0:01:54 > 0:01:58Welcome to Firth Park Academy in Sheffield.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Every year over 1,000 pupils walk through our gates.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07270 of them are making that big step up from primary,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11and our new Year 7, they are summat else!
0:02:12 > 0:02:13You've got Wayne.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Who gets a bit daft.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And Morgan. Not to be messed with.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Then there's Abdul.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Wrong!
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Well, what can you say about Abdul?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You're on a detention! You've lost your lunch hour.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42You are not to climb on these chairs.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44And don't get me started on the teachers.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I'm kind of regretting this now.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I teach them maths.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51That's me, Mr Jones.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I can lean like this and not fall over.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I'm pretty awesome, me.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59We've all got an amazing term ahead of us.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02There'll be laughs...
0:03:04 > 0:03:05..there'll be drama...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Sit down, on a chair, now.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09..and some very bad jokes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12How does Bob Marley like his doughnuts?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Wi' jam in!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Aaarggh! - You don't get it?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19But I reckon we're getting ahead of ourselves.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Can we rewind a bit? Let's go back to the summer holidays,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24before all this started.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Who's got the big red button? Hit it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Right. Summertime.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Bit warmer. Like it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Over at the school CBBC are putting in their cameras,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42ready to film the biggest term of school life, so far,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44when it starts in September.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48But that's enough of that.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Goal!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It's the summer holidays.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52You want to be outside playing.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55What kind of bug is that?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Oh, the bug's so happy he's going to be on TV!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03270 Year 6 pupils have just finished primary school,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06and now they're a summer holiday away from becoming Year 7.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11There are some big changes on the way
0:04:11 > 0:04:13and life won't be quite the same again.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15We used to be the oldest in primary.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16- Yeah.- Now we're the youngest!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20That's kind of frightening for me.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I'm nervous about getting along with other people
0:04:23 > 0:04:27because they might not like me, I might not like them.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31There are always some daft rumours about what happens at big school.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33My mum keeps on making me even more nervous
0:04:33 > 0:04:35because she keeps on going,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39on your birthday they're going to get eggs and flowers - and flour -
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and they're going to egg you and then chuck flour all over you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yeah, Morgan. I can guarantee
0:04:44 > 0:04:46that is not how we do things at our school.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Lots of people feel worried about big school
0:04:53 > 0:04:55but I feel confident and nothing will happen.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I like the fact that it's a bigger school,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04but there's the horrible feeling
0:05:04 > 0:05:09that you just take one wrong turn and you get absolutely lost!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11The most thing I'm excited about is
0:05:11 > 0:05:16getting lost, because if I'm lost I get to miss all my lessons.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And it won't be my fault.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm not sure if that's quite the right attitude, Fareed.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's going to take me a while to learn everyone's names.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29So for now let's get to know just a couple of our new students.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Wah! Thank you!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35First, let's meet Abdul.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43This is my new school uniform for Firth Park Academy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47So you've got the tie, you've got a jumper, the shirt, and the blazer.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I think it's pretty cool.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It's comfortable and it's representative to your school, yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I think, I think this is a good uniform.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Making the move to secondary school can mean a lot of mixed emotions.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01One side of me feels, like, really sad,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04leaving all the teachers I know, some of my friends,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07but I've decided it's, like, new beginnings.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08New friends, new school,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12so I'm sad/happy.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Abdul's got a secret weapon.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16His big sister.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18My big sister's called Iman.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19She's 12 years old,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22she's, like, the most clever human being I've ever seen.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Have you seen her brain?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's, like, really big.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30So, um, what's it like at secondary school?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It's a lot, lot bigger. It's kind of like Hogwarts.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33She's already at Firth Park.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38So that might be an advantage for me because, maybe, she can help me.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41When you come to school for the first time,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44try not to act too like you know it all.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Food for thought, Abdul.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47See you at school.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I'm mostly confident, like 75% confident.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55But not everyone's feeling so confident.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Meet Olivia.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Olivia doesn't have an older sibling to give advice about big school.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08There's my mum and my dad and my two sisters, I'm the oldest,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10and I'm, like, kind of the peacekeeper.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12So my two sisters don't have an argument.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Olivia was one of the top students at her primary school.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I just really enjoy learning.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19I'm a geek.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22So how are you feeling about Year 7?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'm nervous about going to big school
0:07:24 > 0:07:27because it's different - new people, new teachers.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Nobody really knows me, so it's like starting again,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33because you've got to reintroduce yourself to new people.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34But I'm also excited
0:07:34 > 0:07:37because I think it's going to be a lot more fun.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's the first day of term.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58The day they all officially become Year 7.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I feel nervous because, like, what if you get something wrong?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08They've got plenty of worries.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I'm nervous that I won't make many new friends.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17But a lot of anticipation, too.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22I'm just excited cos new friends, new teachers, new everything.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25It's like a new beginning.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29All over town, pencil cases are being filled
0:08:29 > 0:08:32and blazers are being worn for the first time.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Smile, then.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Ooh, my baby boy!
