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