0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today in Our School:
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Two students take on the unthinkable...
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- We're wanting to do a rap. - As in, like, a chicken wrap?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11This is going to be a heck of a ride.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13And what's the actions like?
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Oh!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16..as they try to use rap music...
0:00:16 > 0:00:19- RAPPING:- # Get your sums right and your brain gets bigger! #
0:00:19 > 0:00:22..to make their teachers cool.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Is that a legitimate move?
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Not really.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Meet our new Year 7.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Sick bucket!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37It's the most important school year of their life so far.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Haircut, sir?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41They're all starting here together.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45That level of noise is absolutely disgusting.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Ah!
0:00:46 > 0:00:47SCREAMING
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Yes!
0:00:55 > 0:00:56This has seen better days.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00You stink, sir.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06CBBC have filled the entire place with cameras,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09so you'll get to watch Year 7 every step of the way.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11OOHING
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hello, I'm Mr Jones.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'm a maths teacher at Our School,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and every time that you're here, I'm going to be here too.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Right now, I'm late for a lesson, excuse me.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Come on in.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27# Our School! #
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Boom! Mic drop.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36MUSIC: The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars
0:01:42 > 0:01:45There are some mornings when you look out of the window
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and wish you could just stay in the warm.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Winter at Our School can be pretty chilly,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55even if a bit of snow now and then is good fun.
0:02:03 > 0:02:074,000 miles away in Kenya, it's a very different story.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Here, it's often baking hot and kids can walk for miles to get to school.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16That's if they're even lucky enough to go to school.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20How do I know so much about it?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23This is the Memosi School in southern Kenya...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Class.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28..which gives an education to children
0:02:28 > 0:02:31who wouldn't otherwise be able to go to school.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And this term, our Year 7 students will be raising money
0:02:35 > 0:02:39so that even more kids in Kenya can get an education.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43There's going to be loads of fundraising,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and head teacher Mr Jones is kicking it all off.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK. We're going to start with, Lameer.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52What's an idea for how we can raise some sponsor money for Memosi?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54A costume day where the best costumes win.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, OK.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Like a competition, yeah? Wayne?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02An idea is if you support a favourite football team
0:03:02 > 0:03:05where you can come in their rivals kit
0:03:05 > 0:03:08and I'll come in United kit for us.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Oh, so that's an interesting idea.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Not quite a football and it's not quite a football kit, Wayne, but...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, well done.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17We should do like cake sales and things like that.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Yeah, baking.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Me and my friend, Millie,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23were on about going to her work and trying to sell, like, buns.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26What about giving up food?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I don't think so. No! No! No!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32My food! My food!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I know some of you had your own ideas about how to make some money,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39how to get some fundraising.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Kayden, do you have any ideas?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44We could always make some teachers rap in assembly
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- in front of everyone. - Oh, yes, sir.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47I think that's a great idea,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50if you can make some manage to persuade the teachers to do it, OK?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Also, are you a beat-boxer?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Yeah.- Why don't you go and beat-box with him?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Yeah.- Is that all right, Kayden?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Yeah.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00So, our resident rapper, Kayden,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02along with our top beat-boxer, Javonte,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04will be setting our teachers the task
0:04:04 > 0:04:07of rapping in a big Year 7 assembly for charity.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So me teachers are now my students.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14This is going to be a heck of a ride.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I guess that means the teachers are on RAP-ort, then. Get it?!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Rap music's a big deal for Kayden.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26He's even got his own rap video.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27It's a...
