SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:00:330:00:34

Meet our new Year 7.

0:00:340:00:36

-Sick bucket!

-It's the most important school year of their life so far.

0:00:360:00:41

Haircut, sir?

0:00:410:00:43

They're all starting here together.

0:00:430:00:45

That level of noise is absolutely disgusting.

0:00:450:00:49

SCREAM

0:00:490:00:51

This has...seen better days!

0:00:590:01:01

You stink, sir.

0:01:030:01:04

CBBC have filled the entire place with cameras,

0:01:070:01:10

so you'll get to watch Year 7 every step of the way.

0:01:100:01:13

Stop waving at me!

0:01:140:01:16

Yeah!

0:01:160:01:17

Hello, I'm Mr Jones. I'm a maths teacher at Our School

0:01:170:01:20

and every time that you're here I'm going to be here, too.

0:01:200:01:23

Right now I'm late for a lesson.

0:01:230:01:24

Excuse me.

0:01:240:01:26

Come on in.

0:01:270:01:29

# Our School! #

0:01:290:01:30

Boom! Mic drop!

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:01:320:01:34

DISTANT GULL CRIES

0:01:350:01:37

Ah, listen to that.

0:01:370:01:38

Peace and quiet.

0:01:390:01:41

It won't last.

0:01:440:01:45

LOUD DANCE MUSIC

0:01:450:01:48

Welcome to Firth Park Academy in Sheffield.

0:01:540:01:58

Every year over 1,000 pupils walk through our gates.

0:01:580:02:03

270 of them are making that big step up from primary,

0:02:030:02:07

and our new Year 7, they are summat else!

0:02:070:02:11

You've got Wayne.

0:02:120:02:13

Who gets a bit daft.

0:02:130:02:15

And Morgan. Not to be messed with.

0:02:170:02:20

Chick-a-chick-a-chick chick-a-boom!

0:02:210:02:24

Alojz. Loves to dance.

0:02:240:02:26

You're so mean!

0:02:270:02:29

But don't call Nimra "cute".

0:02:290:02:31

Then there's Abdul.

0:02:310:02:33

Wrong!

0:02:330:02:35

Well, what can you say about Abdul?

0:02:350:02:36

You're on a detention! You've lost your lunch hour.

0:02:380:02:41

You are not to climb on these chairs.

0:02:410:02:42

And don't get me started on the teachers.

0:02:420:02:44

I'm kind of regretting this now.

0:02:440:02:46

I teach them maths.

0:02:470:02:49

That's me, Mr Jones.

0:02:490:02:51

I can lean like this and not fall over.

0:02:510:02:53

I'm pretty awesome, me.

0:02:530:02:55

We've all got an amazing term ahead of us.

0:02:560:02:59

There'll be laughs...

0:03:010:03:02

..there'll be drama...

0:03:040:03:05

Sit down, on a chair, now.

0:03:050:03:07

..and some very bad jokes.

0:03:070:03:09

How does Bob Marley like his doughnuts?

0:03:090:03:12

Wi' jam in!

0:03:120:03:13

-Aaarggh!

-You don't get it?

0:03:130:03:15

But I reckon we're getting ahead of ourselves.

0:03:150:03:19

Can we rewind a bit? Let's go back to the summer holidays,

0:03:190:03:22

before all this started.

0:03:220:03:24

Who's got the big red button? Hit it.

0:03:240:03:26

Right. Summertime.

0:03:310:03:33

Bit warmer. Like it.

0:03:330:03:35

Over at the school CBBC are putting in their cameras,

0:03:360:03:39

ready to film the biggest term of school life, so far,

0:03:390:03:42

when it starts in September.

0:03:420:03:44

But that's enough of that.

0:03:450:03:48

Goal!

0:03:480:03:49

It's the summer holidays.

0:03:490:03:51

You want to be outside playing.

0:03:510:03:52

What kind of bug is that?

0:03:530:03:55

Oh, the bug's so happy he's going to be on TV!

0:03:550:03:57

270 Year 6 pupils have just finished primary school,

0:03:590:04:03

and now they're a summer holiday away from becoming Year 7.

0:04:030:04:06

There are some big changes on the way

0:04:080:04:11

and life won't be quite the same again.

