0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today in Our School, all is not as it should be.

0:00:06 > 0:00:10- Oh, its so scary!- Argh!

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Something is lurking in the science department...

0:00:13 > 0:00:15It's already dead, I didn't kill it.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19..something Year 7 have never seen before.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21If it comes back to life, I'm scarred for life.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Will they make it through?

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Find out in Our School.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30It's alive! It's alive!

0:00:30 > 0:00:33BELL RINGS

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Meet our new Year 7.

0:00:35 > 0:00:40- Sick bucket!- It's the most important school year of their life so far.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Haircut, sir?

0:00:42 > 0:00:44They're all starting here together.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47That level of noise is absolutely disgusting.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Argh! - SHRIEKING

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Yes!

0:00:57 > 0:00:59This has seen better days.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04You stink, sir.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09CBBC have filled the entire place with cameras,

0:01:09 > 0:01:12so you'll get to watch Year 7 every step of the way.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13- CLASS:- Oh!

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Stop waving at me.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Yeah!- Hello, I'm Mr Jones.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20I'm the maths teacher at Our School and every time that you're here,

0:01:20 > 0:01:21I'm going to be here too.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Right now, I'm late for a lesson. Excuse me.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27Come on in!

0:01:27 > 0:01:31- # Our School. # - Boom, mic drop!

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Year 7 students are all unique.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43There's no two the same.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46But there is one thing they all have in common.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Hello.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52We've got three dogs.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55This is Xena, she's four and she gives paw.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- From the cute...- I live with my dog, Tilly.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03- She's only small.- ..to the exotic and tropical...

0:02:03 > 0:02:07This one, the blue one, it's Dory.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10My favourite animal is a snake.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Pretty cool, isn't it?- Yes.

0:02:13 > 0:02:19There's no denying our Year 7s love animals.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23- High five!- She's cute.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30But Mr Shore has got news of a science lesson which might prove a

0:02:30 > 0:02:32challenge for the animal lovers.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36So, I'm going to talk to you about something, OK?

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Next lesson, we're going to do a different type of lesson, OK?

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Yeah, what do you mean? What do you mean?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'm going to get to that, OK?

0:02:45 > 0:02:48So, sometimes in science,

0:02:48 > 0:02:51in order to find out how the world works and things, OK,

0:02:51 > 0:02:55we have do particular experiments which some people don't like.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Next lesson, I'm going to be dissecting...

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- What does that mean?- Eurgh! - Er... Shhh!

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Dissecting means to cut up.- Ooh!

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Maybe pull little bits apart. But I'm going to be...

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Shhh. I'm going to be dissecting a rat.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14CLASS SCREAM

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Like, this big.- Sir.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20It's already dead, I didn't kill it. OK?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I like animals, I didn't kill it.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26So, science dissection is a pretty grown-up thing to do.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29But I really feel that this class is going to be able to handle that.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Now, I can tell by the faces of some people in the way you are reacting,

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- some people are like, "That's so cool."- PUPILS:- Yeah!

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Right? But there's also some people going, "Hmm."

0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's going to be disgusting seeing the lungs and skeleton

0:03:43 > 0:03:45and the heart and the brains.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Abdul, you're pulling a funny face.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49How are feeling about me cutting up a rat?

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Bleurgh!

0:03:52 > 0:03:56That's it. I feel OK with it.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00I love animals and I don't like to see them killed.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03And it's not just the dissection that's got Abdul thinking.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08I'm trying to decide whether I'm a carnivore or a vegetarian.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10But right now, I'm in the middle.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18So, I fancy a sandwich.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23Back home with his big sister, Aman, Abdul fancies a snack.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Well, there aren't a lot of ingredients here,

0:04:24 > 0:04:28so I'll just go with the only one that we have.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Mayonnaise. Food plays about one of the most important parts of my life.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33I eat more than anything I do.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Nah! Nah! Nah, nah, nah! My food! My food!

0:04:36 > 0:04:39My food, my everything!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42OK, I'm going to pick...

0:04:43 > 0:04:45..bread, check it!

0:04:45 > 0:04:48I have breakfast, then I have a little snack,

0:04:48 > 0:04:50then I have another little snack.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Then it's lunch. Then I have a big lunch.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Then I have another snack and then another snack. Then dinner.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Just mayonnaise.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Like, nothing in between?

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Like, no fillings or anything, just mayonnaise?

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Plain mayonnaise on bread? - Mayonnaise on TWO breads!

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Me and my entire family are, like, carnivores.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Meat eaters. And they say that I should be like them.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Why on earth do you want to be a vegetarian

0:05:21 > 0:05:25when our complete family are meat eaters?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I don't know.

0:05:27 > 0:05:33I guess sometimes I'm not really into eating animals and stuff.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36A mayo sandwich might not be the healthiest option,

0:05:36 > 0:05:38but it does count as vegetarian.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Mmm! Mmm!