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- HE RAPS:- # Fresh new start Make it with some art
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I could take apart every single shard
0:04:34 > 0:04:37# Of my dreams and tell you what they are
0:04:37 > 0:04:39# As I've told you in this so far
0:04:39 > 0:04:41# I didn't think I would go far
0:04:41 > 0:04:44# In my life it's not hard to make new friends
0:04:44 > 0:04:46# Cos in the end I know none of them are pretend
0:04:46 > 0:04:49# Each and all of them are true friends to the end
0:04:49 > 0:04:51# And in school No more cool
0:04:51 > 0:04:53# No more fooling around at all
0:04:53 > 0:04:57# Don't let one of them fall We'll all stick together forever
0:04:57 > 0:04:59# We won't miss school at all
0:04:59 > 0:05:01# It's a fresh new start... #
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I started rapping about three months ago,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09and in them three months I've made quite a few songs.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11# I'm going to play my part
0:05:11 > 0:05:15# Front and centre in this fresh new start... #
0:05:15 > 0:05:19When I used to get bullied in school, it made me feel angry.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21# It's a fresh new start... #
0:05:21 > 0:05:26I found music's a good way to express how I feel.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Today, in school, Kayden's making the most of his rap skills,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37but it could be a bit of a challenge.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38What you got there? Is that some homework?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- It's a rap.- We want you to do a rap.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43So, go on, then, tell me how I should do it, then.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47You need to learn the words before you can work on your speed.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- SHE RAPS:- # My name's Miss Black and this is my rap.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52# So listen up, kids, and don't chat back. #
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Is that rubbish?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Miss Black, she's very enthusiastic about it,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58but she was very bad at the same time.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00And what's the actions like?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Oh!- Oh! - MISS BLACK LAUGHS
0:06:01 > 0:06:04She's always like, "Yeah, yeah, yo, yo!"
0:06:04 > 0:06:05It wasn't working out right.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07They don't do that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Oh, come on!
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I need one of those caps for this, and like, lots of gold.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- So, OK, then. Are we ready? - JAVONTE BEAT-BOXES
0:06:14 > 0:06:16# My name's Miss Black and this is my rap
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# So listen up, kids, and don't chat back.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22# If you're loud or two cheeky expect to see one
0:06:22 > 0:06:24# School is your future It's not just for fun
0:06:24 > 0:06:27# So that's it from me I'm happy to meet you
0:06:27 > 0:06:30# Remember my name cos I'm the history teacher. #
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Yeah.- Yeah. I'll do my, like, wedding dancing.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Oh, no.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- SHE SINGS:- # I'm in the mood for dancing, romancing. #
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Has she scarred you as much as she's scarred us?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Oh, Miss Black, she's very bad.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46She can't keep in with the time.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47She's not made for rapping, no.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- SHE RAPS:- # Look at my face cos my hand ain't listening
0:06:50 > 0:06:53# I'm the history teacher What are you missing?! #
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Miss, I think you might need... This is your homework, I think.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Miss Black definitely gets an A* for effort,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- but as far as...- Progress...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05She'll probably get an F.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14When it comes to music, Javonte's certainly got high standards.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Oh, look at my afro!
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It's so big.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26In my family, it's my dad, my mum, my sister and me.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Hello, boy.- Hi, Daddy.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I describe them as caring, cos if one of us is upset,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33they will make us happy.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36What happened to my baby boy?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You're too big now.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40So, when I was about two,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44my mum and dad always noticed me, like, tapping on, like, the walls
0:07:44 > 0:07:46or picking up sticks and tapping them.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And they thought, "Oh, let's give him drum lessons."
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's been like three, three-and-a-half years now
0:07:58 > 0:08:02that I've been drumming, and I've really enjoyed it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09And check out his marching band skills.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Javonte's certainly got rhythm.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Let's hope Mr Shabir has too.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Hi, sir. - Hello, boys. What can I do for you?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45We're wondering if you could rap for us?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I've never rapped in my life. - That's the funny thing about it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Yeah, that's the funny thing about it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52So you thought you would come and make a mockery of me?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Kind of.- Yes. That means yes. - Kind of.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Let's do this. - It's basically...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57That's basically the rap.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59"You all know me, I'm Mr Shabir.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02"Slick hair.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05"Smooth beard." Correct.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08"I'm head of your year." Also correct.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Right, let's sit down. Where do you want me?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Let's do this.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14You all know me, I'm Mr Shabir.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- HE RAPS:- # You all know me I'm Mr Shabir. #
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Why is your head moving? - Cos that's what rappers do.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21They kind of, like, move their hands.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Move my hands, then. Hello. - No. No, sir.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26If we're doing attitude to learning...