0:04:110:04:13

We used to be the oldest in primary.

0:04:130:04:15

-Yeah.

-Now we're the youngest!

0:04:150:04:16

That's kind of frightening for me.

0:04:180:04:20

I'm nervous about getting along with other people

0:04:200:04:23

because they might not like me, I might not like them.

0:04:230:04:27

There are always some daft rumours about what happens at big school.

0:04:270:04:31

My mum keeps on making me even more nervous

0:04:310:04:33

because she keeps on going,

0:04:330:04:35

on your birthday they're going to get eggs and flowers - and flour -

0:04:350:04:39

and they're going to egg you and then chuck flour all over you.

0:04:390:04:42

Yeah, Morgan. I can guarantee

0:04:420:04:44

that is not how we do things at our school.

0:04:440:04:46

Lots of people feel worried about big school

0:04:500:04:53

but I feel confident and nothing will happen.

0:04:530:04:55

I like the fact that it's a bigger school,

0:04:580:05:01

but there's the horrible feeling

0:05:010:05:04

that you just take one wrong turn and you get absolutely lost!

0:05:040:05:09

The most thing I'm excited about is

0:05:090:05:11

getting lost, because if I'm lost I get to miss all my lessons.

0:05:110:05:16

And it won't be my fault.

0:05:160:05:18

I'm not sure if that's quite the right attitude, Fareed.

0:05:180:05:20

It's going to take me a while to learn everyone's names.

0:05:220:05:25

So for now let's get to know just a couple of our new students.

0:05:250:05:29

Wah! Thank you!

0:05:300:05:32

First, let's meet Abdul.

0:05:320:05:35

This is my new school uniform for Firth Park Academy.

0:05:400:05:43

So you've got the tie, you've got a jumper, the shirt, and the blazer.

0:05:430:05:47

I think it's pretty cool.

0:05:470:05:49

It's comfortable and it's representative to your school, yeah.

0:05:490:05:52

I think, I think this is a good uniform.

0:05:520:05:54

Making the move to secondary school can mean a lot of mixed emotions.

0:05:560:05:59

One side of me feels, like, really sad,

0:05:590:06:01

leaving all the teachers I know, some of my friends,

0:06:010:06:04

but I've decided it's, like, new beginnings.

0:06:040:06:07

New friends, new school,

0:06:070:06:08

so I'm sad/happy.

0:06:080:06:12

Abdul's got a secret weapon.

0:06:130:06:15

His big sister.

0:06:150:06:16

My big sister's called Iman.

0:06:160:06:18

She's 12 years old,

0:06:180:06:19

she's, like, the most clever human being I've ever seen.

0:06:190:06:22

Have you seen her brain?

0:06:220:06:25

It's, like, really big.

0:06:250:06:27

So, um, what's it like at secondary school?

0:06:270:06:30

It's a lot, lot bigger. It's kind of like Hogwarts.

0:06:300:06:32

She's already at Firth Park.

0:06:320:06:33

So that might be an advantage for me because, maybe, she can help me.

0:06:330:06:38

When you come to school for the first time,

0:06:380:06:41

try not to act too like you know it all.

0:06:410:06:44

Food for thought, Abdul.

0:06:440:06:46

See you at school.

0:06:460:06:47

I'm mostly confident, like 75% confident.

0:06:470:06:51

But not everyone's feeling so confident.

0:06:520:06:55

Meet Olivia.

0:06:580:06:59

Olivia doesn't have an older sibling to give advice about big school.

0:07:000:07:04

There's my mum and my dad and my two sisters, I'm the oldest,

0:07:040:07:08

and I'm, like, kind of the peacekeeper.

0:07:080:07:10

So my two sisters don't have an argument.

0:07:100:07:12

Olivia was one of the top students at her primary school.

0:07:120:07:16

I just really enjoy learning.

0:07:160:07:18

I'm a geek.

0:07:180:07:19

So how are you feeling about Year 7?

0:07:200:07:22

I'm nervous about going to big school

0:07:220:07:24

because it's different - new people, new teachers.

0:07:240:07:27

Nobody really knows me, so it's like starting again,

0:07:270:07:31

because you've got to reintroduce yourself to new people.

