0:00:02 > 0:00:05SCHOOL BELL
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Meet Year 7.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09What's up?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11It's the most important year of school so far.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13You're not here to have a laugh and a good time -
0:00:13 > 0:00:15- you're here to learn. - HE BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:00:15 > 0:00:17With so many changes,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19new friends...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21- Boom!- Miss, have you got a cloth?
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- ..and new teachers... - You are a Greenwood boy.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27..it's an exciting world to discover.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Wow!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32It can be fun, but sometimes, it can be tough.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36There are different challenges for everybody.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38We're in Year 7 and we're acting like three-year-olds.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41We've rigged another secondary school with loads of cameras.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Is this what you see when you look through a camera?
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Cos this is awesome.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48So you can find out exactly what happens.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50You're on report, by my request.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm Trev. HE LAUGHS
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I used to go to school here, but now I'm one of the teachers.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Last question, cos you're going to run out of time.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Welcome to Our School.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I need a wee.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Love them or hate them,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14school dinners are an essential part of the school day.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Today, we're following Rhea
0:01:18 > 0:01:23and Spencer on their mission to add healthy options to the school menu.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25If candyfloss is made of 100% sugar,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and you take away the sugar, what are you left with?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- No sugar.- No sugar.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You're just left with like, the curly bit.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Yeah. The curly bit. - What, the stick?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And we meet Molly, who's part of the school's Accelerate group -
0:01:37 > 0:01:41a class for kids that need a bit of extra support.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Her goal is to improve her reading, and focus more in lessons.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I would just like people to sit still and be quiet for a bit.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49I AM being quiet.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51SNORTING
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Molly lives at home with her mum, two sisters, stepdad,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04stepbrother, two dogs, and an iguana called George.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07She comes from a long line of travellers that go back generations.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Grandad was born into the fairground,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and his dad was born into the fairground.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Like, how long was he running the fair?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Grandad's 70-odd years of age.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I daren't say his proper age, Molly, but he's 70-odd,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and he's been doing it all his life.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25And today, Molly's helping to keep the family tradition going.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Molly!- Yeah?- You ready?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30We're going to the park now with your grandad.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31OK, coming.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Hello, Grandad.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39At weekends, she gets the chance to help out at her grandad's fair.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41One, two, three...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44We've got three kiddie rides.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48We've got a doughnut stall, and hook-a-bag. Would you like a go?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51She's also pretty good at serving the customers.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Give her a task, and Molly rises to the challenge.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58But if she gets bored, then trouble can be just around the corner.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00SHE LAUGHS
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Molly is dyslexic.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03This means that when she's reading,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06some letters appear jumbled on the page...
0:03:06 > 0:03:07This book's boring.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10..which makes it very frustrating.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14She's also a real fidget in lessons, and it's getting her into trouble.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Can I do this?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19You really have to sit down, or I'll get rid of you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21This is your final warning now. OK?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23She's distracting me.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25What have I done?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27She's had more than her fair share of yellow cards...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- SHE SCREAMS - My legs are stuck.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32..and spends a lot of her lesson time out in the corridor.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Oh, for God's sake! - Shut the door, Molly.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Molly's very lively. She likes to be the centre of attention.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42You always know that she's in the room.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Can I have my coat?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45And outside the room, for that matter.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- I need to get summat out of there. - Shut the door.- I need my coat.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Well, you're not getting it, so shut the door. - DOOR SLAMS
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54- Huh!- Phrrrrw!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Molly, can you put your pen down? Hhhh!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I was like that, "It wasn't me!"
0:04:00 > 0:04:01SHE LAUGHS
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Sit down!- Why?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Because I've told you to.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Oh, for God's sake!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Pack your attitude away, little girl.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- I don't like you.- Good.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I don't care. It's not going to stop me going to sleep at night.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I'm not here to be your friend. I'm here to be your teacher.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Don't quite know what planet you're from,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24that you think it's acceptable to speak to people the way that you do.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27But you've got to stop this huffing and puffing.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31That's what's getting you into the most trouble - it's your attitude.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Sorry. - Thank you. That's all I ask for.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37'If she's not kept active within the classroom,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39'her mind will wander, and she'll start thinking about what'
0:04:39 > 0:04:42other people are doing, instead of what she's meant to be doing.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And that's kind of where she tends to get in the most trouble.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48No-one's here. It's just me.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I want to sit on the end, I want to sit on the end...