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Love it, mate.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Olivia's up early.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47I've been up since 5:30 because, erm, when I'm nervous or excited,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I always end up getting up really early cos I can't wait!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52And Abdul's doing his final prep.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I am going to be very nervous and very worried.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Straighten this out a bit!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Your tie needs to be kind of in the middle.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You have to look smart. Right, chest high.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Smile!- Smile.- You're done!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13But it's not just students getting ready.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Good luck.- Thank you. I feel a bit nervous.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- I'm sure it'll be fine. - See you later.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18See you later. Bye-bye.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21We have a brand-new teacher at our school today.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Mr Shore.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Today's my first day.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32It's my first teaching job, so I'm excited to see how that goes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35But there's always that bit of apprehension.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'm a little bit scared as well.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Are the kids going to like me? Are the teachers going to like me?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Am I going to get lost?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Er... I guess it's all those...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46similar things to all the Year 7s will have when they start.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Erm, we're all nervous, really, and we'll all get through it together.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54And here we are - my new school.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Very exciting.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01So the teachers are arriving - all we need now are the students.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Right, we'll see you later, OK? Have a good day.- Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Love you.- Bye.- Have fun!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11No more putting it off - it's time to go to school!
0:10:13 > 0:10:14- You've got your lunch?- Yeah.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- PE kit?- Mm-hmm.- Your books? - Yeah.- Yeah?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Aah!- You'll be fine.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Bye!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Bye!- Bye, Tom!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I said, bye, Tom!
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I said, bye! That's a key word!
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Bye!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34All's I've had is a Frostie bar, I'm very hungry,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36and I've been up since six.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Abdul's getting some last-minute tips from his sister.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42When are you allowed to use your phone?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46During, er, break and lunchtimes, but not during classes.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'm nervous, you?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Confident. Cos I know I'll get used to the school.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55What if we got lost? Didn't know where to go.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59And then we were late for our lesson because we were lost.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- We'd get in trouble.- It's OK, we'll tell them why we were lost.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Right, good luck.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Right. OK.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Hope you survive!- Huh!
0:11:13 > 0:11:14SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Welcome to Our School...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Just don't leave a mess, all right?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I was afraid of going in, so I just took a deep breath,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29just went in and it happened.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Me and Javonte's old school is like a midget compared to this school.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47You're not wrong, Abdul. Our school is massive.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50We've got over 1,000 pupils.
0:11:52 > 0:11:5469 classrooms.
0:11:55 > 0:11:5778 teachers.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Disappear, now!
0:12:00 > 0:12:011,300 lockers.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05And about two-and-a-half miles of corridor.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13My nerves were, like, up here
0:12:13 > 0:12:17because, well, new school, new teachers,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19100 different classrooms to try and get to.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Scary!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Olivia's first destination is the main hall.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Good morning. Good morning.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Head of Year 7, Mr Shabir...
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Shh, boys! - ..is here to greet our new arrivals.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Good morning, Year 7!
0:12:50 > 0:12:51- ALL:- Good morning!
0:12:51 > 0:12:56I'm excited to see you all in such perfect uniform.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58You're looking smart.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03First day of secondary school, how exciting is this?
