0:00:02 > 0:00:04SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Meet year seven.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Awesome.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12It's the most important year of school so far.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14You're not here to have a laugh and a good time,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16you're here to learn.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17With so many changes...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..new friends...
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Miss, have you got a cloth?
0:00:22 > 0:00:23..and new teachers...
0:00:23 > 0:00:25You 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 > 0:00:30It can be fun,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32but sometimes it can be tough.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36There are different challenges for everybody.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39We're in year seven and we're acting like three-year-olds.
0:00:39 > 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 > 0:00:48..so 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.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I used to go to school here,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58but now I'm one of the teachers.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Last 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.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Friendship groups in year seven are incredibly important but
0:01:11 > 0:01:14they're not always straightforward.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15It's a time that can make...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17That's better.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19..or break them.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I'm not having you speak about people like that, that's horrible.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Today on Our School, we meet self-confessed geeks
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Callum and Daniel
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and trainee cheerleader Kiara.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Kiara is part of the year seven cheerleading troop,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38which is run by myself and head coach Julie.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42The girls meet once a week and are currently choreographing
0:01:42 > 0:01:44a routine for the school's talent show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49During rehearsals, Kiara is very focused, something that
0:01:49 > 0:01:52doesn't always come so easily for her in class.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53I need a wee.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I do not care, it is in the middle of class.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Need to write down a big spider diagram, as much stuff about reggae.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh, is it that chilli sauce?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Be quiet, do not speak any more.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- I've had enough. - I've got a weak bladder.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Enough. Both of you now have detentions for speaking.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I told you to stop talking and you did not stop.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Oh, my God, man, I need a wee.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I do get detentions quite a lot.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I wouldn't say I'm the naughtiest,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22but I'm wouldn't say I'm the goodest either.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24That's your first warning, Kiara.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm going to put them in the bin after.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Kiara is a very, very smart, very good student in English.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31She has the problem that a lot of them do,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33is that she just gets distracted.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Kiara, you can go stand outside. - I haven't even done anything.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Yeah, you have.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Figure out how to be in class without laughing
0:02:40 > 0:02:42and then you can come back in.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I don't have any problems with her, she's just a little
0:02:44 > 0:02:47bit talkative sometimes, but we're working on that.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49You need to pay attention.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Can you wait from outside as well, please?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I wasn't flapping around.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56OK.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You're not focusing. There is something going on there,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04people having a laugh and not knowing what to do.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I've got a problem with that, cos I've got a whole class
0:03:07 > 0:03:08to look after.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I cannot spend all my time with you, trying to let you focus.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Now you've taken me away from the rest of the class.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It's not going to happen. You're not here to have a laugh
0:03:22 > 0:03:24and a good time, you're here to learn.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28If you happen to have fun, yes, but this is not the time.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32It feels really bad to get told off by Mrs Saunders and all
0:03:32 > 0:03:36the teachers cause it makes you feel, like, really, really naughty.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39You backchat, you interrupt,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43you're not focusing and I'm not happy with it.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I'm talking to a student, you demand my attention right there and then.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I didn't mean it like that.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- No, that's what you did.- Sorry. - That's what you did.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Your sorry doesn't count at the moment
0:03:54 > 0:03:57cos that student didn't get all my attention.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58It is wrong.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I was concentrating, though.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You were not.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10I was, sir, the...
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I'm still writing and you interrupt me.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'I don't know, I just feel like I just need to talk'
0:04:20 > 0:04:23and then they say, "Well you talk at break," and I'm like,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26"I know, but it's when you're at break, you don't find anything
0:04:26 > 0:04:28"to talk about, but when you're in lesson,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30"you find lots of things to talk about."
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Shush! I can't concentrate.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Anybody that's involved in the cheerleading -
0:04:39 > 0:04:40you know who you are -
0:04:40 > 0:04:44at lunchtime today, you need to go down to 102.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Give us an A. - A!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Give us an R. - R!
