0:00:02 > 0:00:05BELL RINGS
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Meet Year 7.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- Awesome!- Pt-choo!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12It's the most important year of school so far.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14You're not here to have a laugh and a good time.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY With so many changes...
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- ..new friends... - Ooh!- Have you got a cloth?
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- ..and new teachers... - You ARE a Greenwood boy!
0:00:25 > 0:00:27..it's an exciting world to discover.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Wow! - HE WHISTLES
0:00:29 > 0:00:33It can be fun, but sometimes it can be tough.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35There are different challenges for everybody.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We're in Year 7. 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. HE LAUGHS
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I used to go to school here, but now I'm one of the teachers.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Last question, cos you're going to run out of time.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Welcome to Our School.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I need a wee.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18When you move into the craziness of secondary school...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20BLOWS A RASPBERRY, LAUGHTER
0:01:20 > 0:01:22..everybody needs a bit of looking after,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- whether it's from the teachers... - OK, what's the matter? Can I help?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29..or your friends.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Miss, I made him happy. He's fine. - Thank you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37This time, we're going to get to know two more of Year 7.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Meet Donnel, or Don.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42# My name's Donnel!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44# What you gonna do when they come for you? #
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And his classmate Lucy.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Well, that just got deep unexpectedly.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55These two are like chalk and cheese, until you get to know them, anyway.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02First up, it's time to meet the joker of Year 7.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Knock, knock. Who's there?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I don't want to find out who's there.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Don's not one of our quieter pupils.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14We're going to tie in Shakespeare's language to hip-hop and rap, OK?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Yeah! Yeah!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- HE RAPS:- # To be or not to be! Buh-buh-buh, chh, chh
0:02:18 > 0:02:20# That is my que-stio-stio-stio-stion. #
0:02:20 > 0:02:24And he has a pretty unique attitude to lessons.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Pilgrim.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Pilgrimage.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Siri, what is "pilgrim"?
0:02:30 > 0:02:36A pilgrim is a traveller, literally one that's come from afar,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38and he's on a journey to the holy place.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41No-one has ever used Siri in my lesson before.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Well done for using your brain there.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Don is one of the more popular boys in school.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49At school, I can't say I'm, like, popular-popular.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Everyone bows down to me.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53People know not to try and be cheeky.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58And he's made a lot of new friends since the start of Year 7.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Best friends are Kya, Ethan, Jayden, Thomas.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Always there for you, make you have a laugh.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Just have a good time.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Break it up, ladies!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16But his behaviour has been landing him in hot water.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Donnel!- Yeah?- Stop talking now.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21My first day of secondary school,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I got in trouble cos I was speaking to my mates.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- If you continue doing that... - What?!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I've told you numerous times to stop.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Don can be a very cheeky student,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33and when he wants to be cheeky,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36he can be just about the cheekiest student I've ever taught.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Don's become a bit of an expert here at our school
0:03:40 > 0:03:41on getting into trouble.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'll let him explain.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46At school, there's a system. You get a verbal warning.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- That's your first warning, Donnel. - What?!
0:03:48 > 0:03:49A second verbal warning.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Second warning for you, Donnel.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52A yellow card.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54The next time you interrupt me, it will be a yellow card for you.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Amber card. - HE BURPS
0:03:56 > 0:03:57And then a red card.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I've had enough of your comments.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00You can go stand outside.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Don's got Music today.- Go!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08And he's getting a bit carried away.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10G... Oh, look at this.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Wa-chu, wa-chu, wa-chu, wa-chu, wa-chu-chu-chu!
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Miss, I don't know what to do. - I've told you, it's on the board.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Yeah, Miss, but I'm really confused.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Second page. You write down what you think syncopation is.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I'm so weird.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Donnel, you're getting a little bit restless now.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You need to calm it down.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Sometimes they just tell you off for no reason. They're too strict.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35"That's an hour detention for licking your lips."
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Don't let you do things, and just, like, annoying sometimes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Donnel! This isn't good enough.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44This is your second verbal warning now.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What? I was putting it away. I was folding it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I would love to see Don's behaviour improve,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52because I think that he's not reaching his full potential.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54The reason that he's not reaching his full potential
0:04:54 > 0:04:57is because he's distracted so easily.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59The history, then. It develops...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Donnel, stand outside, please.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Stand up...- Sort yourself out.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Here's someone who's never had a verbal warning in her life.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Meet Lucy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Who's your favourite giant?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- You.- Yass!
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Lucy likes to be known as the BFG of Year 7.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24As you can see, I'm very tall, and I'm a very friendly person.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Love you!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31I like to help people, which indicates big, friendly giants.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Lucy!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Save me from...