0:07:310:07:33

But I'm also excited

0:07:330:07:34

because I think it's going to be a lot more fun.

0:07:340:07:37

It's the first day of term.

0:07:500:07:52

The day they all officially become Year 7.

0:07:550:07:58

I feel nervous because, like, what if you get something wrong?

0:08:010:08:05

They've got plenty of worries.

0:08:070:08:08

I'm nervous that I won't make many new friends.

0:08:090:08:13

But a lot of anticipation, too.

0:08:150:08:17

I'm just excited cos new friends, new teachers, new everything.

0:08:170:08:22

It's like a new beginning.

0:08:240:08:25

All over town, pencil cases are being filled

0:08:270:08:29

and blazers are being worn for the first time.

0:08:290:08:32

Smile, then.

0:08:320:08:35

Ooh, my baby boy!

0:08:350:08:37

Love it, mate.

0:08:380:08:39

Olivia's up early.

0:08:390:08:41

I've been up since 5:30 because, erm, when I'm nervous or excited,

0:08:410:08:47

I always end up getting up really early cos I can't wait!

0:08:470:08:50

And Abdul's doing his final prep.

0:08:500:08:52

I am going to be very nervous and very worried.

0:08:540:08:57

Straighten this out a bit!

0:08:570:08:59

Your tie needs to be kind of in the middle.

0:09:000:09:02

You have to look smart. Right, chest high.

0:09:020:09:05

-Smile!

-Smile.

-You're done!

0:09:050:09:07

But it's not just students getting ready.

0:09:100:09:13

-Good luck.

-Thank you. I feel a bit nervous.

0:09:130:09:15

-I'm sure it'll be fine.

-See you later.

0:09:150:09:17

See you later. Bye-bye.

0:09:170:09:18

We have a brand-new teacher at our school today.

0:09:180:09:21

Mr Shore.

0:09:220:09:23

Today's my first day.

0:09:250:09:27

It's my first teaching job, so I'm excited to see how that goes.

0:09:270:09:32

But there's always that bit of apprehension.

0:09:320:09:35

I'm a little bit scared as well.

0:09:350:09:37

Are the kids going to like me? Are the teachers going to like me?

0:09:370:09:40

Am I going to get lost?

0:09:400:09:41

Er... I guess it's all those...

0:09:410:09:43

similar things to all the Year 7s will have when they start.

0:09:430:09:46

Erm, we're all nervous, really, and we'll all get through it together.

0:09:460:09:50

And here we are - my new school.

0:09:510:09:54

Very exciting.

0:09:540:09:55

So the teachers are arriving - all we need now are the students.

0:09:570:10:01

-Right, we'll see you later, OK? Have a good day.

-Yeah.

0:10:010:10:05

-Love you.

-Bye.

-Have fun!

0:10:050:10:08

No more putting it off - it's time to go to school!

0:10:080:10:11

-You've got your lunch?

-Yeah.

0:10:130:10:14

-PE kit?

-Mm-hmm.

-Your books?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

0:10:140:10:18

-Aah!

-You'll be fine.

0:10:180:10:20

Bye!

0:10:200:10:21

-Bye!

-Bye, Tom!

0:10:210:10:24

I said, bye, Tom!

0:10:240:10:26

I said, bye! That's a key word!

0:10:260:10:29

Bye!

0:10:290:10:30

All's I've had is a Frostie bar, I'm very hungry,

0:10:320:10:34

and I've been up since six.

0:10:340:10:36

Abdul's getting some last-minute tips from his sister.

0:10:370:10:40

When are you allowed to use your phone?

0:10:400:10:42

During, er, break and lunchtimes, but not during classes.

0:10:420:10:46

I'm nervous, you?

0:10:470:10:49

Confident. Cos I know I'll get used to the school.

0:10:490:10:52

What if we got lost? Didn't know where to go.

0:10:530:10:55

And then we were late for our lesson because we were lost.

0:10:550:10:59

-We'd get in trouble.

-It's OK, we'll tell them why we were lost.

0:10:590:11:03

Right, good luck.

0:11:080:11:10

Right. OK.

