0:01:37 > 0:01:41I apologise. Alojz, Abdul, Nimra, Salma.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43When you start secondary school,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47making new friends can be a bit of the nerve-racking experience.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Mr Shabir has come up with a game to help some of the students get to
0:01:50 > 0:01:52know each other a little better.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We're going to take part in an activity called speed-friending.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58We're going to have a minute and a half, and I'll time.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00You're going to speak to one another until...
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- One, two, three...- Tell the other person about yourself.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Communication is key.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Listening and talking.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11For example, my name is Mr Shabir.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I am a teacher - sometimes, and I'm a father -
0:02:14 > 0:02:17all the time. I also like to go for walks.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18I like most sports.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Do you have a dog, Sir?- But I'm rubbish at swimming.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I do not like animals.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I was attacked by a dog when I was 11.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25LAUGHTER
0:02:27 > 0:02:29And I'm allergic to cats.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30I have...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32ALOJZ INTERRUPTS
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Can you see? Some of the information you didn't know before.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36So I'm sharing information about myself.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40But a minute and a half, you talk to one another.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Three...- ..two, one.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44HE PARPS
0:02:44 > 0:02:46LAUGHTER
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Talk!- OK, I'm going first.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50That wasn't real.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Talk to one another.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55OK. Hi, I'm... My name's Nimra. I like playing football and netball.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I'm from Pakistan, but my mum lives in England.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00She's from Pakistan and my dad's from Pakistan
0:03:00 > 0:03:01and he was born in Pakistan.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Nimra were going really fast.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I know it's called speed-friending but it was scaring me.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- And I...- Too much information, calm down, I'm trying to take it all in.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14You're like, "I like football, I like netball,
0:03:14 > 0:03:15"I like this, I like that."
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I can't take it all in.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Nimra, I think really enjoyed it.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21She had lots to say, as she always does.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24That's Nimra. And she was speaking at 112mph.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, I'm sorry!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I have, like, a lot to talk about myself, so, like,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I try to tell everyone in one go.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Next up, Abdul.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34I like pizza, I like...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I know! You've told me all this.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I know, I know, I know, I know.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Cut to the chase!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Abdul, he shot it out of the park by going really fast.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Aaron's in the hot seat now.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Go on, then. Oh, my...
0:03:48 > 0:03:51You're talking too much. I can't take it all in.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Oh, my gosh!- Why aren't you talking?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54- Hurry up!- Exactly. Talk!
0:03:54 > 0:03:5730 seconds.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I want a snake, but my mum's tight, so she won't let me.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I want to dye my hair, but my mum won't let me.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- What colour?- Pink.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Pink.- To make people laugh.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Nimra's next speed friend is Alojz.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15His first language is Slovak, so if Aaron had problems...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Erm, eh... My favourite animal is...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21HE LAUGHS
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What are you finding funny?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24- Exactly.- She's rapping!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27She's rapping? Are you a rapper?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Everyone I've ever met, like, I've made friends with.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well...
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Most of the time, and everyone, like, things of me as a happy,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40nice person. My favourite animal's a cheetah and...
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- ..erm.- Erm.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I'm small and I look like I'm five years old and...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Alojz founded it really difficult to understand and keep up with the pace
0:04:48 > 0:04:50that Nimra was going at.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53He kept smiling and pretending that he knew what she
0:04:53 > 0:04:56was saying, but I don't think he knew exactly what was going on.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'm from Sheffield in England, where are you from?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Slovakia and England.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Slovakia? What place in Slovakia?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Do you know?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Spisska.- Spisska.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- MIMICS ACCENT:- Spisska.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Here at Our School, our motto is strength and diversity and
0:05:17 > 0:05:20between them, our students and their families come from 47 different
0:05:20 > 0:05:24countries and speak 32 different languages.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Alojz and his family are originally from Slovakia, in Eastern Europe.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35They moved to the UK when Alojz was four.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40This is my little brother and he's seven years old, his name's Alex.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45This is my twin brothers, Kevin and Anton, and they are nine years old.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49And this is my mum - and she's 31.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53This is my dad - and he's 30 years old.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55This is a Slovakian meal.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Dad calls this...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58HE SPEAKS SLOVAK
0:05:58 > 0:06:00..in our language and it tastes very well and is so
0:06:00 > 0:06:02delicious food.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Slovakian food is a lot of meat.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I like it because it looks delicious.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I care about my family because my family is important because they
0:06:12 > 0:06:13look after me.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16MUSIC PLAYS
0:06:18 > 0:06:21In Slovakia, you wouldn't dance like in England.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27Outside, they put a big speaker, they put music on and they dance.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32When my family dance, I like it because we enjoy it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38My speak English is good, biggest challenge is reading.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Hello.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Good morning, Mrs...
