0:00:05 > 0:00:06Meet Year Seven.
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 > 0:00:14You're not here to having a laugh and a good time,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- you're here to learn. - With so many changes...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19..new friends...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21- Boom!- Miss, have you got a cloth?
0:00:21 > 0:00:23..and new teachers...
0:00:23 > 0:00:25You are a Greenwood boy.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27It's an exciting world to discover.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Wow!
0:00:29 > 0:00:33It 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 seven, 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 > 0:00:48..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 school here,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58but now I'm one of the teachers.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Last question, cos you're going to run out of time.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Welcome to Our School.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I need a wee.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Moving into year seven is a bit like moving house.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19There's a lot of different emotions and plenty of upheaval.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22But it's also exciting to tackle something new.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26This time, we're getting to know three year sevens
0:01:26 > 0:01:28who are turning massive corners in their lives.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Meet new girl Sam...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I've got nothing in there.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38..and identical twins, Josh and Dan.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm going to make a noise this time.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Their stories may seem very different at first,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49but they're a lot more connected than you'd think.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Put your finger on that hole there, put your thumb on that hole there...
0:01:58 > 0:02:01It's break and, not for the first time, Sam is trying out
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- something new.- ..there on that hole, and then blow it.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06SHE SQUEAKS
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Sam moved into the area a few months ago. Most of our Year Seven
0:02:11 > 0:02:14pupils know each other from primary school,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16but she didn't know anyone.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17I can't do it!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20When I had my first day here, I felt quite nervous,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22cos I didn't know anyone.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Everyone was a stranger to me.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26It was a new area, a new environment, basically.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Blow harder!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Yay!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33But this isn't the first time Sam has moved house.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38My dad's part of the army, so you can move around a lot.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I've lived in Belfast,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43London, Germany,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Peterborough,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Cyprus and here.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49See ya.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Sam's mum and dad have recently split up, so mother and
0:02:52 > 0:02:55daughters have temporarily had to move in with the grandparents.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Hi, Samantha!- Hi, Samantha!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02At the moment, I'm living with my mum...
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Did you have a good day?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05..my sister, Joanna...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Neh-neh-neh-neh-neh!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10..my other sister, Stephanie,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12my nan...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and my grandad, and there's me...
0:03:15 > 0:03:16THEY SHOUT
0:03:16 > 0:03:18..all in this squished house.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21THEY SHOUT
0:03:23 > 0:03:26At the moment, there just aren't enough beds to go round.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Samantha, where are you sleeping tonight?- With...Mummy!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Joanna's got the bed, Stephanie's got the floor,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35me and my mum in the double bed, and my nan's on the sofa,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37and my grandad's on the floor.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Can you keep your legs to yourself
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- and not in the middle of my back, please?- I'll try.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46When the crowd at home gets too much,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Sam comes to after-school club, The Sanctuary.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54What kind of house would you live in, if you could live in any house?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56A three bedroom house.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58A three bedroom? Why?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Cos then I get my own room, my sisters have to share,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and then my mum can have her own room.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08All my life it's been feeling like you're living in a box,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10because you have to pack up, unpack,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13pack up, pack up, unpack, and pack up,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and unpack again.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's a year of big dreams for Sam.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Her mum's on a waiting list to move into a new house,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23but that could take ages.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I would like, this year, to actually find a house this time.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29It will feel really good
0:04:29 > 0:04:33because, like, you know you're not going to do any more moving.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35You're staying here. And that's it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Will Sam be able to make this town and this school her home?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52The twins are...well, you can see, they're pretty identical, right?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58If you're wondering which one is which, then...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00let's just say,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02that's Daniel, I'm Josh.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Getting ready for school tends to be...
0:05:07 > 0:05:08HE FARTS
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Dan, was that you?!
0:05:10 > 0:05:11THEY GIGGLE
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Was that you, Daniel? Having a poop?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16No.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Aw, it stinks!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20That is disgusting!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's very easy to get the twins mixed up.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Even my mum gets confused by it, cos like, sometimes,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29she don't care which one goes upstairs to help her with
0:05:29 > 0:05:31something, she just shouts a random name.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37At school, teaching assistant Laura works with the boys
0:05:37 > 0:05:40all the time, and she still gets it wrong.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43What we're going to do is...Dan. Right, guys,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46you're going to have to help me out. I can still, at this point,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm going for, you're Daniel, you're Josh.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I'm still getting to grips with who's who, and some days,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55they wind me up terribly about which boy's which.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm Daniel, he's Josh.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- No, no.- Stop it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Was I right the first time?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Yeah.- Oh, you terrors!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09So, how am I going to tell these two apart?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Josh has got a slightly more rounder face than me.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Thanks for your input there, Josh.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20So, this one's Dan, and this one's Josh. Any other differences?