0:04:52 > 0:04:53- Give us a T. - T!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56What have you got?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Art?- Thank you, good grief!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Cheerleading's been done for quite a while in this school
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and I think it's great for team building.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07You know, looking, they have to keep in time with each other,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08but also plan their routine.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- I have some really bad news about your cheerleading.- What?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Miss Richardson can't be here today.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Aw...- All right?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17But that leaves us with a problem.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19What's that?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It means that you lot have got to be in charge.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Yes!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26'It's always good when any group of pupils get together'
0:05:26 > 0:05:29and they really have to think about what they do, share ideas,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32come to an agreement and work together to produce it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Your outfits, your possible routine, possible music...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Who's getting lifted.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40All right? OK, brilliant.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44But instead of getting themselves organised, it's not long
0:05:44 > 0:05:48before a row breaks out about how many girls are allowed in the team.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Will everyone shut your gobs? No-one's getting kicked out.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53No, no, Trev did say that.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- I'm going to quit. - 'Aw, don't quit, Cerys!'
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Excuse me, come back here.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03'People were storming out and then people were going after them
0:06:03 > 0:06:05'and I was like, well, no, don't go after them,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07they're going to come back eventually.'
0:06:07 > 0:06:09So just come back, we'll decide it.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11If they don't like it then that's their fault - they stormed out.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Come back in the room. Oh, do you know what?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I walked out because Kodi was like, "I'm going to get Miss Richardson,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19"this is annoying." Then I walked out to get Kodi
0:06:19 > 0:06:21and then Katie walked out, like,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23"I'm not being kicked off. They can kick me off,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25"but I'm going to quit if they kick me out."
0:06:25 > 0:06:27So Katie walked out and then we got everyone back in
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and then Kiara's like, "Had it, not doing this no more,"
0:06:30 > 0:06:31long speech.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Do you know what? We're in year seven and we're acting
0:06:33 > 0:06:36like three-year-olds. Don't walk out, don't follow people -
0:06:36 > 0:06:38that's a sheep. You're not a sheep, are you?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I wasn't, I was talking to Kodi.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43You can't just follow the leader. If you follow the leader...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Sorry, have I missed a bit?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47No, it's not. We don't follow people.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48You're the only person...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Don't give me a dirty look. You're the only person.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Seriously, Dulcie's her own person, Cerys is her own person,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Vanessa's her own person. How many people?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00What, so you think if I walked out Vanessa would then follow me?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02No, she wouldn't, cos she's her own person.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04You are, though, that's why you're getting your bags
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and you're walking.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Listen, whoever's walking out, walk out now.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Right? OK, then. Then let's close the door
0:07:13 > 0:07:15and let's get on with what we're doing.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18The people that are out there will come back in if they want to.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I feel like I'm on the Jeremy Kyle Show, OK?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Right, can we sort this out and write down our ideas and stuff?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Yes, please!
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Over on the rugby pitch, Callum and Daniel are poised
0:07:34 > 0:07:35and ready for action.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Dramatic start.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Ah!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I think I might be bleeding a bit.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Go on, Charlie!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03No!