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Senorita Hammond.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Excellent.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Language teacher Miss Hammond helps out Alojz with his English.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Today, we're just going to do a little bit of a test,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54just to see what you find hard and what you don't,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57so we can help you with it. All right?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Can you point to the letter O for me?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Beautiful. R.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- No, on this one.- On this one?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08R. Here.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- There we go.- Easy as pie.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Easy as pie!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13I'm glad. I'm pleased.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16He's got a really good sense of humour, to start with.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19But also, it shows that he's really determined.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21He really wants to improve his reading.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I mean, he was the one that came to me and said,
0:07:23 > 0:07:24"Can you help me with my reading."
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Why do you want to learn to read?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Because if I go to college, if I don't know how to read,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I can't know what anyone is saying and I can't read.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Yeah, true. What do you want to do at college?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Mechanic. If I don't get to be a mechanic, I
0:07:38 > 0:07:39will be the boss of the cars.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41You're going to be a boss?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Are you?- Yeah. Either boss of businessmen.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I can imagine you as a businessman, Alojz.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49She's a lovely teacher.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54She's clever and I like her because she helps people.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Thank you, Miss, to learn me how to write spelling and to read.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01You're very welcome. That's my job.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05He also get extra support in class from his friend, Finley.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Do you need a pencil?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Finley is a good man,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14he helps me when I'm stuck and he helps other people,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18not only me and that's why I like him.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I like him because he's a good friend.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Finley and Alojz have known each other since primary school and
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Finley has always been there to lend a helping hand.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Break it up, what does that one say?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31In - sert.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Insert.- Good boy, excellent.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I live with my mum, my dad, my sister.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44This is my dog. He's a Patterdale Terrier and he's really funny.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Go fetch it!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I enjoy biking with my dad because it's fun,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53it's active and it's really good.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58My dad is right good at it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04I'd say my personality was a bit cheeky and a bit funny.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09This is my prank box and inside it I've got some pretend poo,
0:09:09 > 0:09:14which I put down on the floor to pretend that Otis has pooped.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16What is that?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18This one is
0:09:18 > 0:09:22really funny. So all you do is this.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Make sure you put it in before you go and do it to someone.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Do this. Achoo!
0:09:28 > 0:09:29And it looks like snot!
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Back in English...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Are you going to draw some hair on your humans?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39..Finley's helping Alojz again.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43And Miss Tomlinson has an unusual way of showing her appreciation.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Dressing him up as herself.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49She's just given me this.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51She's a bit crazy, isn't she?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Seeing Finley helping Alojz and
0:09:53 > 0:09:56spelling things out and sounding them.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00He's bright and he's confident and he's got that natural ability to
0:10:00 > 0:10:02take a lead.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Teacher in the making, that young man.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09This one's going straight to Mr Shabir for assembly on Friday.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11CHEERING
0:10:16 > 0:10:20In art, Mr Tipping has got a surprise for his class.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23A whole room full of professional-looking art equipment
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and more blank canvases than you can shake a paintbrush at.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31In their last lesson, they were set an exciting new project.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34The art selfie.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36What did you make of these canvasses, then?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Looking like this. Anyone seen an easel before?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Put your hand up.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Yeah. I've seen them in French movies.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You've seen them in French movies.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48This is going to be the portrait of all portraits.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Alojz, this is going to be amazing.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The challenge now is to fill this enormous space -
0:10:54 > 0:10:56with their face.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Maybe Nimra, because she's fed up of people looking at her and saying,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02"You're small, aren't you?"
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Maybe, maybe she's going to do herself giant,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07so she fills the whole page.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I've got something to show you because I've been
0:11:10 > 0:11:13practising my skills. Are we ready?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15ALL: Oh!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh, my gosh, it was right good.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23When I was doing this piece of work, I thought,
0:11:23 > 0:11:24"How am I feeling right now?"
