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