0:11:100:11:11

-Hope you survive!

-Huh!

0:11:110:11:13

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:11:130:11:14

Welcome to Our School...

0:11:140:11:16

Just don't leave a mess, all right?

0:11:160:11:18

I was afraid of going in, so I just took a deep breath,

0:11:250:11:28

just went in and it happened.

0:11:280:11:29

Me and Javonte's old school is like a midget compared to this school.

0:11:380:11:43

You're not wrong, Abdul. Our school is massive.

0:11:430:11:47

We've got over 1,000 pupils.

0:11:480:11:50

69 classrooms.

0:11:520:11:54

78 teachers.

0:11:550:11:57

Disappear, now!

0:11:570:11:58

1,300 lockers.

0:12:000:12:01

And about two-and-a-half miles of corridor.

0:12:030:12:05

My nerves were, like, up here

0:12:100:12:13

because, well, new school, new teachers,

0:12:130:12:17

100 different classrooms to try and get to.

0:12:170:12:19

Scary!

0:12:190:12:20

Olivia's first destination is the main hall.

0:12:250:12:28

Good morning. Good morning.

0:12:380:12:40

Head of Year 7, Mr Shabir...

0:12:400:12:43

-Shh, boys!

-..is here to greet our new arrivals.

0:12:430:12:47

Good morning, Year 7!

0:12:480:12:50

-ALL:

-Good morning!

0:12:500:12:51

I'm excited to see you all in such perfect uniform.

0:12:510:12:56

You're looking smart.

0:12:560:12:58

First day of secondary school, how exciting is this?

0:12:580:13:03

These times, best days of your life, so you need to enjoy them.

0:13:030:13:08

Now, you might not know everybody here

0:13:080:13:10

cos you're from different primary schools.

0:13:100:13:12

So regardless of where you came from, which primary school,

0:13:120:13:16

what we will now become...

0:13:160:13:17

..is a team, a year group, and a family.

0:13:190:13:22

Year 7 is split into ten different form groups,

0:13:220:13:25

who meet first thing every morning.

0:13:250:13:27

OK, then, 22 - new form room.

0:13:320:13:34

Abdul's form tutor is just as new here as he is.

0:13:360:13:40

My name...

0:13:400:13:42

Mr Shore.

0:13:420:13:43

I've not been a form teacher before so this is new to me as well,

0:13:450:13:48

so if you've got any questions and I don't know, I'll say I don't know.

0:13:480:13:52

That's quite scary.

0:13:520:13:53

I've now got 30 people that I'm completely responsible for,

0:13:530:13:58

so it's my challenge to get them through, to make sure they're OK.

0:13:580:14:01

Get to know everyone in your class,

0:14:010:14:04

cos these will be your classmates in the other lessons as well.

0:14:040:14:09

-Ah!

-Ah! What do you mean, "Ah"?

0:14:090:14:11

This is a good group, look at this group. Yeah!

0:14:110:14:13

I was like, the only person I know in here is Javonte.

0:14:130:14:16

Fist-bump.

0:14:180:14:20

Well, at least you know someone,

0:14:200:14:22

and that someone is Abdul's best mate from primary school.

0:14:220:14:25

Mm-hmm. We've been best friends forever!

0:14:250:14:27

Ow! That actually hurt.

0:14:270:14:29

Best friends forever!

0:14:290:14:31

Ha! You missed.

0:14:310:14:33

OK, moving on to the interview!

0:14:330:14:35

-Morning.

-Morning.

-Morning.

0:14:350:14:38

Olivia's also meeting her form for the first time.

0:14:380:14:41

I'm sure you guys have been looking forward to these,

0:14:410:14:43

but guess what we have? We have our locker keys!

0:14:430:14:46

Yay!

0:14:460:14:47

Form tutor Mr Shabir has a brand-new responsibility for his class.

0:14:470:14:52

Make sure that it says your name.

0:14:520:14:53

If you're not sure of your name,

0:14:530:14:55

just check your blazer and the tag at the back.

0:14:550:14:57

In primary, you just have everything on a peg.

0:14:570:14:59

When I first got my locker, I was like...