0:11:24 > 0:11:26And you know what? I was a bit stressed.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I didn't have much time to do it and I was thinking,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31"What are the emotions that those colours convey?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And it was a little bit sad or down, yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35So that's why I picked those colours.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm going to be honest. It was good,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39but I think he used a bit too much yellow.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42With the help of a mirror,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45so Year Seven can really scrutinise their reflection,
0:11:45 > 0:11:46the project gets underway.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Nimra, you're making yourself look small.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I thought you were going to be a giant.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I need a rubber!- However you want.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Right, you tell me when it's right.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Is this how you did yours?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Uh-huh.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Erm, your eyes
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Have you thought about other things that you want to put into it yet?
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Do you know what...?- I want people
0:12:09 > 0:12:12to look at it and read my personality.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Yes. Because there's more to you...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Yeah.- ..than your size.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Yeah.- Yeah. High five.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Brilliant idea.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33When you start in Year Seven,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35there's loads of new things to remember.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39But one thing doesn't change, you've got to get there on time.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44And some students are better at that than others.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46So late, my watch has fallen off.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah, because I missed the bus.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51He's always late. He's late to bed, he's late for breakfast,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55he's late for the bus, he's late for school, late for lessons.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Every morning, you're coming late and now...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Who? Your dog ate your timetable?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03No. I got a rip.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I got a rip.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14What's the difference?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Squished up.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- They look the same.- Yeah, I know.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23But this is tissue and this is very important.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I know, I folded it in, like, half.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I put it in my bag then.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I got a rip.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35It's like a treasure map.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38This has seen better days.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I think it's hard to read.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Have to put it in the bin. Finished.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I want to change because I don't want to get late for my lessons,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50for my dinner, for my breakfast, or something like that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53And I want to change and to be on time.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55On time for everything.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Many students come from the same street, area, where you live.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Yeah.- And they managed to get here to school.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- They'll be in school eight o'clock. - Because they wake up...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Early.- Early.- And what time do you wake up?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I wake up eight o'clock, I dress up quickly,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- do my hair, come by bus. - You do your hair?- Yeah.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I didn't make it today because...
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Don't worry, I have product here.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Here. Gel. Give me your hand.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- No, I don't need to.- Do your hair.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Why? I've got gel, plenty at home.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25But you haven't done... You were in a rush.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- I don't care.- Are you sure? Alojz, are you sure?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Yeah.- What else would you like?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Put some perfume...?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Why have you got perfume on you?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34It's good. Put perfume...
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- There's your timetable.- Where's your planner?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Where's your planner?- I left it in my bag.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- Where's your bag?- At home.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45- Dear me.- Where's your lesson now?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48S26.
0:14:48 > 0:14:55I'm ringing now. I will say, "Miss, Alojz will be there in 22 seconds."
0:14:55 > 0:14:58How can I get there in 22 seconds?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Three, two...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Hi, Miss, Alojz should be on his way now, Miss, he's late.
0:15:03 > 0:15:0622 seconds. 22 seconds, three, two, go!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Quick, quick, quick...- 13, 14.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Thing is, it's not just getting to school on time.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Once you're here, you really do need to focus.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Can you stop tapping? - My hands are very tappery.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Alojz, stop tapping.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Can you see - I'm tapping my hands here?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- It's annoying.- It's not just tapping,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Alojz can find many uses for his pen.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And his paper.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37If he's going to fidget, he needs to
0:15:37 > 0:15:41get something silent that he could fidget with.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Sometimes in class, I get disgusted by myself.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47HE WAILS
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Chicken and chips...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So, you like chicken and chips, then, Alojz?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54No, I wasn't talking about chicken and chips.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I was talking about ships.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Chicka, chick. Chicka, chicka, chicka...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Ships, chips, either way, it's really annoying.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05HE WAILS
0:16:05 > 0:16:07HE TAPS LOUDLY
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Stop tapping, Alojz.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12No, seriously. Stop tapping.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15What else were you doing today?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17TEACHER TAPS
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Tapping.- Tapping, yeah, that was really annoying, that.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK. Do you know what I do, Alojz?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I play the drums. Yeah, so when I'm sitting at home...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28In fact, tonight, when I'm going practising with my band, you know,
0:16:28 > 0:16:29I'll be doing lots of tapping.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31On all sorts of different things.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Can you do drums?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Yeah. That's what I do, play the drums.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42OK, so that means when I was at school,
0:16:42 > 0:16:43all I did in lessons was I'd sit
0:16:43 > 0:16:45there and annoy my teachers like this.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And I got told off.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50And did I do it after I got told off, what do you think?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- I think so, yes.- You think I carried on?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Yes.- No.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57That's why I'm here now as your teacher. Yeah?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02So what other habits do our Year Sevens find irritating?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Farting in lessons.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I've done it a couple of times.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10LAUGHTER
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- HE PARPS - Butt poisoning.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14What drives me mad is, do you know leather?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Where you... And, like, jeans?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20You know when you rub your nails down them, it goes through me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21When people go...