0:04:51 > 0:04:55To help with her reading, Molly has daily ten-minute Toe By Toe sessions
0:04:55 > 0:04:57with teaching assistant Helen.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01It's a chance to be less distracted by fellow pupils.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Instead, she focuses all her attentions on the teacher's
0:05:04 > 0:05:05swivel chair.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Toe By Toe is like, if you don't know how to do your Hs
0:05:08 > 0:05:11the right way, you'll have to go to Toe By Toe, and then practise,
0:05:11 > 0:05:16and then practise your Bs and Ds, and your Ps and stuff - and your Os.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Well, I don't know why you have to practise your Os, but...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- SHE LAUGHS - Watch the chair...look, Moll.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Oh, who put the whiteboard there?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Was you a bit hyper in that class you just come out of?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Yeah.- Right, you need to calm yourself down, then,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35so we can get this done properly, OK?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Come on, then, sit down, now. - I'm getting this.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Come on, Molly - get a move on,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43otherwise your time will be up before you've even started.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45This stupid chair.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Right, sit down.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Are you quite sure you're happy now, Molly?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51'Some days Molly will say,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53' "I don't want to do Toe By Toe today.'
0:05:53 > 0:05:55"I'm not in the mood. It's boring."
0:05:55 > 0:05:57And then I'll just have a little chat with her,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00what's going on, and you know, what type of morning she's had,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03and then, ease her into it gently.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Molly makes B and E shapes with her fingers to help her work out
0:06:07 > 0:06:08which letter is which.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- B-A-T - bat.- Well done.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Molly's attention span is very short.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16She'll go off task quite easily.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I love fight, I do.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21After this one, could we do some Bs and Ds, or something?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- It can be Bs and Ds. Right, what's this one?- Bog.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well done, you got your B there. Well done.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Hey! - THEY LAUGH
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Normally, when you think about music lessons, you probably think of this.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Or this.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45But maybe not this.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- 'Time.- Once upon a time.'
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yes, this really is a music lesson.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And some of the class are finding it hilarious.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59THEY LAUGH
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Especially Spencer.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It was so funny, like, me and Courtney,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04we just kept laughing at it,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07and we kept, like, taking the Mick out of the man's voice doing it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09MUFFLED VOICE ON SPEAKER
0:07:09 > 0:07:11HE LAUGHS
0:07:11 > 0:07:15MUFFLED VOICE ON SPEAKER
0:07:15 > 0:07:17THEY LAUGH
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Round and around, round and round...