0:14:590:15:01

That makes you feel more mature,

0:15:010:15:03

because you've got to look after the key, it's your responsibility.

0:15:030:15:06

I'm just really excited to get a locker! This is a big moment for me!

0:15:060:15:09

Last person, turn the lights off!

0:15:090:15:11

Here at Our School, there's a locker for everyone...

0:15:110:15:15

..but you have to find it first.

0:15:150:15:16

Though I'm not sure all the old lockers have been cleared out.

0:15:220:15:26

Whoa! You might open your lockers and have a gift.

0:15:260:15:29

Who wants a stinky pair of shoes?!

0:15:290:15:32

Someone's got a spider, we've got a spider!

0:15:320:15:34

We've got a spider!

0:15:340:15:36

-Agh!

-We've got a spider!

0:15:360:15:37

SCREAMING

0:15:370:15:38

Agh!

0:15:400:15:41

OK, guys, welcome to science. Let's go!

0:15:480:15:51

Find a seat anywhere.

0:15:550:15:56

Please don't touch any of the equipment right now.

0:15:560:16:00

This is ours.

0:16:000:16:02

Abdul's got his first science lesson - and there's a familiar face

0:16:020:16:05

at the front of the class.

0:16:050:16:07

In science -

0:16:070:16:08

and you'll get to see this as you go through all your different years -

0:16:080:16:11

-we can do lots of cool stuff, like...

-Wow!

-Whoa!

0:16:110:16:15

Mr Shore's not just a form tutor.

0:16:150:16:17

-VOICEOVER:

-I would say I'm a science geek. I've always liked science.

0:16:170:16:20

You do fun practicals, have these big explosions, the colour changes,

0:16:200:16:24

things like that. When you put your splint into the flame...

0:16:240:16:28

OK? You should get a different colour.

0:16:280:16:31

-Whoa!

-Oh, man, this is going to be the best lesson ever!

0:16:310:16:34

Put it on the safety flame.

0:16:340:16:36

So, we close it. Don't start yet, guys.

0:16:360:16:38

What?!

0:16:400:16:41

You open the hole on the Bunsen burner. Please touch

0:16:420:16:45

just the bottom. The top is really hot.

0:16:450:16:47

I'll only warn you once, OK?

0:16:470:16:49

Whoa!

0:16:490:16:51

That's red.

0:16:510:16:53

Oh!

0:16:530:16:54

VERY pretty. But don't get too excited, boys.

0:16:540:16:57

-Abdul!

-Careful.

0:16:580:17:00

Careful.

0:17:000:17:03

I'm OK, I'm OK.

0:17:030:17:05

Do NOT try that at home, anyone.

0:17:050:17:08

I burned my hand.

0:17:110:17:12

It was REALLY hot.

0:17:120:17:14

Yeah. That's why you've always got to be careful.

0:17:140:17:17

Yeah. Are you sure you're OK?

0:17:170:17:20

There's always one that likes to have a little play with the flame.

0:17:200:17:23

Abdul decides he's going to be the one,

0:17:230:17:25

and decided he was going to try and touch the Bunsen burner,

0:17:250:17:28

after being told not to. Let me see.

0:17:280:17:30

Where was it, on the top of your hand, just there?

0:17:300:17:33

-Yeah, just there.

-OK,

0:17:330:17:34

I think we should go and rinse it under the water.

0:17:340:17:36

I don't think he'll do it again. I think he's learnt a lesson.

0:17:360:17:39

We've dealt with it, he's safe.

0:17:390:17:40

We'll see if he's good at listening to instructions in the future.

0:17:420:17:45

Are you all right, Abdul, yeah?

0:17:450:17:47

-Yeah.

-Won't do that again, will you?

0:17:470:17:49

-No.

-OK?

0:17:490:17:50

Stick these on as well.

0:17:500:17:52

What do you think is my favourite subject?

0:17:590:18:01

-Art.

-Art. Yeah. You got it right.

0:18:010:18:04

The reason I like art is that you get to express yourself.

0:18:040:18:07

Olivia's in her first art lesson with Mr Tipping,

0:18:070:18:10

who has a big assignment to announce.

0:18:100:18:12

Now, I've called this project an art selfie.