0:06:20 > 0:06:25We've got these different bags, the same bag, but a different colour.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Does that help you, Laura?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I still can't tell 'em apart.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- What?- Please.- No.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Just go...
0:06:34 > 0:06:38But there's a flip-side to the twins. They're dealing with
0:06:38 > 0:06:40bigger issues than people getting them mixed up.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46We have autism. We've got this thing called "ass-burger".
0:06:46 > 0:06:48No, it's...
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- BOTH:- Asperger's.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Asperger's, and it's basically,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55when we get mad, or anxiety.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Stop blaming me!
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Autism affects people in different ways but, for the twins,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03it's all about their emotions.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Sometimes we can't control our anger.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08And then it gets out of hand.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10I'll get that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15When their emotions flare up, it can lead to some very bad behaviour.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- What's the problem today?- Nothing.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Why don't you want to do the lesson? - I don't know.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23We can't control it. It's like, you don't want to do it,
0:07:23 > 0:07:27but then you just...you, like, go for it, and you can't, like, stop.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31And it can be just normal, everyday things that set them off.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Like this...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Your homework was to get that done for this lesson.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38In history, Josh has forgotten to do his homework,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and he's told off for it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42You need to do the homework, simple as.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Josh gets himself really upset and, at the end of the lesson,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47he storms out.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Can I have a little word? Can you come with me?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53This is where Laura comes in. It's her job to support the twins
0:07:53 > 0:07:55and try to calm them down.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58How are you feeling now? Are you OK?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02When you're in trouble, or, like, upset, she'll help you,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05and then she'll help you get back to lesson.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07So, are you all right now to go to your lesson?
0:08:07 > 0:08:12One day, one might be fine. The other day, the other might be fine.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It just depends on the day - and the weather.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19The boys are hard work, but Laura really cares about them.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Josh and Dan are absolutely amazing young men.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Is it Miss, or Mrs?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I'm definitely a Miss. Do I seem old enough to be a Mrs?!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30We have lots of laughs.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34We've had tears, but we have a lot more laughs.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Success! I managed to get one more in!
0:08:36 > 0:08:39This year, with Laura's help, perhaps the twins will take
0:08:39 > 0:08:41more control of their emotions.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50So, I have some forms I need to give you.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54These need to go into one of the pockets of your folder.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57In Tutor Time, the class has to write down a list
0:08:57 > 0:08:58of everywhere they've lived.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's a big task for Sam.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Where I was born, all the way down to how old I am now.- Yep.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07How many lines is there?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think she may need a bigger piece of paper.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10I'm going to only go up to 11.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Who are the people next to us?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Sam's getting on well with classmate Ameera.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I've got this friend called Ameera.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24If you're new in town, making a friend can mean everything.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Once you've made a friend, unless they don't move,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29you're not going to move,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33you can stay with them through the school year.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Is that what we're doing?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Ameera's helping Sam get to grips with the Birmingham accent.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40To me, Birmingham's weird.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44You've got people speaking like, weird accents.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Nort-ee.- Nort-ee.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Birmingham people always go, "wart-ah."
0:09:49 > 0:09:51No, say like, all the stuff that they say!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53They go, "baaath."
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Nort-ee.- Nort-ee.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58They call people "bab."
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Bab!- I dare you to go home tonight and say "nort-ee"!- Nort-ee!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05That's all good, but Sam still hasn't heard anything
0:10:05 > 0:10:07about a new house.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Little girl! Stop crying!
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Sometimes, all the upheaval of her home life can be upsetting.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Can you stop crying?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It's not good to feel that you don't have a home of your own.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Sam's due a bit of good luck. Let's hope she gets some soon.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm going to give you some paper.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33You need to write everything you know about reggae.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37It's music, and Sam is sitting next to Josh.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Is our compu... Is ours on?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Now, what's he rummaging for?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Josh has brought in one of those little electronic fart machines.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00WET FARTING
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Diarrhoea? That's one way of trying to make new friends.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07HIGH-PITCHED FART
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'm not sure if that's going to impress Sam, Josh.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12PROLONGED FART SAM GIGGLES
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Oh, actually, she seems to find it quite funny.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Sam has made quite an impression on Josh.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Well, she's in all my classes, she's very nice...
