:15:51

Want to know what year seven think about their teachers?

0:15:510:15:55

Wait a minute! Who drew that?

0:15:550:15:57

Perhaps I'd better put my hands over my ears for this bit.

0:15:570:16:00

BELL RINGS

0:16:000:16:04

Three, two, one.

0:16:070:16:10

And face this way.

0:16:100:16:12

Definitely not Miss Richardson. Nope!

0:16:120:16:15

My favourite teacher?

0:16:150:16:17

That's hard.

0:16:180:16:20

I brought back some maple syrup and we have some pancakes as well.

0:16:200:16:24

Mr Elliott is my favourite teacher

0:16:240:16:26

because he is, like, he's really nice,

0:16:260:16:29

I've never had a detention off him and he never gives homework.

0:16:290:16:32

Sometimes I think the teachers here get a little bit too strict

0:16:320:16:36

about stuff like...your socks.

0:16:360:16:39

I think the pressure that they put on us will pay off

0:16:390:16:44

because you get some teachers that are so strict

0:16:440:16:47

and they like to do it in certain ways.

0:16:470:16:49

I want to see you lined up showing me year seven behaviour.

0:16:490:16:52

How can they do this every day?

0:16:520:16:54

And they do it for, like, five lessons a day every day.

0:16:540:16:56

If they are strict,

0:16:560:16:59

it helps you and you will be thankful for that later on in life.

0:16:590:17:03

-I like Miss Hanson, don't you?

-But, yeah...

0:17:030:17:06

-She's trying to be strict. Like...

-She starts to laugh herself!

0:17:060:17:10

Like, she's trying to be strict, but she can't, like...

0:17:100:17:13

She starts giggling and, like, she goes, "Can you please stop it?"

0:17:130:17:17

And, she is like... She starts laughing at herself.

0:17:170:17:20

We're like, "Why are you laughing at yourself?" And she goes...

0:17:200:17:23

Sometimes, no-one listens to her because she's shouting for nothing.

0:17:230:17:26

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-"Stop!"

0:17:260:17:28

STOP TALKING!

0:17:280:17:31

GIGGLING

0:17:310:17:33

Have they finished?

0:17:330:17:35

What were you doing there?

0:17:350:17:36

They didn't say anything about me, did they?

0:17:360:17:38

I'm Trev.

0:17:380:17:40

WHOOOOO!

0:17:400:17:41

Remember, a few years ago...

0:17:410:17:43

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:17:430:17:44

..I was a student here.

0:17:440:17:46

OK, it has changed a bit.

0:17:500:17:52

But, then again, so have I. I've now got kids of my own.

0:17:540:17:59

Get your stuff.

0:17:590:18:00

Though not at our school. Not yet anyway.

0:18:000:18:02

My working day finds me helping some of our 673 kids

0:18:040:18:08

follow their dreams and interests.

0:18:080:18:10

I'm in charge of performing arts and events.

0:18:140:18:16

That's things like helping with Comic Book Club.

0:18:170:18:20

What do you think?

0:18:200:18:21

Bah!

0:18:220:18:23

Sorting out the talent show.

0:18:230:18:25

Welcome to the year seven talent show!

0:18:260:18:29

And working with the cheerleaders.

0:18:290:18:31

Do this like you're trying to win a competition,

0:18:310:18:33

not that you're just trying to get out of here.

0:18:330:18:36

OK, go again.

0:18:360:18:37

GROANING

0:18:370:18:39

It sounds fun, doesn't it?

0:18:390:18:41

But, as you'll see, it's not always as easy as it sounds.

0:18:410:18:44

MAKES COMICAL SOUNDS

0:18:440:18:46

Just wait a sec.

0:18:460:18:48

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:18:480:18:50

That's fine, but, at the moment, all I'm bothered about is your costume.

0:18:500:18:55

BELL RINGS

0:18:570:19:00

It's break time on Archie's first day,

0:19:000:19:02

and he and Spencer are in the canteen.

0:19:020:19:05

I'm not saying, like I said last night... Don't stay around me 24/7.

0:19:050:19:09

OK? Act normal, be yourself, don't change for anyone. Just don't worry.

0:19:090:19:16

Be cool.

0:19:160:19:18

There's always going to be a few boys who think they've got

0:19:180:19:21

something to prove...

0:19:210:19:22

BELCHING

0:19:220:19:23

Just burped. Look at this tie, man.

0:19:230:19:26

..especially when they see there's someone new in town.

0:19:260:19:28

And this lot are no different.