0:13:03 > 0:13:08These times, best days of your life, so you need to enjoy them.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Now, you might not know everybody here
0:13:10 > 0:13:12cos you're from different primary schools.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16So regardless of where you came from, which primary school,
0:13:16 > 0:13:17what we will now become...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22..is a team, a year group, and a family.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Year 7 is split into ten different form groups,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27who meet first thing every morning.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34OK, then, 22 - new form room.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Abdul's form tutor is just as new here as he is.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42My name...
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Mr Shore.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I've not been a form teacher before so this is new to me as well,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52so if you've got any questions and I don't know, I'll say I don't know.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53That's quite scary.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58I've now got 30 people that I'm completely responsible for,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01so it's my challenge to get them through, to make sure they're OK.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Get to know everyone in your class,
0:14:04 > 0:14:09cos these will be your classmates in the other lessons as well.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Ah! - Ah! What do you mean, "Ah"?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13This is a good group, look at this group. Yeah!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I was like, the only person I know in here is Javonte.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Fist-bump.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Well, at least you know someone,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and that someone is Abdul's best mate from primary school.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Mm-hmm. We've been best friends forever!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Ow! That actually hurt.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Best friends forever!
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Ha! You missed.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35OK, moving on to the interview!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Morning.- Morning.- Morning.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Olivia's also meeting her form for the first time.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I'm sure you guys have been looking forward to these,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46but guess what we have? We have our locker keys!
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Yay!
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Form tutor Mr Shabir has a brand-new responsibility for his class.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Make sure that it says your name.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55If you're not sure of your name,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57just check your blazer and the tag at the back.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59In primary, you just have everything on a peg.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01When I first got my locker, I was like...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03That makes you feel more mature,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06because you've got to look after the key, it's your responsibility.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm just really excited to get a locker! This is a big moment for me!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Last person, turn the lights off!
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Here at Our School, there's a locker for everyone...
0:15:15 > 0:15:16..but you have to find it first.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Though I'm not sure all the old lockers have been cleared out.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Whoa! You might open your lockers and have a gift.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Who wants a stinky pair of shoes?!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Someone's got a spider, we've got a spider!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36We've got a spider!
0:15:36 > 0:15:37- Agh!- We've got a spider!
0:15:37 > 0:15:38SCREAMING
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Agh!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51OK, guys, welcome to science. Let's go!
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Find a seat anywhere.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Please don't touch any of the equipment right now.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02This is ours.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Abdul's got his first science lesson - and there's a familiar face
0:16:05 > 0:16:07at the front of the class.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08In science -
0:16:08 > 0:16:11and you'll get to see this as you go through all your different years -
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- we can do lots of cool stuff, like...- Wow!- Whoa!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Mr Shore's not just a form tutor.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- VOICEOVER:- I would say I'm a science geek. I've always liked science.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24You do fun practicals, have these big explosions, the colour changes,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28things like that. When you put your splint into the flame...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31OK? You should get a different colour.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Whoa!- Oh, man, this is going to be the best lesson ever!
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Put it on the safety flame.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38So, we close it. Don't start yet, guys.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41What?!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45You open the hole on the Bunsen burner. Please touch
0:16:45 > 0:16:47just the bottom. The top is really hot.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'll only warn you once, OK?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Whoa!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53That's red.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Oh!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57VERY pretty. But don't get too excited, boys.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Abdul!- Careful.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Careful.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'm OK, I'm OK.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Do NOT try that at home, anyone.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12I burned my hand.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14It was REALLY hot.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Yeah. That's why you've always got to be careful.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Yeah. Are you sure you're OK?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23There's always one that likes to have a little play with the flame.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Abdul decides he's going to be the one,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and decided he was going to try and touch the Bunsen burner,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30after being told not to. Let me see.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Where was it, on the top of your hand, just there?