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- ..a good.- Yeah. - Not quite there but good.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Do your thing, then, boys.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- JAVONTE BEAT-BOXES - Three, two, one. Let's go.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39# You all know me I'm Mr Shabir
0:09:39 > 0:09:42# Slick hair, smooth beard, I'm head of your year
0:09:42 > 0:09:44# You'll spot me in Our School, oversharp dressed
0:09:44 > 0:09:47# One thing about me, I never get stressed
0:09:47 > 0:09:50# I'm king of IT I'm prince of hi tech
0:09:50 > 0:09:53# I'm the man, the legend, total respect. #
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Yeah!- Boom!
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Total respect!
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- I like this.- Yeah.- I might just have to have a career change.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03THEY LAUGH
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Yes, Mr Shabir. Total respect.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Don't give up the day job yet, though.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16As you are fully aware,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19we are raising money for our charity in Kenya.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21We had a discussion...
0:10:22 > 0:10:26..around possible fundraising ideas.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29In your pairs, let's talk about ideas, discuss ideas.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Feel free to have a discussion.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33What's your idea?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I'm going to shave my hair
0:10:35 > 0:10:37because it's so long and it's so annoying.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39When I have to wake up and do it, it gets so annoying.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44It gets so weird.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I could shave your hair.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Is that a deal? - Yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Wow!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I'm pretty sure, I wouldn't let Mr Shabir anywhere near my hair
0:10:53 > 0:10:55with a pair of clippers.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Anyone else?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59No, I wouldn't trust him.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01My dad cuts my hair.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I wouldn't let anyone cut my hair, except my dad and Mr T.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Well, Roman's very trusting.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10This is everyone in my family.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13This is Dante, my brother.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15My mum when she were younger.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Zeena, our dog, which we rescued.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19We've got three dogs.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Two staffies, one Staffie cross,
0:11:22 > 0:11:28and we've got a little Jack Russell Terrier, cross poodle.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Wait.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I think that's Dante when he was little.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Dante's my brother and when I was four, unfortunately he passed away.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45He had an asthma attack and then he died in hospital.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Having lost Dante, like, when I were young, like,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51it changed me as a person.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53That's me and Dante.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Because I were only four when he died, we didn't have, like,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57that many photos.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00This is like one where we are together,
0:12:00 > 0:12:01so it's one that I like to keep.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Dante would be 18 this year.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08As an 18-year-old brother, we could, like, look up to him,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11ask him questions, but I can't do that,
0:12:11 > 0:12:12because he's not around, is he?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I think losing Dante's changed me quite a lot.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'm more close, like, to being emotional,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25like, because of what happened to me when I were younger.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Most of my friends are girls.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Like, in primary, I used to get judged a lot by people.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Like, say, "Oh, like you're this, you're that, you're this
0:12:31 > 0:12:35"cos you're going around with girls", but I'm not really bothered.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38There's a girl called Olivia in my form.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40She's constantly happy.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43She's, like, never sad, and we get on really well.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44We met this year,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48and already I feel like we're becoming really close friends.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49We just kind of get along.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Today, Miss Ahmed's a big announcement to make
0:12:55 > 0:12:57to Roman and his class.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Morning, year 7. - ALL:- Morning.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09What I'm here for today is I'm looking for two ambassadors
0:13:09 > 0:13:10to take to Kenya.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12EXCLAIMING
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Who would like to go?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Kenya?!- Oh, my God. Really?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Right, you'll be working with a charity.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- Is Kenya in Europe.- No. It's Africa. Africa.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28That's a long way to travel, babe.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Kenya. It's like so far away.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's like on a completely different continent.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It's really exciting because it's the opportunity of a lifetime.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Does Kenya have a beach?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I hope it has a beach.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Our two Year 7 ambassadors will need to be ready
0:13:42 > 0:13:45for the experience, and on top of their game.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46For the next two weeks,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49there'll be a whole group of us watching you lot.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Please be on your best behaviour and I shall see you soon.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55See you in Kenya! Cos I know I'm going.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Back to our teachers on report,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04learning to rap to raise money for the Kenyan school.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Hi, sir.- We want you to rap. - It's for charity, sir.- For charity?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- It's for charity.- OK. Cool.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12But I warn you, I'm really bad at rapping.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Kayden, you've got to imagine, you're my audience, my fans.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yeah? Come on, give me a beat, then, give me a beat.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20JAVONTE BEAT-BOXES
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Go.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- HE RAPS:- # I'm new to the school I'm an NQT
0:14:25 > 0:14:27# That's not a rap name That's what they call me
0:14:27 > 0:14:30# I wear a white coat I work in my lab
0:14:30 > 0:14:32# Experiment safely Dissect on a slab
0:14:32 > 0:14:35# A flash, a bang Science don't bore
0:14:35 > 0:14:38# It's just my name Sure, Mr Shaw. #
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Boom!- Boom! Mic drop.- Really good.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44The best thing about Mr Shaw's rap,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47was the fact that he wanted to have a laugh with it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48We're going to see a new side of you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50A new side of me?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Yeah, cos you're not always, like,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53down with this rap stuff, and like...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I'm always down with this rap stuff.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I've just got to hold it in sometimes!