0:19:280:19:30

Don't worry, Spencer is looking out for him.

0:19:410:19:43

Everyone was like, "Archie's here!"

0:19:460:19:48

And other people were just like, "Oh, he's new. Let's fight him."

0:19:480:19:52

But I didn't even know half of the people there.

0:19:520:19:54

So, like, didn't know why they wanted to fight me.

0:19:540:19:57

But now we're friends.

0:19:570:19:58

BELL RINGS

0:19:580:19:59

With break over, it's time for Archie's first proper lesson.

0:19:590:20:04

Music with Miss Hollingworth.

0:20:040:20:05

Quiet, please! Can I have silence?

0:20:080:20:12

Let's have a bit of a discussion about what you might already know

0:20:120:20:15

about reggae music.

0:20:150:20:16

Who is Bob Marley? Can you tell me who he is?

0:20:160:20:20

What was he famous for?

0:20:200:20:22

Is it that chilli sauce?

0:20:220:20:24

Er, not quite, Tyra!

0:20:250:20:27

But if you listen,

0:20:270:20:28

Bob Marley's got some good advice for Archie on his first day.

0:20:280:20:32

In fact, for all of year seven.

0:20:320:20:34

# Don't worry...

0:20:340:20:37

# About a thing

0:20:370:20:40

# Cos every little thing

0:20:400:20:43

# Gonna be all right

0:20:430:20:46

# Singing don't worry

0:20:460:20:50

# About a thing

0:20:500:20:53

# Cos...

0:20:530:20:54

# Every little thing's gonna all right. #

0:20:540:20:58

-It's good advice for our other new boy, too.

-Shake my hand. Good.

0:20:580:21:02

Afternoon. Good afternoon.

0:21:020:21:05

-Let's take a look at how Eesa is getting on.

-Good afternoon.

0:21:050:21:08

Thank you very much. How are we doing?

0:21:080:21:11

Say "Salam wa aleikum", or hello in Arabic, to your new classmates.

0:21:110:21:17

That's Molly.

0:21:170:21:18

She's Sam.

0:21:180:21:20

And this is Charlie.

0:21:200:21:21

Say "Hi," Charlie!

0:21:210:21:24

Charlie?

0:21:240:21:26

I think it must be really hard for Eesa because,

0:21:260:21:29

saying what Miss said, coming from another country can be difficult.

0:21:290:21:32

When they're allowed to go to school.

0:21:320:21:33

Weren't allowed to go to school, yeah.

0:21:330:21:35

And this is the first time he's been to school for nearly...

0:21:350:21:40

-His whole life.

-Basically, yeah.

0:21:400:21:43

-TRANSLATION:

-I'm going to school for the first time in my life

0:21:430:21:48

and I feel proud.

0:21:480:21:50

No, you stay there. Stay there.

0:21:500:21:52

Charlie is not going to let a little thing like language

0:21:520:21:54

get in the way of making friends.

0:21:540:21:56

Listen to your teacher. What she's saying.

0:21:560:21:59

Looks like Eesa may already have found a friend in Charlie.

0:21:590:22:02

I haven't introduced you to Charlie properly yet.

0:22:030:22:06

We've already had a glimpse of caring Charlie.

0:22:100:22:12

Write that. Write that in your own words.

0:22:120:22:15

And cheerful Charlie.

0:22:170:22:19

-Miss, I've made him happy.

-Just don't worry.

0:22:190:22:22

I would say I'm...

0:22:220:22:24

well, I'm funny, a little. Er...

0:22:240:22:28

Good to be around and helpful.

0:22:300:22:32

-Why are you mucking around with his mouse?

-I was helping him.

-No.

0:22:320:22:36

Instead of helping him, you were completely ignoring me.

0:22:360:22:39

But we'll also be seeing a lot more of cheeky Charlie.

0:22:390:22:42

Do you want to hear a massive burp?

0:22:420:22:45

HE BELCHES LOUDLY

0:22:450:22:46

-OK. Are you eating?

-Go and wait for me outside.

0:22:470:22:51

The thing about Charlie is that he's struggling with English and maths.

0:22:530:22:57

I can't do it, sir. It's hard.

0:22:570:22:59

He started the term in the accelerate group.

0:23:010:23:06

Who just threw that around the room?

0:23:060:23:08

As it came from here, where did...? Pardon?

0:23:080:23:11

-Jess.

-Excuse me! It wasn't me!

0:23:110:23:13

No, no, no.

0:23:130:23:15

Sorry, Charlie, we all saw it was you.