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Oh!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Callum and Daniel have been best mates for years
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and do everything together.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Wait for me!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21On the weekends after school we usually play out,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24play video games,
0:08:24 > 0:08:29and sometimes we might go to each other's houses for tea or something.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Watch this, you ready? Look, watch.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Whoo!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Hello, yes!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Daniel, is all your work stuck in? - Yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47So if I pick up your book and shake it, nothing will fall out?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Good.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Oh, I love my masterpiece.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Callum and Daniel are settling down to their work.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Well, that's what it looks like.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- TEACHER:- The more expensive lemonade,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07the less acidic - is that right?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08It's not even a bendy pen.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10No?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12No, it's not even a bendy pen.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14CRACK!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18They seem to get through a lot of pens.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22But life can't be all fun and games -
0:09:22 > 0:09:25at some point you have to knuckle down and do some work.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Callum, you'll be back after school if you're not doing your work.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- I'm doing it, sir.- You need to have a summary of what has happened
0:09:31 > 0:09:33in the play so far, so write it down.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36When things get a bit too dull for Callum, he has a few tricks up
0:09:36 > 0:09:38his sleeve to relieve the boredom.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41For starters, there's his singing.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44# Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me? #
0:09:44 > 0:09:48# And they called it puppy love. #
0:09:48 > 0:09:50# Trouble, trouble, trouble. #
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh, I know the next one.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54HE HUMS
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Do you know what my name would have been if I was a girl?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Callumina.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09What?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Wait for it...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Claire.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Thanks for sharing that, Callum.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17The boys' other major distraction is their love of drawing
0:10:17 > 0:10:18and comic books.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I draw a lot in lessons. And plus, it keeps you concentrating
0:10:22 > 0:10:24sometimes, cos I get really distracted easily.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- That's how you know I like comic books.- Wow.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32They've decided to try to put this passion to good use
0:10:32 > 0:10:33and start up a comic book club.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38It's break time and I'm helping them to create some posters to
0:10:38 > 0:10:41advertise it around the school.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42What do you think?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Bang!- Oh, cool.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm doing the pow one.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51When I get my pug I'm going to dress him up as Spider-Man.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54What would your superhero name be, if you was a superhero?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Danny Dazzle.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Danny Dazzle, I like that. What's your superhero power?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03To cure people, my one would be, cos I'm Calpol.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Cure people?- Yeah, cos I'm Calpol.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09My mum that name and she started calling him Calpol.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm like, "Mum, his name's Callum, stop it."
0:11:11 > 0:11:12I like that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15You ever heard of comic conventions?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yeah, it's like...
0:11:17 > 0:11:20When, like, you dress up as a superhero from a comic
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and then go to, like, a convention thing?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I happen to know that there's one of those happening in Birmingham
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- really soon. Like, in the next couple of weeks.- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So wouldn't it be cool if we went along to that?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So I'm thinking maybe that could be our focus for your club.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36What do you think?
0:11:36 > 0:11:37- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39'There's only two of them at the moment,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'but hopefully these posters will persuade
0:11:41 > 0:11:43'some more kids to come along.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47'After all, who doesn't love a superhero?'
0:11:49 > 0:11:52My favourite superhero is Iron Man.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Superman.- Batman.- I've got two.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Ah!- Ow!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Superman, cos he can fly.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59He can blow, like... He goes like that
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and then, like, loads of people just go flying away.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I like Superman flicking his hair there.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Sometimes my hair's like him, you know.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Not today cos, like, hairspray.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Hulk.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I'd be Spider-Man if I was a superhero.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- My favourite superhero is... - ..The Incredible Cerys.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17And mine is... What's mine?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Captain Kelsey.- Woohoo!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'll be Catwoman.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Cats have nine lives. - My cat didn't.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I like Catwoman.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Got a tail like Catwoman and that's it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34What's her name and she's a cat?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35- Catwoman.- Batwoman.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Batwoman?- Yeah, Batwoman.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38That's not a cat.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43'The year seven cheerleading group are meeting to sort out
0:12:43 > 0:12:44'their costumes.'
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- There we are, we've got them. - 'That's the idea, anyway.'
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I really have a bad problem,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Who's said they're coming to mine at nine o'clock?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Cos apparently everyone's coming to mine at nine o'clock
0:12:53 > 0:12:54and I didn't say that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55What does that...?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- No-one's saying that now.- Tonight? - No...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00This is... Whoo!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I don't want everyone to come to mine at nine o'clock.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04OK, guys, listen, listen, listen.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I don't know who's going to do my hair. I'll have to do it myself.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Exactly! Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13OK, girls, shh. Girls, just come back, come back to...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16So, this is... Come to me. This is exactly...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Right, you've given me a great example of what makes things
0:13:20 > 0:13:22difficult for yourselves. So we're talking about costume
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and you've talked about who's coming to your house at nine o'clock...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- No, but...- ..and who's bringing straighteners. Whoa!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I didn't say... I didn't want... I don't want them to come,
0:13:31 > 0:13:32they just said they would.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36But that's fine. But, right, what me and Julie
0:13:36 > 0:13:38don't need to do... We've got our own friends,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41we don't need to get involved in all your business of who's meeting where
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and who's having their hair done at whose house and who lives where,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47when, which, where, what, whatever - that's for you to sort out.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49We want to sort your costume and we haven't yet,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51So it's those sorts of things that you have to keep outside.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54That's like your own sort of friendly business.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55I just wanted to say that so...