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- The next teacher we have got to teach is Mr Jones.- Mr Jones.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- The head teacher.- Yep.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07We're going to end up with detention after this!
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Yeah, probably.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11So I think it's going to be good cos you have a very deep voice.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14My voice is, like, very drone-y.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Is it not a bit boring for rapping? - No.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I was nervous, because I weren't doing much of me homework
0:15:19 > 0:15:21and I thought he were going to bring that up.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Would you mind saying the word homies?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Homies? I think homies is pretty cool, I think, these days,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30that's fine. Is there a tune?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Yeah, I'm the tune.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33OK, let's get this...
0:15:33 > 0:15:34JAVONTE BEAT-BOXES
0:15:36 > 0:15:38# I'm the main man here at FPA
0:15:38 > 0:15:40# Welcome to Our School, everyday... #
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Am I doing it a bit too much? Is that? Or are you OK like this?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- You're fine. - Yeah, we'll just go with it!
0:15:45 > 0:15:47# You'll see me around when I'm out on patrol
0:15:47 > 0:15:49# It's a serious business It's not just a stroll
0:15:49 > 0:15:51# You'll meet lots of homies when you start here
0:15:51 > 0:15:54# Head down, work hard Make it your year! #
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Yeah!
0:15:55 > 0:15:56He has a good voice, like, to rap,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00but he's not actually fit out for that kind of thing.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Is that a legitimate move?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Erm... Not really. If you want it to be.- Not really!
0:16:04 > 0:16:05MR JONES LAUGHS
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Over the last few days, staff have been watching our Year 7 students...
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I'm just sending young Josh, who seems to be devoid of tie or blazer,
0:16:17 > 0:16:18to see you. Cheers.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21..and have come up with a short list of who they think might have
0:16:21 > 0:16:25what it takes to become a school ambassador and travel to Kenya.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27They are...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Abdul,
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Olivia,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Roman,
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Jennaia,
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Ewan,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Morgan,
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Ibraheem
0:16:37 > 0:16:38and Fareed.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42They're all going to have to pitch for their chance to go.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I think it will be really hard for me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Think about what they have to do just living in the heat.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I've heard that they don't even have proper water supplies.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I know how to be grateful.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58We would die from not having internet for 30 minutes,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00they don't have electricity or anything.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I would miss England, the school, my family.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08While the eight finalists put the finishing touches to their speeches,
0:17:08 > 0:17:12what other thoughts do Year 7 have on Africa?