0:07:19 > 0:07:22MUFFLED VOICE ON SPEAKER
0:07:22 > 0:07:24VOICE: Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28VOICE IS SWITCHED OFF
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Ti-i-i-ime.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Like all Year 7s, Spencer can be easily distracted in class.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- HE RAPS:- Artificial amateurs aren't at all amazing
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Analytically, I assault, animate things
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Broken barriers bounded
0:07:42 > 0:07:45So, so, so, so, so, basically I'm bombarding.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Very nice, Spencer, but this IS a French class.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Anyway, head teacher Mr French thinks he's got what it takes
0:07:51 > 0:07:53to head up a special mission
0:07:53 > 0:07:56to make the school's lunch menu more healthy.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What I'd be really, really interested in is you
0:07:58 > 0:08:04leading a project to try to suss out which food is most popular,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07and what types of food people would really like to be sold here.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10And I don't know if that's something you might be interested in.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I mean, one of the things that we could do is,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17if we can come up with a plan, and maybe a campaign,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21or maybe we could change some of the food that's being sold here.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23What do you think?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Good. Yeah, it's a good decision. - Yeah?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I think I got a couple of ideas already, like for different food.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Yeah, what sort of things?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Hot dogs, or something.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Ooh! Hot dogs.- Like, with onions.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I used to quite like school dinners.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I wonder what the rest of Year 7 think.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45School dinners at this school are sometimes horrible.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48They're all right.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50My favourite school dinner is a roast dinner.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I had ketchup on toast today. Ketchup on crumpets yesterday.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Ketchup on Krispies tomorrow.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I have, like, a panini and they're really nice.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Maybe a muffin every now and again.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I just do that...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08And do like a whole sachet on one sort of crumpet
0:09:08 > 0:09:10and I make like a swirly snail thing.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I hate chicken burgers, but everyone likes 'em,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15cos they're really chewy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Like, on a Friday, it's not very nice,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19cos it's like really hard fish.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21If I have plain macaroni, it's fine,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25but when I have the cheese with it, I just go, puffff!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27There's not really much choices on a Friday,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30but there is, but there's, like, purple cabbage or something.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Like, things like that. - Pink beetroot, Rhea.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36No, it isn't. It's lettuce with purple.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- SHE LAUGHS - Yeah, that's beetroot.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It isn't beetroot!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Mr French has asked vegetable expert Rhea
0:09:48 > 0:09:51to get involved with the healthy-eating task.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Like Spencer, Rhea is a popular and lively member of Year 7.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57SHE SCREAMS
0:09:57 > 0:10:01My friends would describe me as funny.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03SHE LAUGHS
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I always laugh at things that are not even funny.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09SHE LAUGHS
0:10:09 > 0:10:11To help work out what's healthy and what's not,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14they've gone to see form tutor Mr Elliott.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Ice cream with tomatoes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17SHE LAUGHS
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Ice cream with...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21That's gross. Don't listen to Spencer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Ice cream with strawberries - that's healthy!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Ice cream with strawberries.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- The first part's not healthy. - Yeah, but what if it's fat-free?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Now you're talking, yeah...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Now we ARE talking.- Yeah, yeah. - You get me?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I don't know, like...a lettuce sandwich.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- What?! A lettuce sandwich? - HE LAUGHS
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Let's think about it, though.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's like having a salad, and having a piece of bread with it, right?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I've got one.- OK.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- Potato.- Mmm.- With...carrot shavings.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52SHE LAUGHS
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- No, that's good, that is. - I'll tell you right now,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57what I think I need to see a little bit more of would be some fruits.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Do you see this?- Yeah, cos they only do really salad, don't they?- Yeah.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Pots of strawberry ice cream. - Oh, yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Stop with the ice cream, unless it's fat-free.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06But it's fat-free.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10But listen, fruits, fruits would be great.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Apples.- Things like apples, normal strawberries, bananas, right?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- All that stuff.- Trifle.- Yeah.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19With cream, with raspberries, bits of orange...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- We could make a fruit cake. - and strawberries.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23They could make a fruit cake.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That's certainly food for thought.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28But I'm not sure they've got it exactly right just yet.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I wonder what other Year 7s think.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Healthy food's like, crisps and...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35No, it ain't.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37They're made of potato.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I like rubbish food.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I like chocolate cake and something like that.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Most of the girls and boys don't choose healthy food,
0:11:47 > 0:11:48they go for loads of like, junk food,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52and they get slushes and loads of chicken burgers.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Salad, cucumber.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Bananas.- My mum's lasagne.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00They mean at school.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03No, I don't really care if it's healthy or not, at least it's food.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05SHE LAUGHS
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You say that, Taylor-Jay, but have you ever
0:12:07 > 0:12:10looked at the ingredients in some of your favourite foods?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14"The raw meat materials used for pre-cooked, cooked products
0:12:14 > 0:12:18"are lower-grade muscle trimmings, fatty tissues, head meat and..."