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- Yeah, just there.- OK,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I think we should go and rinse it under the water.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I don't think he'll do it again. I think he's learnt a lesson.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40We've dealt with it, he's safe.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45We'll see if he's good at listening to instructions in the future.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Are you all right, Abdul, yeah?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Yeah.- Won't do that again, will you?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- No.- OK?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Stick these on as well.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01What do you think is my favourite subject?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Art.- Art. Yeah. You got it right.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The reason I like art is that you get to express yourself.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Olivia's in her first art lesson with Mr Tipping,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12who has a big assignment to announce.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Now, I've called this project an art selfie.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Any ideas what you might be doing in an art selfie?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- OK, Olivia.- You have to paint a picture of yourself.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Fantastic. You have to paint a picture of yourself.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30This is your opportunity, your chance to make it about you.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Oh, look at my sexy face in my sexy mirror.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Over the next few weeks of painting,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Year 7 will have to express what they're REALLY like.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Oh! It's so hard!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Told you, told you it's hard!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48So it's a good way to get to know your new classmates,
0:18:48 > 0:18:49like Wayne here.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52This is tight, Mr Tipping, this is tight.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- It's like torture.- Let's have a peek into the future.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Wayne's got a whole load of energy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05But at school, he won't keep a lid on it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'm going to ask you to leave, OK?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- You know what?- And it's going to get him in deep trouble.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Go and stand outside. - I can never get anything right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15You CAN get everything right.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Happened in my primary - I could never get nothing right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Will Wayne be able to turn things round in Year 7?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22There's one side...
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Devil.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25There's one side...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Angel.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Back in art, and after the class's first attempt at a self-portrait,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Mr Tipping is making things a little trickier.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39This time, you don't use a mirror.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40- Aww!- Oh!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44You have to... You have to...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Listen. You have to close your eyes.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- What?!- Oh, no!
0:19:49 > 0:19:54And you only have 1 minute 30 seconds.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Oh, really?!
0:19:56 > 0:20:00What? Are you serious right now? Like...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Do not open your eyes.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Resist the temptation to open your eyes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I'm going to draw my eye.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12You had to feel your face.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So, like, this is my chin.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17This is my nose. This is my gob.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18This is my eyeballs.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Don't forget any of your features.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Sometimes people forget to draw their nose and it looks a bit odd.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25It was just so hard, but it was really funny as well,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27looking at everybody else's drawings.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34This looks like a deformed creature.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37This is meant to be my eyebrows.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Somebody else attempting an art selfie is Nimra -
0:20:40 > 0:20:42one of the smallest in Year 7.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48All of my sister's friends are calling me cute and tiny,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50it's so annoying.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'm not a baby and I don't want to be called cute.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55My favourite animal's a cheetah and, um...
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Ummmm...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I was born with a squeaky voice, it's not MY fault.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Maybe Nimra's self-portrait is a chance to show her classmates
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- what she's REALLY like.- Have you thought about other things that
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- you want to put into it yet?- Yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13I want people to look at it and read my personality.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Yes. Because there's more to you...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Yeah.- ..than your size.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Yeah.- Yeah.- High five.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Nearly halfway through their first day,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35the new arrivals are realising that Our School's
0:21:35 > 0:21:37not as scary as they feared.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I thought I was going to get bullied
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- but I don't think it's a problem now.- What rumours did you hear?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I heard they were going to flush my head down the toilet.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Really?- It was very scary for me.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I thought bullies were going to put a sign behind me saying, "Kick me,"
0:21:51 > 0:21:55and people are going to kick me all over the place and make me a joke.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Well, we know that that won't happen because you've got teachers around
0:21:59 > 0:22:03you and the teachers will, like, stick up for you, won't they?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05True that. True that.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07But at break time, there IS something to worry about,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10when Headteacher Mr Jones is on patrol.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- You've got no tie?- No.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15- Why's that?- I forgot it at home.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Go and see student reception, tell them, "I've got no tie."
0:22:18 > 0:22:22I know what you're thinking. Two Mr Joneses, right?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Well, it's simple.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25I'm the one that teaches maths.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Y, oh, Y, oh, Y is Y six?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32And he's the one who's in charge of the whole school.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33So, best behaviour, all right?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Hi, Mr Jones.- How you doing? Where's your tie?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38What? I lost it. I'll get one soon.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, go and get one from student reception as a spare.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Our current Year 7s have the potential to be the greatest
0:22:44 > 0:22:47year group that's ever come through Firth Park Academy.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49You know, the world is your oyster.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51This is where dreams start and are made.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So I'm really, really positive about what they can achieve.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I hope you're polishing your own shoes, Morgan.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59No? Someone has to do it -
0:22:59 > 0:23:02has to line them up on a Sunday night, like I do for MY kids?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Very lucky.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Right, thank you. Good afternoon, Year 7.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Good afternoon, Miss Ahmed.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Student support leader Miss Ahmed is laying down what happens
0:23:13 > 0:23:15if you break the rules around here.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18If we do start getting an attendance issue,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21we have special reports and it will start with your form teacher first.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25They are a lot stricter here than they are in primary.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Very, very, very,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30very, very strict.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Are you all right?- What?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Are you all right?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37If you miss, say, three days in a week, right?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39What would I do?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43But I'm not sure if it's holding Abdul's attention.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Attendance and punctuality...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48When I was in Miss Ahmed's class, I was extremely tired.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Your form teacher will put you on this report...