0:17:12 > 0:17:13BUZZING
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Africa is a continent.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- It is.- Is that it? Is that all you know?- Yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Madagascar is part of Africa.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'd be happy to live in Africa, cos there might be a chance
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'd be able to get a pet lion.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Not in England, though.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37# Africa Tsamina mina eh eh. #
0:17:37 > 0:17:38You know that song?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42The sand is actually like so hot that it can melt things.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44HE SINGS CIRCLE OF LIFE OPENING
0:17:44 > 0:17:45No!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Cave men descended from there,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56so everybody in the world is African.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Africa is nowt like Sheffield.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Can I get this right?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'm part German, part Irish and part English,
0:18:05 > 0:18:09but I have the smallest bit of Africa in me?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13We'll leave Aaron with that thought,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16because our Kenya finalists are ready with their speeches.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Right. Ready to shine now, guys.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So you can pretend you're on X Factor.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Each of the contenders will face a panel of judges
0:18:26 > 0:18:29from the school, the charity and CBBC.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I was, like, really nervous when, like, all the people came in.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Especially the head teacher. - Yeah, the head teacher.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38First up...is Morgan.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Come on down, Morgan.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46I felt nervous cos the first person to do it. It was kind of scary.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I think that I should go to Kenya because my dad was in the army
0:18:49 > 0:18:51and he did his army training there
0:18:51 > 0:18:53and I really want to follow in his footsteps.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58I want to go to Kenya because I've never travelled on a plane before
0:18:58 > 0:19:01and I would call it a travel bug.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I take so many things for granted like water, food,
0:19:04 > 0:19:05sleep health and electricity.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08It would be so hard for me and it would be a challenge,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10but I'm willing to take that challenge.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I would also like to be chosen so that in the future
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I can research and make their lives better.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I'd like to give them an opportunity to hear about my life in England
0:19:18 > 0:19:20and what we do at school.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I want to know how they feel without getting clean water,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26without getting fed every day.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27I would really like to go to Kenya,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29so I can learn all about their culture.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Going to Kenya would really help me open my eyes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I know it's a long shot but I would really like to go with Roman.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Me and Roman have become really close friends
0:19:36 > 0:19:39and we would really like to share this experience with each other.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Thank you for listening.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I think there were like a few things that I messed up on,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- cos, like, I stutter a little bit. - Like talking really fast.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Yeah, I talk really fast. - I talked so fast.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Right, then, folks, we're going to make some dreams here.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57We've got to - eight students.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59We've got to choose two of them to be ambassadors.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I spent ages thinking of that speech I did,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04so hopefully I will get chosen.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07She's a very strong ambassador of the form.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10She's a hard-working, mature young lady.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12If I got it, I'd feel really happy,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16because I'd be able to prove that I'm brave enough
0:20:16 > 0:20:18to go to a different country.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19She's very helpful.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21She's always ready to give everything a go.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I felt proud of what I've done.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28I hope that'll take the judges thinking about me.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30He clearly did some research, he took it seriously.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I believe he's got a good heart. His morals are in the right place.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I'd be really, really happy if I got picked.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37He's always willing to talk.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41He's always able to explain how he thinks and what he's feeling.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I've the smallest feeling that I'm going to go.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Just that look from Mr Jones.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47He just winked at me.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51It's interesting, listening to your discussion,
0:20:51 > 0:20:56there seem to be two stronger ambassadors
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and we should choose based on the two strongest ambassadors.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Hmm, it's a tough decision but not nearly as tough
0:21:05 > 0:21:07as the job Javonte and Kayden face.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09We want you to do a rap.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10- A rap?- Yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Blimey, as in like a chicken wrap?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- So this is what I've got to do? - Yeah.- Yep.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16JAVONTE BEAT-BOXES
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'll give myself a count in.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22# Mr Web, hands up, here's a question
0:21:22 > 0:21:23# I'm looking at you... #
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Mr Web... Oh, Mr Web.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29# To save a green planet it means so much to me
0:21:29 > 0:21:33# The world is my subject, BIG-UP, geography. #
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Mm-mm-mm.- Not great.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37He was a tough one.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41While the teachers brush up on their rapping skills,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Roman's collecting money for his head shave.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Are you going to sponsor me for my head shave.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47He's having his hair shaved tomorrow morning.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50And finally, it's my turn to show them how it's done.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51- What this?- It's a rap.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54It's rap? Do I look like rapper?