0:18:120:18:16

Any ideas what you might be doing in an art selfie?

0:18:160:18:20

-OK, Olivia.

-You have to paint a picture of yourself.

0:18:200:18:23

Fantastic. You have to paint a picture of yourself.

0:18:230:18:26

This is your opportunity, your chance to make it about you.

0:18:260:18:30

Oh, look at my sexy face in my sexy mirror.

0:18:300:18:34

Over the next few weeks of painting,

0:18:340:18:36

Year 7 will have to express what they're REALLY like.

0:18:360:18:40

Oh! It's so hard!

0:18:400:18:43

Told you, told you it's hard!

0:18:430:18:45

So it's a good way to get to know your new classmates,

0:18:450:18:48

like Wayne here.

0:18:480:18:49

This is tight, Mr Tipping, this is tight.

0:18:490:18:52

-It's like torture.

-Let's have a peek into the future.

0:18:520:18:55

Wayne's got a whole load of energy.

0:18:590:19:01

But at school, he won't keep a lid on it.

0:19:020:19:05

I'm going to ask you to leave, OK?

0:19:050:19:07

-You know what?

-And it's going to get him in deep trouble.

0:19:070:19:10

-Go and stand outside.

-I can never get anything right.

0:19:100:19:13

You CAN get everything right.

0:19:130:19:15

Happened in my primary - I could never get nothing right.

0:19:150:19:18

Will Wayne be able to turn things round in Year 7?

0:19:180:19:20

There's one side...

0:19:200:19:22

Devil.

0:19:220:19:23

There's one side...

0:19:230:19:25

Angel.

0:19:250:19:27

Back in art, and after the class's first attempt at a self-portrait,

0:19:300:19:33

Mr Tipping is making things a little trickier.

0:19:330:19:36

This time, you don't use a mirror.

0:19:370:19:39

-Aww!

-Oh!

0:19:390:19:40

You have to... You have to...

0:19:410:19:44

Listen. You have to close your eyes.

0:19:440:19:46

-What?!

-Oh, no!

0:19:460:19:49

And you only have 1 minute 30 seconds.

0:19:490:19:54

Oh, really?!

0:19:540:19:56

What? Are you serious right now? Like...

0:19:560:20:00

Do not open your eyes.

0:20:010:20:03

Resist the temptation to open your eyes.

0:20:040:20:06

I'm going to draw my eye.

0:20:060:20:09

You had to feel your face.

0:20:090:20:12

So, like, this is my chin.

0:20:120:20:15

This is my nose. This is my gob.

0:20:150:20:17

This is my eyeballs.

0:20:170:20:18

Don't forget any of your features.

0:20:180:20:20

Sometimes people forget to draw their nose and it looks a bit odd.

0:20:200:20:23

It was just so hard, but it was really funny as well,

0:20:230:20:25

looking at everybody else's drawings.

0:20:250:20:27

This looks like a deformed creature.

0:20:320:20:34

This is meant to be my eyebrows.

0:20:340:20:37

Somebody else attempting an art selfie is Nimra -

0:20:370:20:40

one of the smallest in Year 7.

0:20:400:20:42

All of my sister's friends are calling me cute and tiny,

0:20:450:20:48

it's so annoying.

0:20:480:20:50

I'm not a baby and I don't want to be called cute.

0:20:500:20:53

My favourite animal's a cheetah and, um...

0:20:530:20:55

Ummmm...

0:20:550:20:57

I was born with a squeaky voice, it's not MY fault.

0:20:570:21:00

Maybe Nimra's self-portrait is a chance to show her classmates

0:21:000:21:03

-what she's REALLY like.

-Have you thought about other things that

0:21:030:21:07

-you want to put into it yet?

-Yeah.

0:21:070:21:09

I want people to look at it and read my personality.

0:21:090:21:13

Yes. Because there's more to you...

0:21:130:21:15

-Yeah.

-..than your size.

0:21:150:21:17

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-High five.

0:21:170:21:19

Nearly halfway through their first day,

0:21:300:21:32

the new arrivals are realising that Our School's

0:21:320:21:35

not as scary as they feared.

0:21:350:21:37

I thought I was going to get bullied

0:21:380:21:40

-but I don't think it's a problem now.