0:11:24 > 0:11:25and...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27technically, that's all I can say.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Josh playing it pretty cool there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Let's see how that pans out.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45It is considered one of his darkest and most powerful tragedies.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48This afternoon, Josh has English.
0:11:48 > 0:11:5060 seconds to discuss it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52If you know, tell the people on your table.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Don't tell me, tell them.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57LONG FART
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Oh, here we go again.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05He's still messing about with that fart machine.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Three, two, one.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11WET FART
0:12:11 > 0:12:14The rest of the class think that it's something you ate, Josh.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- LONG FART - In future, there will be.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oops, the game's up.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I'm asking you politely.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Josh, don't do it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's not a good idea.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28HIGH-PITCHED FART Oh, dear.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Could you just stand outside, please?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Or will I need to send a red card downstairs?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I don't want a red card, I'm not doing it any more.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- I know you don't want a red card... - I'm not doing it any more.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Final chance, then.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40So.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Thank you. Stop talking.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Josh has had enough and storms out of class.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47DOOR SLAMS
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Thank you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Josh's emotions can get him into trouble like this.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Laura's heard about him leaving the class and isn't happy.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59It's not nice for the teacher to hear, like, those noises,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01is it, the rudey noises?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07It's fun for at home or at break time or of a lunch time...
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Through her classroom window, Sam spots what's going on.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15If you give it to me now, it won't happen in your last lesson,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17cos you would hate for the same thing to happen in your last lesson.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Right, no, no, no, no, no.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Right, Josh, we can't have you picking and choosing
0:13:24 > 0:13:26what lessons you go to, sweetheart.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Well, you won't make another incident.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I will help you all day long.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I will always, always help you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41But when you're not helping yourself, Josh,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43that's not on, is it?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Do you want me to have the little gadget that makes the funny noises?
0:13:48 > 0:13:49It's up to you, mate.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57You want me to take care of it. Good call.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Well done, Josh. Maybe this could be a real breakthrough for him.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Laura's keen to help the twins overcome their difficulties
0:14:13 > 0:14:16and has scheduled a weekly Social Skills class with them.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oi, we're sitting here. We're sitting here.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22These sessions let the twins practice different day-to-day
0:14:22 > 0:14:27situations to help them keep their cool, inside and outside of school.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Today, I was playing a board game.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Laura just wanted to help us with our social skills,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36and we was playing What Would You Do?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Right, what colour would you like, boys?- Red.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40You want red.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44'Sometimes, people do get upset by their actions,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48'but we're here to help them deal with that and help them'
0:14:48 > 0:14:52learn social situations and how to overcome those problems.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Let the games begin.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Five. Where am I? One, two, three, four, five.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01"You forget your lunch."
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Well, what do you think?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05What would you do, if you forgot your lunch?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- I would get mad.- Would you...?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I've actually got into a situation...
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Would you come and see one of the staff, to see if we could
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- sort something for you?- That's what I did, I've asked Natalie,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- and she's gave me a sandwich and a drink.- See, there you go,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20so we can normally sort it for you in something like that.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The board game helps the twins to figure out how to react
0:15:23 > 0:15:27to other people, to make the right decisions, and not get carried away.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Yeah, I'm going to make a noise this time.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31TAPS THE DICE
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Six. Three, four, five, six.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37"You see your teacher in the street."