0:13:55 > 0:13:59So at the moment, all I'm bothered about is your costume.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- OK.- So...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03EVERYONE TALKS AT ONCE
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Shh, girls, let's not go down that road again.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07We've just been there, stop.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Listen to me, girls.- Last question.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Last minute, last minute.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12We're going to run out of time.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15My hairy fingers, do we like the green?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16- ALL:- No.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Ha-ha!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I think that cheerleading's very fun and entertaining
0:14:25 > 0:14:29because it gives you... keeps you fit.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31HE CHANTS
0:14:35 > 0:14:39What do you even do there, like, in cheerleading?
0:14:39 > 0:14:40You cheerlead.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It's a bit like dance.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47You put on a show, with lifts and dance moves.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50They jump quite a lot with the human pyramids
0:14:50 > 0:14:53and then they throw them up and then catch them.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54- I think it's like pompoms.- Attitude.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57You have to do star jumps.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02You're just going, "E, R, E, R, E, Z, R," jump!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Sometimes it can involve pompoms.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Don't you, like, get blue and white dresses?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's like a dance, really, but you get lifted and, like, pompoms
0:15:09 > 0:15:12and stuff, and skirts and stuff like that.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Sounds really boring. - You would be good.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's for girls.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24- Hello.- Hello.- Hello.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27'It's the first comic book club meeting and the boys have
0:15:27 > 0:15:28'managed to double their numbers.'
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Four people.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31'And I've got some exciting news.'
0:15:31 > 0:15:33In this envelope...
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Is it tickets?- ..we have some tickets to go to Comic Con.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37- What?- What?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40'If you're going to go to a comic convention, surely you need
0:15:40 > 0:15:42'to dress up as superheroes?'
0:15:42 > 0:15:44You guys now, the task needs to become
0:15:44 > 0:15:46about you guys designing those characters for your...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48We're going to look like dorks.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50How do you know you're going to look like...?
0:15:50 > 0:15:51We're dorks just for coming here.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54It's Comic Con! Everybody will be dorks!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Isn't that the idea of comic book club?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Are you excited about going to Comic Con?- Yes.- Good.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03'The boys set to work designing costumes for the big day.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05'Let's hope they can come up with some original ideas.'
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Mine's going to be...I'm drawing a circle and an X, and that's X-Men.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Mine's going to be a little logo like that,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16like a diamond shape with an S in it. Oh, wait, that's Superman.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I'm going to have a bat backpack.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23THEY LAUGH
0:16:30 > 0:16:31It's Callum!
0:16:33 > 0:16:34That is not me!
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I got the eyes.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I thought you said you was a good drawer?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I am!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Despite a lot of mucking about,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I think they're starting to get somewhere.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Our cheerleaders are taking a break from rehearsals to work on
0:16:54 > 0:16:58another important aspect of their routine - trust.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01To have a good team, people have to trust each other
0:17:01 > 0:17:03and not argue as much.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06'Quite right, Hayley, especially if you're going to attempt
0:17:06 > 0:17:08'throwing people up in the air.'
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yes! Done it, wicked.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16'I think they've got the idea. Time to take it a step further -
0:17:16 > 0:17:18'bring out the blindfolds.'
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- What if a bull comes into the room? - A bull?- Yeah.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24'I don't think there's any bulls around here.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28'Anyway, one thing I know about these girls is they love to talk,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30'so this exercise is all about communication.'