0:21:54 > 0:21:55You can wear me cap if you want.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Can I? Let me wear your cap.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Sponsor me!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Hand sign?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Lean, hat.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Not too lean...- Not like this?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You look like you're going to float down.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Are you going to sponsor me any money for me head shave?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15JAVONTE BEAT-BOXES
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I've forgot the first line.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Are we ready for tomorrow, then? - Yeah.- I'm bringing in the money.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Can you sponsor me? - Of course I'm going to sponsor you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Of course I'm going to sponsor you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28# Straighten your tie and tuck in your shirt
0:22:28 > 0:22:30# Mess is my business It don't have to hurt
0:22:30 > 0:22:32# I got your number you can add or subtract
0:22:32 > 0:22:33# Multiply, divide
0:22:33 > 0:22:35# You got it It's cracked.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37# Rap is a word But for me it's a figure
0:22:37 > 0:22:39# Get your songs right and your brain gets bigger. #
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Yeah!- Yes!- Got it!- Finally. - Yeah!
0:22:45 > 0:22:47VOICEOVER: Yes, nailed it!
0:22:49 > 0:22:52In assembly, Miss Ahmed is about to reveal
0:22:52 > 0:22:54who is going to Kenya to visit the school
0:22:54 > 0:22:56for which Year 7 have been raising money.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Right it was really difficult to decide
0:22:59 > 0:23:02which two ambassadors that we were going to take with us.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06There was eight students in total. They did extremely well.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10It was very, very difficult to decide who we were going to take.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12So, without further ado,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16I'd like to announce there's two students from Firth Park
0:23:16 > 0:23:19who will be representing us in Kenya.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Can we please have a big round of applause for...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29..Olivia and Roman.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34We're going to Kenya!
0:23:34 > 0:23:38I feel like the luckiest person in the world.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Well done.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Well done, Roman. Well done.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44SHE SINGS CIRCLE OF LIFE OPENING
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Being selected from 270 pupils was a really emotional experience for me.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I feel like it's a lifetime experience,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02because not many people get to go to Kenya and work for a charity.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I am excited.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08So, there we are, our two ambassadors, heading to Kenya.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Although, before they go,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15one of them has important business to attend to.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Roman, are you excited to have your hair shaved off?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It will feel so weird. It's going to feel so cold as well.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25There's no backing out now.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32The crowds are gathering.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34The stage is set.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36But has Roman got what it takes?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38I'm scared.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43All right. Morning, Year 7. Today's assembly is a special one.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Well, Roman, do you want to come down?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46A round of applause for Roman, please.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48CHEERING
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Shake my hand. Take a seat there.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57If we can talk and work at the same time...
0:24:57 > 0:24:59LAUGHTER
0:25:01 > 0:25:02APPLAUSE
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Let's start giving him a nice '60s fringe.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Oh, I knew Mr Shabir shouldn't have been trusted with those scissors.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21He was so brave.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23He didn't care what people think.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Some people are mean and say stuff like that,
0:25:25 > 0:25:26but he didn't care, he just did it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37Mr Shabir had never done anybody's hair before. Roman trusted him.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I wouldn't trust him. No way.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Shall we go down the middle?!
0:25:41 > 0:25:43CHEERING
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Three, two, one!
0:25:58 > 0:26:00EXCLAIMING
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- CHANTING:- Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman!
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- BOTH:- Roman! Roman! Roman!
0:26:26 > 0:26:30CHANTING CONTINUES
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Very brave. I would never sacrifice my hair.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Never.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Never.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Very brave as well to let a teacher do it
0:26:38 > 0:26:41in front of so many students.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43A round of applause for Roman, please!
0:26:43 > 0:26:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I just want to say, if someone's prepared to have a haircut
0:26:52 > 0:26:55as bad as this one, then they deserve this sponsorship.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Thank you.- Well done. Give him another clap.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02In the end, Mr Jones came up to us and he gave me £20
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- to put in the charity box. - Nice.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- There's a tenner coming your way. - Thank you.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's good because I did it for a good cause and a charity
0:27:11 > 0:27:13and I've raised, like, a lot of money.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's like, a good feeling.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19And even better, then he and Olivia get to visit Africa
0:27:19 > 0:27:22to see where all the sponsorship money go.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27We're representing Firth Park, which is still kind of cool.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Ten out of ten, I'm really excited.