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Head meat?- Ugh!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Did you just say that, Spence - head meat?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Yeah, it says head meat.- Ugh! - Head meat.- What's head meat?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- It's obviously the meat off the head.- Ugh!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30So what do you think about hot dogs, Spence, now that
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- you've read all that? - I used to really like hot dogs,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- but now I think I might be changing my mind.- Yeah?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Rhea's brought a box into school. The question is, what's IN the box?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I've got an animal. What is it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:55- There's a dog in there. You'll see in a minute.- It's a box.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Oh, no, don't open it yet. - What is it?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00It's a box. You can't see it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02It's certainly got everyone intrigued.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Can we have a go at the box, whatever it is?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05I will explain it in one second.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09If you guys want to explain a bit, or do you want me to say something?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Come to the front, Spencer.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14OK, then. Mr French here said that we need more healthier
0:13:14 > 0:13:17food at school, and this box is going to be like,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20you need to put your ideas in for, like, healthy foods.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, not junk food or anything.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Whoa!- Oh, yeah, a box.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oh, Rhea, you've done a nice job decorating that.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Oh, wow!- Healthy food ideas.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35What would you like healthy? You put your ideas in.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Sir, can we put McDonald's in it?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Taylor, don't be pathetic.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44And what about milkshake? I like milkshake.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46No, it has to be a healthy milkshake.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I'm going to put carrots.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Sir, he's put bacon in. You can't put bacon, only healthy foods.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Pringles are not healthy. Is that everyone?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Wait, wait, I've got another one.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- What is it?- Hot dogs.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Hot dogs.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02What is it with you guys and hot dogs?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I said hot dogs would be popular.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Yeah, but yous don't want to know what's in hot dogs.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08But I know it's pigs and that.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, it's pigs' feet.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Ugh!- Hot dogs!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14THEY ALL TALK
0:14:14 > 0:14:18You know, in fact, listen - you know when you eat burgers?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Rihanna, you know when you eat burgers?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22You're eating animals' feet.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Let's just make it healthy. Make it healthy. Come on.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Sir, we've got to go to another form.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Spencer and Rhea spend the rest of tutor-time collecting as many
0:14:32 > 0:14:35healthy menu suggestions as they can.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Just shove it in.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Down in Accelerate, someone new is about burst onto the scene.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Meet their new teacher...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49# Carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium. #
0:14:49 > 0:14:50- Is that it?- That's it now.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Excuse me, you're ignoring me, which is really RUDE!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Mr Lowe, he's crazy.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- I think you're right.- Crazy. Crazy.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Er, funny.- Funny.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Put the bag away! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Could I be the person who collects all the...- Noooo!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09SHE LAUGHS
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Nooooooo!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Sir?- Could you sit properly on the chair?- Can I say something?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- No, I'd rather you...- Nooooo! - SHE LAUGHS
0:15:16 > 0:15:19OK, just sit yourselves down. Sit down, please. Sit down, please.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Excuse me! Excuse me! Sit down, please. Sit down, please.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Sit down, please. Excuse me!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29His recipe for a good lesson -
0:15:29 > 0:15:32first, a pinch or two of cheesy singing.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38# Mamma mia, here I go again My, my, how can I resist you?
0:15:38 > 0:15:44# Mamma mia, does it show again My, my, just how much I miss you?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46# Yes, I've been broken-hearted... #
0:15:46 > 0:15:50'If you want to present yourself singing a silly song,'
0:15:50 > 0:15:53it'll be a little bit shocking in a school at first, but it's a
0:15:53 > 0:15:56way of getting people to see that, "Oh, OK, maybe he's on our side.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59"Maybe he likes a laugh as much as the next person."
0:15:59 > 0:16:05# Say, live and die, baam, baam Live and let...hang on... #
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- That's from Shrek. - Yeah, it is in Shrek. Very good.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- My cousin plays gui... - They do it when the king dies.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13That's right. My cousin plays guitar on that.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15That leads us nicely onto the second ingredient,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17a spoonful of name-dropping.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Have you seen Lord Of The Rings?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You know the bloke who plays Gandalf?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I worked with him about 20 years ago.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Have you ever seen a programme called Miranda?- Yeah.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30She married the one bloke, the other bloke's my mate.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Sir, can we start writing?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36And finally, mix in a generous portion of hammy acting.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38"Right, look spry!