0:17:21 > 0:17:22SHE SLURPS AND CHOMPS
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Oh, it's disgusting!
0:17:24 > 0:17:26They eat so noisily.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28HE CHOMPS
0:17:28 > 0:17:31THEY CHOMP
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Bad breath. People picking their noses and eating it,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35which is disgusting.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- BOTH:- Eugh!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39You can't help it if there's a bogey coming out your nose.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh, look at this bogey!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Oh, nice!- I bite my nails sometimes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47OK. Ewan!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I used to do that all the time.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You could have, like, poo under your fingernails or something.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Humming. It's like...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57HE HUMS
0:17:57 > 0:17:58It's so annoying.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I feel my eyelashes and then I pull them out.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03It's weird.
0:18:03 > 0:18:10HE HUMS
0:18:10 > 0:18:12CONTINUES HUMMING
0:18:12 > 0:18:16LAUGHTER
0:18:16 > 0:18:17That were good, that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23As a thank you for all his help,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Alojz has invited Finley back home for some tea.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29So, everything you have is Slovakian?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Yeah.- Mm. Looks delicious.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33What do you think, Finley?
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Mm, That's a bit...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Different to the meat.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Have you ever tried cabbage?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Yeah.- It tastes like that a bit.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46The meat comes from that one.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You're a really, really good cook.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Next on the menu, it's Alojz's turn to teach Finley a new skill.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Finley, I'm going to teach you some different dancing.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Stretch your legs.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Bend a little bit.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Pull your knees. To the left one.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09And always, when you do it, count to four.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10One, two, three, four.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15So, that one, pull it forward.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18In the next one, pull it forward.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20You need to put some more effort inside, like...
0:19:27 > 0:19:30So, how long have you been practising this for?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33When I was three years old, I knew how to do this.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36You were three years old when you knew that?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I didn't know how to do, like...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It was hard to... My hands.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It took about three years to do my hands.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Year Seven have been working hard on their masterpieces,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54and most of them look like they're nearly done.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Oh, yes, look at that.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- That's beautiful.- It's only Abdul
0:19:58 > 0:20:01who seems to be lagging a bit behind.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03What do you think your problem was?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04- I was a bit too slow.- Yeah.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- You were.- But good artists take their time.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Oh, you see, that's every artist's excuse.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Well, apparently took Leonardo da Vinci over 12 years just to paint
0:20:13 > 0:20:15the Mona Lisa's lips.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16So there's no rush.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21You painted yourself with an abnormally-sized head.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I've got quite a big head.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I've got a really big mouth.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's huge in comparison to your body, why's that?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Because I wanted to look exactly like myself.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I've got pretty much big everything.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I've got, like, big ears,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I've got very long hair, even though they just grow back up to my
0:20:39 > 0:20:42previous haircut. I've got quite a small nose.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Brown eyes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I like how I look.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48The self-portraits are all looking amazing.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51That's probably one of the best paintings I've ever done,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54but Mr Tipping is particularly impressed with Alojz's.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58This is so cool, I'm absolutely loving how expressive it is.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01What you've done is similar to what I've done on mine,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03you've not necessarily gone for the actual colour,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06but you've looked for all the individual colours and exaggerated them.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Do you know? There's a lot of people who would pay a lot of money for
0:21:09 > 0:21:12this. He messed around with the brush strokes, he had thin lines,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15thick lines, he started to scratch into the paint.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18He took on what my instructions were and made it his own.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I was very proud of his work, actually.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Guys, give him a round of applause for that, come on.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24- Very good.- Well done, Alojz.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34With all the art-selfies finished,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Mr Tipping has put them on display in the school hall.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40And has come up with a challenge to show off just how good they are.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But Year Seven are looking very nervous about it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48OK, I'm seeing a lot of sad faces.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51You should have happy faces, exactly, cos these...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54This work is absolutely fantastic.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58What I'm going to give is a task to two other students.