0:17:30 > 0:17:32So you just step up.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35'It was scary a bit because, like, we had to go with someone that
0:17:35 > 0:17:37'we didn't really know as much'
0:17:37 > 0:17:42and, like, we had to wear blindfolds and walk on the tables.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Big step, big step up. All right, all right, one step.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48All they told us was, like, "Go a little bit further, go left,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51"go right," and that's all they told us.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Oh, careful, careful! Jump.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Feet together.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56This is hard.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I was like, "I'm going to fall off the tables."
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Julie is going to sort a lift out now where you just
0:18:01 > 0:18:04all stand on each other's shoulders cos you trust each other.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05- What?!- Up to six people high.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Not happening, girls, that's not happening.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10'Maybe something a little simpler to start off with.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13'Armed with this new level of confidence, Julie gets the girls
0:18:13 > 0:18:15'to perform their first lift.'
0:18:15 > 0:18:17From here, you're holding the legs,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20you're going to come up and a little bit forward.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22OK, one, two, three, jump up.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Straight. Lock, lock, lock your elbows.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Can you push up? Push up, push up.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Straight arms.- That's it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30So you've got to try and push yourself up.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You need to hold her. Have you got her waist?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- You're next.- Yeah, I was going to say, is it your turn?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36OK, and bring her down.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Brilliant, well done.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41It was quite scary.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It's lunchtime and the boys have been unleashed
0:18:46 > 0:18:48into the playground to let off some steam.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13But as the boys head back inside, Callum's friends Jack and Reiss
0:19:13 > 0:19:16comes to blows and Callum is quick to jump the rescue.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21He decides to take Jack to see the school's youth worker, Sean.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Jack was very upset at the time so Callum was very supportive
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and he brought him down to my room.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It found out that there was an incident between Jack
0:19:31 > 0:19:33and Reiss and Callum was in the middle
0:19:33 > 0:19:38and wanted to sort it out because he's friends with both of the boys.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I know how it feels to get bullied and it's not very nice,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43so luckily there's not much here.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Right, then...
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Tell me what exactly happened at breaktime.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53The reason why I hit him is cos I saw his hand go behind me...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Yeah.- ..on his shadow and I felt something hit off my back
0:19:56 > 0:19:59and I thought he had punched me in my back or something.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01OK, so you've seen the shadow.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Yeah, and thought he had hit me.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04But you didn't feel anything?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06No, I felt something hit me.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07OK, so you felt something.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- And where did he punch you? - Right here.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Right there. Are you OK?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Yeah? OK.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Sorry, Reiss.- Good lad, but you've got to keep hands to yourself.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm just saying this in general, OK?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22We don't tolerate that behaviour at this school.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24All three of you are good friends, aren't you?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Yeah.- Me and Reiss since nursery.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Yeah? So, are we able to forget this?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Yeah, put it down to a bit of a misunderstanding, OK?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm glad you've apologised, OK?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I think it was just a little mess around that just got out of hand.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It's got out of hand, yeah. I think that as well.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45OK, I'm glad you're OK,
0:20:45 > 0:20:51- and I'm really pleased with you for bringing Jack up to me...- Uh-huh.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54..and protecting him. You know, that's really, really good from you.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Good friendship.- It is, and that's what you need, that's what you need
0:20:57 > 0:20:59when you go to secondary school.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02OK, so can we have a group hug or a group handshake
0:21:02 > 0:21:04and "really sorry", yeah?
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Yeah?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Well done, boys. You're growing up.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's fun, isn't it, growing up?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's after school and the cheerleaders are in the canteen.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26They're getting ready to perform their routine for the first time
0:21:26 > 0:21:28in front of other talent show wannabes.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Julie's been teaching the girls a new lift which,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37surprise, surprise, is causing the team a few problems.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I need someone in front of me.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The role everyone, like, really thinks of our cheerleading is
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- when you get thrown up in the air like...- The high flyer.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Yeah. Like, Vanessa would want to get lifted then Kiara would want
0:21:49 > 0:21:52to get lifted and then, like, Millie would start crying and then
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Shelby or someone will start crying because they can't get lifted.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Every time, like, someone got something wrong...