0:16:38 > 0:16:41"I want to know the name of the man in the coffin going by,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43"and see you get the name right, too.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48"Sir, no need, I promise you, it was a friend of yours in days of old,"
0:16:48 > 0:16:53he says, "There came a privy thief, they call him Death, who kills us
0:16:53 > 0:16:57"all round here, and in a breath, he speared him through the heart.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00"Be primed to meet him wherever you go, that's what my mother said."
0:17:00 > 0:17:03So, we're doing a book out of your poems, and so...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- SHE BURPS - I need something for the cover.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06SHE BURPS
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I thought you could have a go at doing some self-portraits.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I don't like drawing. I'm not drawing, it's not art.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Excuse me, excuse me, as I know that not everybody likes doing
0:17:15 > 0:17:18self-portraits, what I thought I'd do is get you to do an ambigram.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- What's a cambigam?- So, give me a name.- Molly.- Molly. OK.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27M-O-L-L-Y. So I type in "Molly".
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- I click "generate".- Holly.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It says Molly, but if you look upside down, it also says Molly.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- So, an ambigram...- No, it don't.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- ..is something you can read both ways.- It could be Wally.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Are you an official teacher, or are you just a supply?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41No, I'm just pretending.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Mr French has got Spencer
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and Rhea together to go through the contents of the box.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Wow. That's a lot of responses.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- And a pencil.- Oh, that was Donnelle.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57More money - there's another 5p.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Look at that - we got 15p and a pencil.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Someone's actually drawn a chicken on that one. Very good.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Oh, watermelon and strawberries.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- That's healthy.- I think it says caterpillar.- Show me.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10SHE LAUGHS
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Hot dog, hot dog, hot dog.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14We never written it. Salad. Put that in "salad".
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Hot dog, hot dog. Have you rigged this, Spence?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Cos I know you love hot dogs.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20No, I haven't.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22See, another chicken salad there.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Five chicken salads. Another one.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- BOTH:- Five, six, seven...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30So, the votes are in.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36The biggest piles are for smoothies, chicken salad and...hot dogs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39How are we going to get round this, cos someone's rigged the box?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I tell you what, let's be fair, let's give it eight,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45even though there's a little bit of skulduggery going on.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Shall we write eight on there, then?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51A count of the remaining votes reveals...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So we're going to have smoothies,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08and we're going to have... chicken salad.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I reckon we're going to succeed in this.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12We ARE going to succeed, Spence.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15No point in doing it if we're not going to succeed, is there?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20In English, Molly's been working really hard
0:19:20 > 0:19:21on a poem about her family.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23So what's the best thing about your mum?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25She's a good cook.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Um, the finest cook...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- In the world.- ..in any cookbook.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Can you write that on a piece of paper?- YOU can write it down.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- No, no, I can't spell. - SHE LAUGHS
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Mr Lowe has joined Molly in her one-to-one session with Helen,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42and is keen for her to show off her latest piece of work.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Can you read it to us now?- Yeah. - Go on, then.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49"I love love hearts because you can go, you can go somewhere, you know.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51"My room is full of love hearts.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54"When my brother comes in, he always farts."
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Then I got pictures of love hearts.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58There's a picture of someone farting,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59and there's a picture of my brother.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02And with her confidence boosted,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Molly decides to show off her singing skills.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08# I know you lie, lie Cos your lips are moving
0:20:08 > 0:20:11# Tell me, do you think I'm done? #
0:20:11 > 0:20:14It looks like Molly's starting to make real progress -
0:20:14 > 0:20:17there's lots of Bs and Ds in this song.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Over in the canteen, it's the moment of truth for Rhea and Spencer.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30And as the queues start to form,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34there's not much time to prepare the rather large chicken salad.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Is that all the chicken?