0:21:58 > 0:22:05They are going to try their best to match all of you with the pictures.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08The two students doing the matching are George
0:22:08 > 0:22:14and Olivia. Will they be able to match the portrait with the artist?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16The pressure's on.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Salma, yeah.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19- Who's that by?- Yes, that one there.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Chloe.- We want to put you...
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Is it that one or the one next to it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Oh, that one.- That one, OK.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Next is Ella.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Ella.- Yeah, we're going to go for the one in the middle, with the
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- flower filter.- With the flowers.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Yeah. 'Some of them, though, were very obvious.'
0:22:40 > 0:22:42So, who's next?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Finley. Finley, your... You...
0:22:43 > 0:22:46The one with the big, like, quiff thing.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Yeah, big quiff!
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Yeah. Then a lot of them were a lot like... With the fiery hair.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54- Nimra.- Nimra, the one at the end.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- The one on the end.- Nimra's portrait was actually cute, for one reason.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- She was like small.- Everybody else uses the whole portrait,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- she used, like...- Like, half the portrait.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Yeah.- She had like... She had, like, up to her waist in it, as well,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- so I was like...- Life-size.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12So far, George and Olivia have got them all right.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17With just two more to go, are they going to get full marks?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19This is so hard.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- OK, Who are you going to go for? - Michael...- Next to Morgan.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Michael, next to Morgan.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Which leaves Alojz.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32- So this one...- Amazing, top marks for a really talented bunch.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37The biggest challenge Year Sevens face is - "I can't paint".
0:23:37 > 0:23:39And that is just simply not true.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Give them a round of applause, I mean, that is amazing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46We're all made to be creative and I want them to know that.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53As well as making good progress with his art,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Alojz has been busy making lots of new friends.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Keen to show them some Slovakian culture,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02he's invited Aaron and Michael to his local dance group.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Whoa!
0:24:03 > 0:24:05SLOVAKIAN MUSIC PLAYS
0:24:09 > 0:24:13When I went in, it was breathtaking cos they're all using the bells on
0:24:13 > 0:24:17their dresses and when they were chiming together they sounded like
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- really big bells.- Did you see that ball on it?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Yeah, there were... Some of the big ones, weren't they?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26It looks like a hard dance to master, though,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28doesn't it? Are these all professional dancers, then?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31They've been doing this all their lives?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's interesting though cos you
0:24:33 > 0:24:35don't normally see dancers like this.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Could they show us some of the moves of the dance, please?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50- Shall we join in?- Go on, then.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56When they were all moving, it were, like, synchronised.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58It is a bit like the Mexican wave.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Like that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's so confusing!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05It were really hard, but as I got into it,
0:25:05 > 0:25:10I started realising there's always a pattern to everything and I realised
0:25:10 > 0:25:14it's like tap-tap, tap-tap, clap and then slap.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Even though I was nervous, and scared and terrified,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I still gave it a go.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27According to Alojz, there's also meaning behind all of the vibrant
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- dress colours.- If you've got red, then you know everything.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34If you've got yellow, you know a little bit.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Orange, a much little bit.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39But all of the...
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Like, blue,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42not quite.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- So red is like a black belt in karate?- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52The girl just next to me just plonked a hat on my head.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I was, like, "Where did she get that hat from?"
0:25:55 > 0:25:58She just pulled it from the back of us and was like, "Hat!"
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Aaron dancing, he was so amazing.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08I was so proud of him because he was jumping, just getting on, brave...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15What colour would I be?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Probably red.- Red?- Yeah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Really?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21You're joking. Really?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Yeah.- Thank you.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I'd rate you as a red, as well.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26I am a red.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31In the end, they all gave me high fives.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36I was really scared because about 20 people just went, "High five!"
0:26:36 > 0:26:39How important is dance to you?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Because we are dancers and we like to dance, so...
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Dance is important to us because, like, what's the point of, like...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Going home and watching TV or something like that?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So on Saturday, we come and we go to...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Training and we go to festivals.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Training and we go to festivals and we love it.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Can you all dab?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- ALL:- Yeah. Yes!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Can you dab?- Nice!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Very nice!