0:21:58 > 0:22:00But some people were like, "You're doing that wrong,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02"you need to go and watch us first,"
0:22:02 > 0:22:05and then, like, they got into a big argument and everything.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Loads of them were like, "I'm the boss, I'm telling you what to do."
0:22:12 > 0:22:15It just seemed like everybody wanted to be thrown,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17everybody wanted to be thrown up.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21OK, time's up. Let's see how the routine is coming along.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30That looks all right! I'm enjoying this.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Thank you, Ashley.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Girls, so, do this like you're trying to win a competition,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59not that you're just trying to get out of here.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01OK, go again.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Aww!
0:23:07 > 0:23:11ECHOING VOICE: Meanwhile, across town in the suburb of Metropolis...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Well, Birmingham,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15our two young superheroes set out on a quest
0:23:15 > 0:23:19to create the ultimate costume for their trip to Comic Con.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Meet...
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Oh, that's really good.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28And...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I got fabric pens and I'm not afraid to use 'em.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37There we go, the cape is done.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41The idea for my design for Comic Con is like animatronic
0:23:41 > 0:23:43kind of things, like Chuck E Cheese.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46This is Freddie. He's the main one in the band.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48This is Bonnie, just Freddie's friend.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52And this is Chica. She's the girl and the back-up singer.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53And this is Springtrap.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59He's basically been forgotten about for 30 years and he's moulded away.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02This is my logo. It's like an L in front of a yellow blob
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and it looked cool on the logo, so over here.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08But will our superheroes will be ready in time?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09- Do you know what I've just noticed? - What?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I've done it backwards.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Have you?!
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oh, no!
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Finally, the day has arrived. Ludecris and Springtrap,
0:24:22 > 0:24:27driven by Mum and Dad, are ready to make their debut as superheroes,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29and they're in excellent company.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33As a bit of a geek myself, this place looks like paradise.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Oh, look at that woman!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44A normal person. The best costume ever, a normal person.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Oh, my God, crazy-looking people.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Dan look behind you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Groot is approaching.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05In another part of the arena, a fight is drawing in the crowds.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Imagine if it flipped turning those over.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25What a Ludecris idea.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Maybe start with something a bit smaller,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30like this ferocious little dustpan robot.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Oops!
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I crashed the robot once and the guy said, "Be careful."
0:25:39 > 0:25:41When he had a go, he crashed it, like, ten times.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47After all the excitement, the boys make their way to visit artist
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Lee Bradley, who's about to bring their comic book alter egos to life.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56It's really exciting seeing somebody draw, like, my best friend
0:25:56 > 0:25:58as a superhero right in front of me.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Whoa, that's really cool.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I've never seen that, like, a skin-colour pen before.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09It's nice to know all the tools he uses for it as well, so...
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- Pens.- Yes.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12That's all the tools that he uses.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14But he used that really inky one on the side.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15It's a pen.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It's the moment our superheroes have been waiting for,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23as Lee hands over his masterpieces.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26The boys are speechless.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I think that means they're impressed.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Thank you.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33- They're awesome.- Really good.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37I like how he did all them, like, the miniature things here as well,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39and your jeans.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So, it sounds like you've had a really good day, boys.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Yes, we're a part of something here.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45We've found our community.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47And it's a growing community.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Comic book club is going from strength to strength.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54When these guys started at secondary school, they had no idea
0:26:54 > 0:26:57there would be so many amazing things to try out and as
0:26:57 > 0:27:00they've discovered, if you give things a go
0:27:00 > 0:27:01and put in a bit of effort,
0:27:01 > 0:27:06you'll find yourself being a part of something really special.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08OK, we're getting somewhere!
0:27:10 > 0:27:11We meet Sam...
0:27:11 > 0:27:13CLARINET SQUEAKS