0:20:36 > 0:20:37The chicken just looked, like,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39gigantic compared to how much salad you got.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It looks like you just killed a bird and plucked it and put it in here.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I was like, "Have you got a whole chicken on here?"
0:20:44 > 0:20:47And then they started laughing, and says, "No."
0:20:47 > 0:20:50And then it was, like, a really big chicken piece,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54with just a few little leaves of salad, and it was really funny.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57No, you have to have salad. Do you want some lettuce?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It looks nice, don't it?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Aysha, is it nice?- Yes.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03- Is it?- Very nice.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Do you want a smoothie?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08It was really delicious, and I think that that could actually
0:21:08 > 0:21:11encourage kids to start eating more healthy, and them to see
0:21:11 > 0:21:14that you don't have to exclude all the things that you love
0:21:14 > 0:21:18in your diet, but you can include some other ones and make a new diet.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Can I have a banana smoothie, please?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Yeah, do you want chicken salad? - Yes, please.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- I think the smoothie was really nice. I liked the smoothie.- Yeah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26I thought it was really nice,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28cos normally I don't, like, really eat salad,
0:21:28 > 0:21:33but then when I had it with the chicken, it was actually quite nice.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34What do you think of it, sir?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Well, I haven't tried it yet. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:37 > 0:21:38I was about to take a bite, so...
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Mr Cross, he says, "This looks phenomenal."
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So, like, I was proud, because me and Rhea served that food.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Good on you.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49THEY LAUGH
0:21:49 > 0:21:50The chicken salad is selling really well,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53but there's about to be some stiff competition
0:21:53 > 0:21:55as the hot food counter opens.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Anyone want chicken salad?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09The fish and chips are reeling them in,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12and there goes a chicken burger, and another.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15In fact, they're selling like hotcakes.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16And so are the cakes!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I went up to get a wrap,
0:22:19 > 0:22:20and then Spencer said to me,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22"Put that wrap down and get some chicken!"
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I was like, "I don't want chicken!"
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It's still alive.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27SHE LAUGHS
0:22:27 > 0:22:29But plenty of other students did,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32and it's not long before all of the chicken has been snapped up.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Yes, we made it!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Which isn't great news for Archie.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Unfortunately, we've run out of chicken.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39So there's no chicken?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Well, everyone else had some nice chicken to eat,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45and a nice salad and, um, nice... and they had a selection.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I had about four pieces of purple onions,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and some pepper.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Do you want some chicken juice on it?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Yes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59And I had chicken juice, just to top it off, to make it look on point.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00You do it like this.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Urgh! - RHEA LAUGHS
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Great chicken juice.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05THEY LAUGH
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Oh, yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09And guess whose idea was that?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10- Yeah.- Spencer's.- Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13They never touched it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16So, overall, their campaign was a great success,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19and the healthy eating message seems to have got through.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You need, like, a balanced diet, kind of.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Like, you need fruit and veg, and you can have meat in there,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29but just don't eat burgers and hot dogs all the time.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I never used to eat salad, but now I've saw, like,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35other people enjoying it, I want to have...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I want to eat more salad than I already do.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43After lunch, Accelerate are having a maths lesson,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47and Miss Yates has come up with a fun way to get them all learning.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's time to play Molly's favourite...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Molly, 10 x 3?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54- 30.- 30, well done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:562 x 9?
0:23:56 > 0:23:5718.
0:23:57 > 0:24:0018, well done. 6 x 10?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Yeah, shout it out, guys, if you know it.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03- 60.- 60, yes.- Yes!
0:24:03 > 0:24:0510 x 7?
0:24:05 > 0:24:0710 x 7? 70.
0:24:07 > 0:24:0870. 10 x 6?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- 60.- Yeah, 9 x 3?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16(9 x 3. 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 21, 24...)
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- 28.- No, close.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19- 27?- Yeah.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Oh, Miss, I need 15.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Next one, 3 x 5?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- 15!- 15.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Yeah, bingo! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Said that a bit too loud then.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30It WAS a bit, Molly.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36As the weeks go by, Molly's getting to know her teachers better,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39and her attitude in class has improved.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Molly, give me another 2D shape.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43A pentagon.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Good girl! Well done!