0:23:150:23:17

We'll also see Charlie as he tries his best to get

0:23:180:23:22

back into mainstream classes.

0:23:220:23:24

Nathan!

0:23:240:23:26

It will be tough, won't it, Charlie?

0:23:260:23:30

Who just threw that pen at me again?

0:23:300:23:32

-But he'll also have a chance to impress Mr French.

-A selfie then?

0:23:320:23:36

-As well as focus on his work.

-Miss, you've given us easy ones.

0:23:390:23:42

Yeah, but some people are struggling still.

0:23:420:23:45

I... I think I've only got one wrong. The first one.

0:23:450:23:48

But will it be enough to graduate from accelerate?

0:23:500:23:53

First impressions mean a lot to some of year seven. Take Vanessa.

0:23:590:24:03

She's smart...

0:24:060:24:07

No. No, not perfect. It's not perfect. The object of the class.

0:24:070:24:13

..helpful...

0:24:130:24:15

£11.28, please.

0:24:150:24:18

VANESSA TRANSLATES

0:24:180:24:20

..and when she first arrived at our school,

0:24:200:24:22

she was making all the right moves.

0:24:220:24:24

When I'm older, I really want to be a lawyer. I just...

0:24:240:24:27

I love debating as well.

0:24:270:24:29

But our cameras will spot Vanessa as she goes through an image change...

0:24:310:24:36

Vanessa!

0:24:360:24:37

-..that doesn't always go to plan.

-Put that in the bin now.

0:24:370:24:40

-You know better. Go!

-Can...?

-But it in the bin!

0:24:400:24:44

You're on report by my request.

0:24:440:24:47

I'm going to give you a warning.

0:24:480:24:50

Will she be able to stay out of trouble...

0:24:500:24:52

-OW!

-You're red carded. Go!

0:24:520:24:54

-I'm red car...?!

-Get out!

-DOOR SLAMS

0:24:540:24:56

..and get back on the right path?

0:24:590:25:01

Someone else with big dreams for the future is Taylor-Jay.

0:25:040:25:08

-You meet Justin Bieber and Joey Essex.

-Is that your plan?

0:25:080:25:14

Joey Essex is my dream husband.

0:25:140:25:16

I love music. I've made my own CD.

0:25:180:25:21

I could be out there walking the red carpet with Taylor Swift,

0:25:210:25:26

Rihanna, Beyonce, you never know.

0:25:260:25:28

The thing about Taylor-Jay is that she sometimes gets a bit distracted.

0:25:300:25:35

If we end up writing our own poem, I'm going to flip.

0:25:350:25:38

And bored.

0:25:380:25:39

SHE SIGHS

0:25:390:25:40

And tired.

0:25:400:25:43

Er, Taylor-Jay?

0:25:430:25:44

That's it.

0:25:440:25:45

I've actually spelt February right for once.

0:25:450:25:48

Progress. Progress!

0:25:490:25:51

I still don't know how to spell Wednesday.

0:25:510:25:54

But the thing about year seven is that there is a chance

0:25:560:25:58

to surprise even yourself about the things that you can do.

0:25:580:26:02

-Taylor, what did you get?

-I got 44%.

-The answer should be 44.

-Yay!

0:26:020:26:06

And we'll see her, if not on the red carpet,

0:26:080:26:11

then at least showing there is another side to Taylor-Jay.

0:26:110:26:14

No. No, because she likes Juliette.

0:26:140:26:16

Boom!

0:26:170:26:19

# Nothing at all

0:26:190:26:21

# Uh-oh-oh, uh-oh... #

0:26:210:26:25

And who knows? Maybe she was right about being famous after all!

0:26:280:26:32

Haw! That was so scary!

0:26:320:26:34

Yes!

0:26:360:26:37

But it's not just those guys. There's Callum and Courtney.

0:26:370:26:42

There's Molly and Milly. There's Josh and Dan. Or is it Dan and Josh?

0:26:420:26:49

And all their friends as well.

0:26:500:26:53

So, you'll just have to keep watching to meet them all

0:26:530:26:55

and find out what happens as their life in year seven continues.

0:26:550:26:59

0:26:590:27:00

0:27:000:27:02

Year seven get ready for action.

0:27:020:27:04

And the roles are reversed...

0:27:040:27:06

This is scary.

0:27:060:27:08

..as the boys are cutting it in the salon.

0:27:080:27:10

See, you make it look easy.

0:27:100:27:12

And the girls... CHEERLEADERS CHEER

0:27:120:27:14

..have their eye on the ball.

No, I can do it at home when I'm in the shower.