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Again, what makes you think that I'll protect you?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40You're big and you're friendly.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Sometimes because of my height, and sometimes the way I speak,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47it can give off like I'm an older person.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I just got to an age where I looked a lot older than I usually was,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53so he just stopped giving me stickers at the dentist.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Lucy has a big heart, and back in primary school,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58she was nicknamed as "Mum of Year 6".
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I feel like I'm quite a motherly kind of person.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I mean, I would comfort you if you're upset.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Are you OK?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08If you are sad and if you are stuck, I will try to help you.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Why's there steam coming from there? I don't like it.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Probably because it's hot.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17She looks after everyone, cos everyone goes, "Lucy, help me!"
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Well, I do that, anyway.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21But despite looking after so many people,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Lucy has her own problems, too.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28A lot of people think that I am quite confident overall,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31but I have a shy and insecure kind of side,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34which is totally normal for me.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41You've met Donnel and you've met Lucy,
0:06:41 > 0:06:42but what you may not expect
0:06:42 > 0:06:45is that they share a very unlikely friendship.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50In your mind, what makes it seem like I care?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Our friendship is based
0:06:52 > 0:06:54on me having answers and him copying them.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Come on, man! Help me!
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Teacher better not watch this.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Don, you want that to help you,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04so you can understand what was there.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Anyone else? - Miss, can I have one, please?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Lucy and Don go way back.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11That's weak. Put your hand up.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13In primary school, me and Don
0:07:13 > 0:07:16were sat together at the carpet at the back, in Maths,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and we called ourselves "Math buddies".
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Today, Lucy and Don have French.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24TEACHER SPEAKS FRENCH
0:07:25 > 0:07:27There are colours on your table.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30You can also use the colours up front here, OK?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Miss, I've finished.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- You're basically right. - What's brown? What's brown?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Marron.- Marron, yeah?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41You basically put the name of it and then the colour together.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Sometimes he does ask for help, and I do.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'll help him sometimes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48But all this can be frustrating for Lucy.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Is that right, though?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Yeah. Now look at the only ones that say "trousers" or "pants".
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Trousers or pants. Trousers or pants.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Well done. You succeeded at life.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Most times when he asks me,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I'm like, "I'm not going to be with you forever,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05"so I can't help you 24/7 with your work.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07"You need to figure it out for yourself
0:08:07 > 0:08:09"and put effort into your work to actually get it."
0:08:09 > 0:08:11And even with all Lucy's help,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Don can still end up pushing things too far.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17TEACHER SPEAKS FRENCH
0:08:19 > 0:08:20HE LAUGHS
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Shh! Don't call out, please, OK?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- So, I know... - SHE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:08:25 > 0:08:27DON LAUGHS
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I'm really quite disappointed in your behaviour today.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Can you stop, please?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Ah, I think he might be overacting a bit here.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I'm going to be here all lunch hour,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43so I don't mind if it takes us all lunch hour to finish this.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49So, as everyone else heads out, Don is left behind in detention.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Wow! I've got a lot of words to say about this.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Detention is a horrible little place.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Whoever's talking will get a detention.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Yeah, shut up!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Hey! That counts!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12SHE LAUGHS
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Detentions.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Detentions. I get a lot of them.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I don't want any keyboards on.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Donnel, that is your instant detention.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I've had, like, a lot of detention.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Sometimes for, like, speaking in class.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'm aware that it's lunchtime, but you have not earned the right to go.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33You are in detention. Sit down.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34If you're being naughty,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37you have to stay behind after school.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38You just sit there.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Detention is the most boring thing I've ever done,
0:09:45 > 0:09:50cos you just sit in the chair, like, "I don't know what I'm doing."
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You'll do the detention till four o'clock.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56They try and make you jealous.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59They eat chocolate bars in front of you.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I've got a cake here for Miss.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Naughty!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I do think, "Oh, I shouldn't have done this.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08"I could've been doing better things than sitting here."
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It goes through your mind that you wish, like, you'd never done it,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16like you want to go back and then...not do that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I do actually regret the things that I've actually done.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29It's Tuesday, Period Two,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31which for Lucy means Art with Miss Crowther.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Keeping it for Halloween! - All through this year,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40the class are working on a project called This Is Me,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44where they try to put their personalities down on paper.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48This Is Me project is an art project about me.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's not just about you, Wanesa.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Quack, quack! Quack!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's a chance for everyone to get to know each other better.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00The class have come up with a presentation that tells everyone
0:11:00 > 0:11:04about all the things that are most important to them.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09We could do a video or some pictures or a booklet,
0:11:09 > 0:11:13whatever you wanted, to repespent... reperesent yourself.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- Represent, not "reperesent"! - Yourself! Yourself!