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Keep those eyes open, Abdul. This is important stuff.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It was absolutely completely boring.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59What do you have to do? You'll have targets
0:23:59 > 0:24:01and you'll have to get it signed.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05I tried my best to stay awake but my eyes got WAY too heavy.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07..your opportunities for the future,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10so if you start getting into bad habits now...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13He was literally like this.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17If you get some crosses, it comes with a consequence.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21He was literally trying to keep his eyes open, like...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Trying literally all the time.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27So I might then give you a detention...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- He's awake. No? - Is that clear?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- He's awake! - Any questions on attendance?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Are we all clear? Right.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- He's asleep. - If you do come in late, OK?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Doosh. I was asleep.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Yeah.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Thankfully for Abdul, the day's almost over.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Oxygen helps things burn.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Back in science, I think Mr Shore's enjoying himself.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Light it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I'm watching it, I'm watching it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02If I put it in there...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04THEY ALL GASP
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Our new teacher wanted to make a good first impression on Year 7.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I reckon it's going pretty well.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I just love their energy. I love their enthusiasm.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I just hope that they feel the same way, basically.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- What colour's that?- Black.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22What happens when I drop it in oxygen?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Oh, Mr Shore. The best teacher. - The best teacher.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Yeah.- Yeah.- He's got a nice smile. - Yeah. He's funny.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Mr Shore is the best teacher ever.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I think what you're trying to say, Year 7,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42is that Mr Shore's the SECOND-best teacher. Right? Behind me.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44No? Fine.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Get your books back into your drawers
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and stand behind your seats ready to go.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I don't want to go!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58So, it's not just the pupils settling in here,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00it's the teachers, too. Welcome to the team, Mr Shore.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02BELL RINGS
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Well done, Year 7.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08The school day is over.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13And you've all survived.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I felt so happy to finish my first day,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21just to be able to go home and tell my mum everything that's happened,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and how exciting new schools are,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25and how good secondary school is.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I think it's gone pretty well because I've made a lot of friends
0:26:30 > 0:26:32and I've got used to the school,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34and it's been very exciting.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40If there's younger kids that are not in secondary school watching this,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43there is seriously nothing to be worried about
0:26:43 > 0:26:45moving up to secondary school.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47So, how was your day?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It was great!
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Right.- I made a lot of friends, I got to know a lot of teachers.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Just like I said?- Yeah. I did get a little bit lost,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59but I managed to get to all the lessons on time.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01See if you can survive tomorrow.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Which hopefully I will.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10As soon as I got out of school, I was like, "Yes, I did it!
0:27:10 > 0:27:12"I survived my first day at school."
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Yeah, that was just amazing.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Well done. I'm glad you've got through it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24If I were you, I'd get some rest, Olivia.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Day one is done, but you've got
0:27:26 > 0:27:29a whole term to look forward to at Our School.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Oh, yes, look at that.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Our students get a chance to express themselves.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You've painted yourself
0:27:41 > 0:27:43with an abnormally sized pen.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I'm one of the math teachers here at Firth Park Academy.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49My name's Mr Jones. And I've just walked into a wall.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54My favourite part of the school maybe was the woodwork
0:27:54 > 0:27:58or maybe even the cafeteria, because have you tried the pizzas here?
0:27:58 > 0:28:01They are off the hook. You know, you should.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04You should go, get in line, order a pizza and then eat it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08It'll be like Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11when he tried his first pizza and then his brain explodes.