0:24:45 > 0:24:46If you give her a task to do,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49you know that she's going to try and do it to the best of her ability.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Check.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Don't tell them all of them, Molly.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It is. Ain't it, Miss, it's a check, number two?
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Ssh!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Ain't it, Miss? - Come, come over here.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Check.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04She likes a lot of praise, so she tries to do things well,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06when she's in the right frame of mind.
0:25:06 > 0:25:1124, 28, 32, 36, 40.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- OK.- Why was it only me? - Cos you're so clever.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18You can have some vivos for being a good girl and joining in.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Today, Accelerate are being taught by head of maths Mr Hodgkiss.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25He's got them working on a code-breaking task,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and Molly has beaten all her friends to the finish line.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Sir, I'm finished.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33With a bit of luck, she might get a few vivos -
0:25:33 > 0:25:35points the children collect for good work,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39which they can turn into rewards at the end of term.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41To Cat, he's a cheat...
0:25:41 > 0:25:44HE MUTTERS
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Taste the...tea?
0:25:47 > 0:25:48This is a brilliant piece of work.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Can you tick 'em if they're right? - I'll tick 'em if they're right.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- They are right. - How many vivos have I got?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56You got 20 vivos for that, and 10 vivos for this.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- So you've got 30 vivos. - I've got 30 vivos, guys.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59- Now, Molly, Molly, Molly.- 30!
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- I'm like, "Ha, in your face." - SHE LAUGHS
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Now, that is not the appropriate way to respond to 20 vivos,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- or 30 vivos, is it?- Yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09You say, "YES!" quietly.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11But if you shout out to other people,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- it's not very nice for them to hear. - Yeah, but I won.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16They've just missed out on it. They just missed out on it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18You've done really well there. You smashed it.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Thanks to Helen's efforts,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22she's also made big steps forward in her reading.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27I went up one year and three months.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I like the fact that you've got your Bs right there, as well.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You didn't get them mixed up, so that's really good.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33That one, uncomfortable.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Oh, well done!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37That's a real big word, well done.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Well, all our class asked Helen to be our teacher,
0:26:40 > 0:26:45and she went, "I can't, because I have to go on my lunch."
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- I was like, "Please stay." - SHE LAUGHS
0:26:48 > 0:26:51The first year of secondary school is full of new challenges,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54but they needn't be hard to overcome.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55So here's one final recipe
0:26:55 > 0:26:59that's guaranteed to make your experience of Year 7 a success.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Firstly...
0:27:03 > 0:27:07The more you put into school life, the more you'll get out of it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Secondly, knuckle down and listen to your teachers.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12And the icing on the cake -
0:27:12 > 0:27:16it might sound obvious, but always try your best.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- RAPS:- Apples, oranges, mango and pear
0:27:18 > 0:27:19If you eat this you'll grow some hair
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Get your five a day Don't eat no hay
0:27:21 > 0:27:24It's not very healthy You don't get this at The Belfry.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Oh!
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Give him a round of applause.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Whoever's walking out, walk out now.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Tensions run high in the school cheerleading troupe...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Do we like the green?
0:27:35 > 0:27:36- ALL:- No.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37HE LAUGHS
0:27:37 > 0:27:40..and there are two new superheroes in town.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44THEY LAUGH
0:27:44 > 0:27:45What looks orange?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Taylor, most of the time, looks orange.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49HE LAUGHS
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I don't mean to sound rude or anything, yeah,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53but you know the juice of beetroot -
0:27:53 > 0:27:55if you drink loads of the juice,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58when you have a wee, it comes out like, pink.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Urgh!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You pee a lot when you eat loads of grapes.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Where did you hear that from?!
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- My nan. It's true. - SHE LAUGHS
0:28:05 > 0:28:07That's the worst idea I've ever heard.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Don't take the mick out of my chicken salad.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Good joke.