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Lucy has been working at home to get a head start.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Immediately thought, "I want to make a book."
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I wanted to make it and put my personality into the book.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Lucy, just hold yours up.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Stand up and hold yours up, cos it looks really interesting.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- LAUGHTER - No, no, it really does.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35You've done something totally different.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Explain to the class what you've done.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Well, I had spare pieces of card at home,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44so I thought that I could make a booklet out of it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I just put all my interests, like, things that I like,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51and just put, like, all my personality in one book.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54That folder that you did is absolutely stunning.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Donnel, I'll be with you in two secs. Hold on.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Right, it's absolutely stunning.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Are you feeling brave enough to show the class
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and talk about it next lesson?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Mmm...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Lucy's feeling very nervous
0:12:08 > 0:12:11about presenting something so personal to the class.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14When teachers come to me and say, "Can I put your work up here?",
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I feel fine with it when it's on a board, or when it's something else.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22But I don't like talking out loud sometimes.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Hopefully, Lucy will find the confidence to make this work.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26I think that is a good way
0:12:26 > 0:12:30to, like, overcome that hurdle of me being a shy person.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Don and Lucy have English with Mr Elliott.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45They're doing Macbeth, and seem to be practising for a stage fight.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51All right, Year 7s, you have five seconds to be quiet. Thank you.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Five, four, three, two, one.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58We are done talking now, so Macbeth, Banquo.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01The class have to act out a scene from the play,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and Don decides he wants in.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Ross will be coming into this next scene.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07He just doesn't quite know who's who.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Who's Ross?- We also have Angus. Donnel, would you like a line?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- I want to be the First Witch. - We are way past that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18We need somebody to act as Angus.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- If nobody says they want to, I will do it.- I'll be Ross.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- He's a character that... - I want to be Ross.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24I think he really wants to be Ross.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- There's a character that comes in whose name is Angus.- I'll be Ross.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31But Don is soon up to his old tricks.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Stop touching me!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Imagine doing that, getting your hair and tying it to hers!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Ow, it's... Donnel!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That'll be sick!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Ohhh!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Don is really acting up today,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47and I don't think it's going to end well.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50You have an amber for speaking again.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- You have a detention after school for ten minutes.- Ow!
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Donnel! Close.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57There will be people who will stay after class today
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- for their continuous talking. - Sir, have I still got an amber card?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Usually when a teacher is talking, you wait your turn to talk.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Oh, my God! I asked one question. - You don't interrupt that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Macbeth is amazed the Witches' predictions have come true.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It looks like he's heading for some serious trouble.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14When Mr Elliott tells me off,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17sometimes I think he's doing it cos it's fair.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19But sometimes I think almost everybody would've done
0:14:19 > 0:14:22what I would've done for that thing.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Like, people would've reacted the same way that I would have.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28You'll be back after school, cos you're not doing your work.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Once again, as the lesson ends, Don is held back after class.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- So, what's going on?- Nothing.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Why are we having problems?- Cos.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Because why?- You always start on me.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Why do you think I do that, Donnel? - For no reason.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Donnel, you're out of your seat,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50you're speaking to people, you're turned around.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52The fact that you're talking all the time can't happen.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It just can't happen.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58So, Donnel, easy fix, easy solution,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02is when I ask you to stop talking, just stop talking.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Really hope we can have a better lesson tomorrow, all right?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Getting in trouble like this
0:15:09 > 0:15:11means the school sends a text message home,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and that's not good news.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19But despite all the backchatting at school,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21when he's with his family, Don is different.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26His mum and dad divorced when he was very young.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30I live with my mum, my stepdad and my two little brothers.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Being a big brother,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35it's like you've got, like, a lot of responsibility onto you,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38to look after them and keep them safe.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40He's particularly close to his mum.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45It was just the two of them for nine years before she met his stepdad.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47But, obviously, I care about all my family,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50but my mum's, like, the one that's brought me up.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So, obviously, I ain't got a dad to go to,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56so my mum's, like, the only one I can actually go to, so...
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yeah, I love him!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01He can be like a little annoying brother sometimes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Slash son!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04But Don doesn't like it
0:16:04 > 0:16:06when his family find out he's been in trouble.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08When my mum gets a text when I get a detention,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12it's, like, I'll probably be grounded for a couple of days,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and not be able to go on my Xbox or something.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16So, despite all his cheekiness,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Don doesn't really want a reputation for being naughty.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24When I get in trouble, I go through my head, like,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I wish, like, I'd never done it, or something,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I could take it back, what I done.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36'Ahead of their presentations, the art class have a chance
0:16:36 > 0:16:39'to put the finishing touches to their This Is Me project.'