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Right, if you were to see them...?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I would wave, I would wave to her and say hello.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Perfect, there you go.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45If you see me in the street, I would expect you to wave and say,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47"Hi, miss, you all right?" You know.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49It's hoped that these lessons will help the twins take more
0:15:49 > 0:15:52control of their behaviour.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Boys, these answers that you're giving are really,
0:15:54 > 0:15:55really good answers.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Cos I'm in a good mood.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Fantastic, yeah, I like good mood boys.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06OK, it's time to put those new social skills to good use.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Josh has decided to ask Sam out on a date.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I felt nervous and embarrassed,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14because...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16there was loads of other people around.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Oh, he's coming. - GIRLS GIGGLE
0:16:19 > 0:16:22But I did get my confidence and asked.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Good luck, Josh.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Hi.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Any chance you want to go out?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Where?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29To Star City and crazy golf.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31When?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I don't know, but my mum will arrange it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Yes, please.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Success! Well done, Josh.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Josh asked me out on a date...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's official - Josh and Sam are going out.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Oh, my God, he's got a girlfriend.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54So how does that feel, Josh? Excited about what comes next?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'd like the future to be...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59SINGS WEDDING SONG
0:17:02 > 0:17:03I'd like the future to be...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I'll probably have a few arguments one time.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11I'll probably get married, if it's possible to stay with her that long.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16And that's pretty much it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Yeah, maybe don't mention all that to Sam just yet.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's the day of Josh and Sam's date.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Time to get ready.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30So, Josh, what are you going to wear?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Dan's trying to be helpful... sort of.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Do you reckon any of them you'll be able to kiss Samantha in?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Oh, shut up.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41All it is, is a date.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I've made my choice, I think I'm going to go with this one.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Good luck. I hope you kiss Samantha.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Shut up.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Meanwhile, back in the crowded house, Sam is having to deal
0:17:53 > 0:17:54with annoying little sisters.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Samantha, I think you look pretty nice and pretty ugly.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Why ugly?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Cos...you do.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03The first dates checklist.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Number one - make sure you smell good.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It don't really make me feel like Superman,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10but I'd love to have powers.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Two - get your hair sorted.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I don't like that bit.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Oh, I think I'm looking good.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Three - get on with it!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Thank you, Joanna.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And don't forget the flowers.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Bye, Josh. Have a lovely date!
0:18:28 > 0:18:29See you later.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36And now, the waiting game.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I hope she doesn't stand you up, Josh.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Oh, here she is.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43- Hello.- Thank you.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Thank you.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49First stop...
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Can I have one round of golf, please?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Flipping heck!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I was absolutely rubbish at the mini golf.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Where is it?- It's went...!
0:19:01 > 0:19:06When I whacked it, it landed on the stairs.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Excuse me? Can I have my ball?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I had to get someone to throw it back up.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Try and put it over. Yeah.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Four.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- How much?- Five.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I thought Samantha was pretty good at it, but I won.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Oh, that was so much fun.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28That's plenty of excitement for now. Time for lunch.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Here's your chicken and chips.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33And a chance to get to know each other a bit better.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Where was you living before?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Basically, I've lived in Belfast... - Yeah?- Germany.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40I lived in Peterborough.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Northern Ireland...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- I can't remember where else.- Oh.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49So have you moved or not?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You're a lucky one then, aren't you?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55And what better way to let lunch go down...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- It looks awesome.- Awesome.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Than hopping around on this thing?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Right then, I'm ready.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04This is awesome!
0:20:05 > 0:20:06I love this!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I like floating, it's just floating in the air.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11And people just have to look up.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18That was amazing.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- This is the best date ever, even though it's our first.- Yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Time to go home.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27And one last goodbye.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Have you enjoyed it? - Yeah, you?- Yeah.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Would you like to do this again?- Yes.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Bye.- Bye.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Love you.- Love you, too.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I'm exhausted - great date, you two.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Things seem to be looking up for Josh, but for his twin,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47it's a different story.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Right, morning, Year 7. - ALL: Morning, Miss.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So we're going to do a little project about getting to know you,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55getting to know me, getting to know each other.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Dan has art, and the class are having their photos taken for
0:20:59 > 0:21:01a project called This Is Me.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Oh, that's lovely.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08To help the class learn about themselves, they have to draw
0:21:08 > 0:21:12a self-portrait, but Dan is struggling.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Come on, I want you to try this task, Daniel.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Why?!- Ah, ah, ah. Sh, sh.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19OK, that's it, let's calm it down.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23He's finding it really hard to put his personality on paper.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27He didn't want to reflect on himself at all.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Sometimes he does find this difficult, as does Josh, also.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, stop, stop.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Give me that. Give me that. What's the matter?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42It's all got too much and Dan's taken out of class for a time-out.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46He was very upset, didn't really want to speak to anyone.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48So what would you prefer to do?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Would you prefer to do artwork,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54or play a game that's a board game for literacy?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57But the brothers are in this together.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Josh is out of lessons, too, and can see that Dan's upset.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01All right there?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03He tries to calm him down.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Scrabble, cos you've got selection of games...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Josh, do you want to play against Josh, Scrabble?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11With help from his brother and Laura, Dan settles down.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Oh, there you go, Dan's going to go first.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Wonderful.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Daniel v Josh, the battle of the twins.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21How many was it, sorry, sweetheart, did you add it?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22- Four.- Four, yeah.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25By the end of the game, he's a much happier boy.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Proper teamwork. Well done, lads.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, then, guys. In you go, then.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Year 7 have Hair and Beauty.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Josh is one of only two boys to have signed up.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Right, you're going to be doing nail painting and nail art. OK?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55It feels like loads of girls are saying, "Why are you in here?"