-What rumours did you hear?

0:21:400:21:43

I heard they were going to flush my head down the toilet.

0:21:430:21:45

-Really?

-It was very scary for me.

0:21:450:21:47

I thought bullies were going to put a sign behind me saying, "Kick me,"

0:21:470:21:51

and people are going to kick me all over the place and make me a joke.

0:21:510:21:55

Well, we know that that won't happen because you've got teachers around

0:21:550:21:59

you and the teachers will, like, stick up for you, won't they?

0:21:590:22:03

True that. True that.

0:22:030:22:05

But at break time, there IS something to worry about,

0:22:050:22:07

when Headteacher Mr Jones is on patrol.

0:22:070:22:10

-You've got no tie?

-No.

0:22:120:22:14

-Why's that?

-I forgot it at home.

0:22:140:22:15

Go and see student reception, tell them, "I've got no tie."

0:22:150:22:18

I know what you're thinking. Two Mr Joneses, right?

0:22:180:22:22

Well, it's simple.

0:22:220:22:24

I'm the one that teaches maths.

0:22:240:22:25

Y, oh, Y, oh, Y is Y six?

0:22:250:22:28

And he's the one who's in charge of the whole school.

0:22:280:22:32

So, best behaviour, all right?

0:22:320:22:33

-Hi, Mr Jones.

-How you doing? Where's your tie?

0:22:330:22:36

What? I lost it. I'll get one soon.

0:22:360:22:38

Well, go and get one from student reception as a spare.

0:22:380:22:41

Our current Year 7s have the potential to be the greatest

0:22:410:22:44

year group that's ever come through Firth Park Academy.

0:22:440:22:47

You know, the world is your oyster.

0:22:470:22:49

This is where dreams start and are made.

0:22:490:22:51

So I'm really, really positive about what they can achieve.

0:22:510:22:54

I hope you're polishing your own shoes, Morgan.

0:22:540:22:56

No? Someone has to do it -

0:22:560:22:59

has to line them up on a Sunday night, like I do for MY kids?

0:22:590:23:02

Very lucky.

0:23:020:23:04

Right, thank you. Good afternoon, Year 7.

0:23:040:23:07

Good afternoon, Miss Ahmed.

0:23:070:23:10

Student support leader Miss Ahmed is laying down what happens

0:23:100:23:13

if you break the rules around here.

0:23:130:23:15

If we do start getting an attendance issue,

0:23:150:23:18

we have special reports and it will start with your form teacher first.

0:23:180:23:21

They are a lot stricter here than they are in primary.

0:23:210:23:25

Very, very, very,

0:23:250:23:28

very, very strict.

0:23:280:23:30

-Are you all right?

-What?

0:23:300:23:32

Are you all right?

0:23:320:23:34

If you miss, say, three days in a week, right?

0:23:340:23:37

What would I do?

0:23:370:23:39

But I'm not sure if it's holding Abdul's attention.

0:23:400:23:43

Attendance and punctuality...

0:23:430:23:45

When I was in Miss Ahmed's class, I was extremely tired.

0:23:450:23:48

Your form teacher will put you on this report...

0:23:480:23:50

Keep those eyes open, Abdul. This is important stuff.

0:23:500:23:54

It was absolutely completely boring.

0:23:540:23:56

What do you have to do? You'll have targets

0:23:560:23:59

and you'll have to get it signed.

0:23:590:24:01

I tried my best to stay awake but my eyes got WAY too heavy.

0:24:010:24:05

..your opportunities for the future,

0:24:050:24:07

so if you start getting into bad habits now...

0:24:070:24:10

He was literally like this.

0:24:100:24:13

If you get some crosses, it comes with a consequence.

0:24:140:24:17

He was literally trying to keep his eyes open, like...

0:24:170:24:21

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:24:210:24:23

Trying literally all the time.

0:24:230:24:24

So I might then give you a detention...

0:24:240:24:27

-He's awake. No?

-Is that clear?

0:24:270:24:30

-He's awake!

-Any questions on attendance?

0:24:300:24:33

Are we all clear? Right.

0:24:330:24:35

-He's asleep.