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Come in if you're coming to do some wonderful work with me. Hello.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47'Unfortunately, Don hasn't actually started his yet.'
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Oh, look!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52He hasn't done his homework which I set how many weeks ago, Donnel?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53How many weeks ago?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56'The class have a chance to find pictures online
0:16:56 > 0:16:58'that will help them with their talk.'
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Are you using pictures off your phone, both of yous?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02How do you work it?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03'Don is up and running.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06'His presentation is all about his family.'
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Oh, sir, look at my little brother. - Nice. So, who are these?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- My mum and my brother. - With their tongues out.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Does presenting this stuff scare anybody?- Me.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Who...? Only you?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Yes, because...- Why?- ..I don't like to speak in front of people.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22- So, you know this stuff?- Yeah?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Why were you happy to share this with me?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I'm happy to share with people and people have a look at it themselves,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31but when I have to, like, read out loud
0:17:31 > 0:17:35and, like, explain to a whole class, my nerves just get the better of me.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I understand what you're saying,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40but this is something that you know everything about.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41How much does this mean to you?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Not this book, but, I mean, like, art and doodling and drawing?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- A lot.- A lot.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49That's something you should share with people,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52that passion and that enthusiasm for a subject.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Trevor and Miss Crowther really, like, persuaded me and helped me,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58like, cos they say that I could explain it perfectly.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I just didn't feel comfortable with saying it in front of other people.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Are you done? Log off. - Yes, I'm done. Finally.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11It's English.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Will Don be trying harder for Mr Elliott this time around?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Act I, Scene 4.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Malcolm is next in line and Macbeth sees the threat in Malcolm.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Can you tell me the answers, please? Otherwise the ruler gets it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29So, listening! To remind you of what has been happening.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Act I, Scene 3... - Sir, I read it?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Shh! No talking!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38HE LAUGHS
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Oooh!
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Sir, I made penguin feet.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Donnel...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I'm giving you one last chance to stop talking,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49because I continue to hear your voice.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53He could be in some serious trouble here if he doesn't calm it down.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Pe-yah!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Don!- Pe-yah! Aw-ah-ah-ah!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Are you doing your work or not?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02But luckily, Lucy steps in to sort him out.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Do you understand what you're doing, though?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Yeah.- What are we doing, then? - No, I actually don't know!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09You have to look at that,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11and then we have to match it to what we think is on the board.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13This tells us what's happening,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15but we need to find the proof in the play.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18When it comes to Don, I do feel like an extra teacher,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21just helping him and, like, pushing him sometimes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23And with Lucy's help, Don ends up back on track.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26What does it say up there that proves the point?
0:19:26 > 0:19:3017. He's too full of the milk of human kindness.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Lucy can be a great help in class with Don,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35because she's a very respectful and polite student,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39and I feel like those qualities are passed along to Don
0:19:39 > 0:19:42when they are working together, especially in English class.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46So, therefore, you just got the perfect quote for that event.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Nice one, Don! Thanks, Lucy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's the day of the This Is Me presentation,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and Lucy has been preparing like crazy.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Miss, I hope you're happy with it,
0:19:58 > 0:20:03cos I stayed up until one in the morning trying to finish it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Don is first up.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Donnel, you give me your card thing. - Oh! Oh, yeah, yeah.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- This is really hard. - DON SIGHS
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Donnel is going first up,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15and it's not easy being the first one.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's not easy being anyone when you have to talk to a group
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and you're not used to it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Right, off you go.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Ooh, my family. You've got me, my brothers, and that's my mum.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26How many sisters and brothers have you got?