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But I said, "Boys can do this, too, as well, you know."
0:22:58 > 0:23:02One side is to shape the nails, which is the lighter side.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I felt proud of him, because not many boys do it,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and there's a lot of teasing going around.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09You can do me first, because I'm no good at it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13But Josh may have had a special reason for putting his name down.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It was nice that Samantha was there.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17You're shaking, you can tell.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Careful there, Josh.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24That one's good, I like purple the best.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Flipping heck. You've got really long nails.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29And now, Josh's first manicure.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Can you lift that up a little bit? Thank you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Sorry about your skin, Josh.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39For Sam,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42dealing with Josh's emotions has been a bit of a learning curve.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well, it's made me understand a bit more about autism.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Sometimes I try to calm him down.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Make sure you get every bit of the nail.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52He don't get angry around me, does he?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Is that all right?- Yep, cool.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56And Samantha did this.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Josh did this.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00We haven't got nail art on the list, actually.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Manicure, we've got on the list.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03I think you was a bit good.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I was rubbish. I was rubbish.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08- Was I good?- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Good.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21And breaking news - Sam's heard something very exciting.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22I've got a house.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28That's it - Sam's mum has finally found a new house for the family.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32My reaction was, I just like, screamed. I was like, "Aaahhh!"
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And this is their first visit.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Are we ready?- GIRLS: Yes.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Who's excited?- GIRLS: Me!
0:24:42 > 0:24:46It looks great. Lots more space than with Nana and Grandad.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50What do you think of the front room? Is it nice and big?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53This is going to be our dining room where we're going to have
0:24:53 > 0:24:55our dinner. It's a bit...
0:24:55 > 0:24:57This is the kitchen.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Samantha? Who wants their own bed?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Meeeee!
0:25:02 > 0:25:03There we go.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05This is going to be Sam's room.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Samantha's room!
0:25:08 > 0:25:10How big is this room?!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I'm putting my bed here.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I'm really, really excited, cos I've got my own room
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and no smelly sisters.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Is this bigger than your last room? - A lot.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Are you happy with it?- Yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I'm going to see if I can get a sign, like, saying,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28"Keep Out, Samantha's Room".
0:25:28 > 0:25:31You can have a cupboard here and you can have some toys,
0:25:31 > 0:25:32all your stuff there.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Finally, Sam has a home.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Go on, then.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38It's got a big garden.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It's big, isn't it? What do you think?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I won't have to move again, like, I'm staying there.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Are you just... Samantha!
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Wow, really chuffed for you, Sam.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Group hug! And Stephanie!
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yay!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Whoa!
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Sam is finally settled in and Josh has been a big part of that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11We're going to The Sanctuary.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Today, she's saying thank-you by taking the twins to her
0:26:14 > 0:26:15youth club for the first time.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17What do I have to do?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19How do you spell your surname?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23A few months ago, this kind of social situation could have
0:26:23 > 0:26:26easily upset the boys, but they've come a long way.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Oh, I can write it, I can write it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Yeah, and then put your brother.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Diagon Alley.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34What?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Why did I say that? Cos I watched Harry Potter the other day.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Connect 4!
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Josh won, like, six times.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46One, two, three, four.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47I give in!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49But I didn't even know I was a master at it,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51honestly, I just beat them all.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53The twins are enjoying themselves.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56They both seem far more relaxed these days.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I've noticed lots of changes in the twins recently.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I burst with pride when I think about where they started
0:27:05 > 0:27:07and where they are now.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10When you move up to secondary school, you never know who
0:27:10 > 0:27:14you might meet, and how your new friends can help change your life.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And next time on Our School...
0:27:17 > 0:27:22emotions run high, as we prepare for the Year 7 talent show.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24SHE SINGS
0:27:24 > 0:27:27While some have stars in their eyes...
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Oh, my God, I'm really nervous.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30..others have butterflies in their stomachs.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Sing.- I can't.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Why?- I can't.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Stop messing with your hair.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I just want to make sure it's sticking up.