-If you do come in late, OK?

0:24:350:24:39

Doosh. I was asleep.

0:24:390:24:41

Yeah.

0:24:410:24:42

Thankfully for Abdul, the day's almost over.

0:24:450:24:49

Oxygen helps things burn.

0:24:500:24:52

Back in science, I think Mr Shore's enjoying himself.

0:24:520:24:55

Light it.

0:24:570:24:58

I'm watching it, I'm watching it.

0:24:580:25:00

If I put it in there...

0:25:000:25:02

THEY ALL GASP

0:25:020:25:04

Our new teacher wanted to make a good first impression on Year 7.

0:25:060:25:09

I reckon it's going pretty well.

0:25:090:25:12

I just love their energy. I love their enthusiasm.

0:25:120:25:15

I just hope that they feel the same way, basically.

0:25:150:25:18

-What colour's that?

-Black.

0:25:180:25:20

What happens when I drop it in oxygen?

0:25:200:25:22

-Oh, Mr Shore. The best teacher.

-The best teacher.

0:25:250:25:28

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-He's got a nice smile.

-Yeah. He's funny.

0:25:280:25:31

Mr Shore is the best teacher ever.

0:25:330:25:36

I think what you're trying to say, Year 7,

0:25:360:25:38

is that Mr Shore's the SECOND-best teacher. Right? Behind me.

0:25:380:25:42

No? Fine.

0:25:420:25:44

Get your books back into your drawers

0:25:470:25:50

and stand behind your seats ready to go.

0:25:500:25:53

I don't want to go!

0:25:530:25:55

So, it's not just the pupils settling in here,

0:25:550:25:58

it's the teachers, too. Welcome to the team, Mr Shore.

0:25:580:26:00

BELL RINGS

0:26:000:26:02

Well done, Year 7.

0:26:040:26:06

The school day is over.

0:26:060:26:08

And you've all survived.

0:26:110:26:13

I felt so happy to finish my first day,

0:26:150:26:17

just to be able to go home and tell my mum everything that's happened,

0:26:170:26:21

and how exciting new schools are,

0:26:210:26:23

and how good secondary school is.

0:26:230:26:25

I think it's gone pretty well because I've made a lot of friends

0:26:270:26:30

and I've got used to the school,

0:26:300:26:32

and it's been very exciting.

0:26:320:26:34

If there's younger kids that are not in secondary school watching this,

0:26:360:26:40

there is seriously nothing to be worried about

0:26:400:26:43

moving up to secondary school.

0:26:430:26:45

So, how was your day?

0:26:450:26:47

It was great!

0:26:470:26:49

-Right.

-I made a lot of friends, I got to know a lot of teachers.

0:26:490:26:53

-Just like I said?

-Yeah. I did get a little bit lost,

0:26:530:26:56

but I managed to get to all the lessons on time.

0:26:560:26:59

See if you can survive tomorrow.

0:26:590:27:01

Which hopefully I will.

0:27:010:27:03

As soon as I got out of school, I was like, "Yes, I did it!

0:27:080:27:10

"I survived my first day at school."

0:27:100:27:12

Yeah, that was just amazing.

0:27:120:27:14

Well done. I'm glad you've got through it.

0:27:160:27:19

If I were you, I'd get some rest, Olivia.

0:27:210:27:24

Day one is done, but you've got

0:27:240:27:26

a whole term to look forward to at Our School.

0:27:260:27:29

Oh, yes, look at that.

0:27:340:27:36

Our students get a chance to express themselves.

0:27:360:27:39

You've painted yourself

0:27:390:27:41

with an abnormally sized pen.

0:27:410:27:43

I'm one of the math teachers here at Firth Park Academy.

0:27:440:27:47

My name's Mr Jones. And I've just walked into a wall.

0:27:470:27:49

My favourite part of the school maybe was the woodwork

0:27:510:27:54

or maybe even the cafeteria, because have you tried the pizzas here?

0:27:540:27:58

They are off the hook. You know, you should.

0:27:580:28:01

You should go, get in line, order a pizza and then eat it.

0:28:010:28:04

It'll be like Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012,

0:28:040:28:08

when he tried his first pizza and then his brain explodes.