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Two brothers, one stepbrother and...one mum.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32LAUGHTER
0:20:32 > 0:20:36He obviously has a strong connection with his family.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40You can tell, because nearly all of his pictures were family-based.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42My auntie does that facial stuff.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44She puts wax on her face and carves it out and that.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Can we all have a round of applause? Well done, Donnel.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51I haven't had to nudge him in this project whatsoever.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52For once, he didn't ask me for help.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55The rest of the class get to have their go.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57And you see that there, that massive slide?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59That's taller than you think.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Obviously, my passions are music and animals.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05And who's next?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Going next is Lucy.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I felt really, like, nervous.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I didn't feel comfortable with going up.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Come and stand at the front. Come and sit here.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- I'm not standing.- Sit here and... - I feel better from here.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I felt like I wanted to do it from the seat I was already sitting in.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23But just this once, it's Don who's helping Lucy.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26No, Lucy, you'll feel better in the chair, trust me.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It puts less pressure on you if you sit in the chair.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Donnel insisted that I'd feel better sitting in the teacher's chair,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34which I did.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And Wanesa is on hand as her able assistant.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40You've got my favourite art, my favourite books,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43and something from my favourite movies.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45What's the bottom one, where she's standing on the shell?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Birth Of Aphrodite, which was in, like, 1420, I think.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- And as you can see, you have people...- Is she a mermaid?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54No, she's not a mermaid. She's a god.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Who's that guy on the top right? - Andrea Bocelli.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I think he's blind, which is really impressive,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03because he'd have to, like, read Braille with his fingers
0:22:03 > 0:22:05to get to know the piece of music.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Divergent is my favourite book. It's also my favourite movie.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13She's already told me what happens, and I wasn't impressed.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14The book's amazing!
0:22:14 > 0:22:17So, after all those nerves, it's a job well done.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I am pleased and chuffed that she did give me this challenge,
0:22:20 > 0:22:21and I overcame it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Can I have a round of applause for Lucy, please?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32It's Period Three, and that means Maths with Mr Kilminster.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Right! You still haven't learned my rules.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Stay in your seat and don't talk over me.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40When I'm teaching, you're constantly talking. Sit up straight.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43So, who's in the hot seat today?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Is it them?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Is it him?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I really hope it's not Don.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50You're constantly talking over me.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51It's not!
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Actually, it looks like Don is really trying to make an effort.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- 10% of 600 is 60, yeah? - Yeah, and then times that by three.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Times that by three, we get...
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Hundred and...- 30%, don't we? And you end up with what?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- 180.- Good lad. Well done.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- So, we've got 30%, yeah? - And you've got to find 5%.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Then we find 5%.
0:23:13 > 0:23:165% is half of that, so it's half of 60, which is...?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- 30.- 30. Well done, Donnel.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I got it right. I actually got it right.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22And it's not just Maths.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Don's trying harder in a lot of his classes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I think my behaviour has improved since the start of Year 7
0:23:29 > 0:23:32and I ain't as cheeky as I used to be before.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Yes, Donnel. Stand up, come up.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I am proud of Donnel that he's got his head down more,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and I can see it sometimes that he is trying.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Guess who's finished? Donnel, the one who's the boss. Get me!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49He's starting to realise that life is much easier
0:23:49 > 0:23:54and much less painful when he is well-behaved.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58But to be honest, I think Don will always have his cheeky side.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00HE SINGS
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Sometimes Year 7 can be pretty overwhelming.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Ohhh!
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Having someone to talk to can make all the difference.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Is there anything that we can do to help you?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16And there are lots of ways the school can help.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Our school's youth worker, Sean, and Miss Dockery
0:24:21 > 0:24:23have an idea they want to pitch to Lucy.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Right, we've asked you to come in
0:24:24 > 0:24:28because we've had reports back about how amazing you are,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31basically, to supporting people in your year.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So, myself and Miss Dockery have looked into something
0:24:35 > 0:24:38where we can try and have, like, wellbeing ambassadors
0:24:38 > 0:24:40within the school for each year group.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43So, a wellbeing ambassador is there for any Year 7 to talk to
0:24:43 > 0:24:47when they're feeling down or upset about something.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I do like to talk to people and help them through their problems.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54I mean, like, I was compared to a teddy bear.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57How do you feel about doing something like that?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01I think it would be something that I'd be interested in,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03just supporting people.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07We want you to go and pass your knowledge and kindness,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09really, on to other students.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11OK.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Bye!- Bye!- See you later, Lucy.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Lucy's made quite an impression on Sean and Miss Dockery.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I thought I was going to melt. I was, like, "You're amazing."
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Yeah, I'm coming. I'm friend.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Friend! Whoo-la-la!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Lucy's not even been announced as wellbeing ambassador,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and she's already helping people.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Who's bullying you?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I noticed that Sam was feeling a little bit upset,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43so I brought her into the dinner hall
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and I sat down and I had a chat with her.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Sam, you're going to get this through your life.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Loads of people have got it. But you...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- But it's not fair.- Yeah, I know.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57It's every single flipping day!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Sam...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You reacting like this means that he's won
0:26:01 > 0:26:03and he's getting what he wants.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05He's getting a reaction.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Being able to help Sam made me, like, open my eyes and feel like,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12now I know why they chose me to be the wellbeing ambassador.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18And this morning, Lucy goes public with her new role.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24We've come up with a little idea,