0:05:42 > 0:05:47And at his dad's shop, there's lots of food perfect for a vegetarian.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Or maybe not.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53My dad is a butcher and I think it would be weird for him

0:05:53 > 0:05:56that his own son would be the opposite of his work.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Dad, what are you doing? - I'm cutting the meat.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00- Oh!- What is it?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Yeah, it's just sheep.

0:06:02 > 0:06:08Shoulder, neck, chops and the, you know, brisket.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Yum. - ABDUL RETCHES

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Seriously? It's not that bad.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Talk about slice and dice!

0:06:23 > 0:06:27I think this is helping the vegetarian side of me quite a lot.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- No, meat is good for health.- Yeah.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Abdul's got some choices to make,

0:06:36 > 0:06:38but what do the rest of Year 7 think?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I'd never become a vegetarian because I don't like veg.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43So, I'd just fail!

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Literally, the only thing I eat is pasta, so

0:06:46 > 0:06:48basically I am a vegetarian.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Chicken's so nice...- Chicken Kievs!

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Chicken and chips and doner kebab.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57I'm wanting a rice, we get chicken and rice.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Lamb chops!

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Bacon.- Oh, I hate bacon.- Bacon.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07Ten piece chicken and chips. After a bit, you get bored of it.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09The only meat I eat is chicken. I don't eat it often.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- That's not vegetarian.- Yeah, but I eat it, like, every two months.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14You're still eating it, though.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19I don't eat chicken a lot, so basically, I'm a vegetarian.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Right, someone tell me what we did yesterday.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28We're doing prime numbers...

0:07:28 > 0:07:30..and factors. What's a prime number?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Morgan?- You can only divide by itself and one.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Yes, perfect.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38A prime number is a number that has only two factors.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Sheets at the back, carry on from where you left off,

0:07:40 > 0:07:43apart from Morgan. Morgan!

0:07:43 > 0:07:44As a maths teacher, it's really

0:07:44 > 0:07:47important for me to challenge Year 7.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50And I think Morgan can handle something even more complicated.

0:07:50 > 0:07:55What's the highest common factor in both of those?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Do it. How do you do it?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Four...12...

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I think that maths is one of my favourite subjects

0:08:03 > 0:08:06because mum's an accountant, so, she's always, like,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09giving me sums and things like that and helping me.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13- What's that? - The highest common factor.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Are you telling me the biggest number that goes into 16 and 24

0:08:16 > 0:08:17- is...- Eight.- Eight. It is eight.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Is it?- It is eight. - I worked out the formula.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Right, take a whiteboard, go and teach those two how to do it.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27I'm in big school now, I need to get my head down,

0:08:27 > 0:08:30just put that extra mile in.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33So, what is the smallest prime factor?

0:08:33 > 0:08:34She's brilliant at maths.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37And look, she's even got a Blue Peter badge!

0:08:37 > 0:08:41There's not many kids can say, "Oh, yeah, I've got a Blue Peter badge."

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Like, I'm always looking for something to do.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I'm always looking for an extra challenge.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48BELL RINGS

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Right, let's settle down quickly, please!

0:08:54 > 0:08:57At the beginning of each year, form groups are asked

0:08:57 > 0:08:58to vote for a leader.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Monday, we spoke about form leaders, OK?

0:09:01 > 0:09:06So, it's about people picking someone who wants to represent 7C.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08So, put your hand up if you think

0:09:08 > 0:09:11you'd like to try and go for form...

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Wow, loads of you!

0:09:13 > 0:09:19You have 30 seconds to give your speech to the class.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22I think I would be a good representative

0:09:22 > 0:09:26because I think I can help people inside the classroom.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29I would like to be a form leader because I'm a good helper.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32In my old primary, I usually do jobs every lunch time,

0:09:32 > 0:09:33morning and after school.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39A form leader is, like, a really good opportunity

0:09:39 > 0:09:41because you need to make friends,

0:09:41 > 0:09:45and the only way is by making yourself stand out.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47I think I'd make a really good form leader

0:09:47 > 0:09:48because I like to help people

0:09:48 > 0:09:51and, like, if you've got any troubles then you can come to me.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Give her a round of applause then, guys. Well done, thank you, Morgan!

0:09:54 > 0:09:58I think that in school, I'm like a girlie girl, wearing skirts,

0:09:58 > 0:10:01wearing heels, and things like that.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05I'm just trying not to get it on my nails, out of all things.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09But then at home, I'm like, forget that, just chuck owt on.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Like, tracksuit bottoms, I don't really care

0:10:11 > 0:10:14because I'm going out into t' woods anyway.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16# We are young

0:10:16 > 0:10:18# We run free

0:10:18 > 0:10:20# Keep our teeth nice and clean

0:10:20 > 0:10:23# See our friends, see the sights

0:10:23 > 0:10:25# Feel all right. #

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Right, remember, we need to get sticks that are like, big.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Big stick. I found a stick.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34Oh, wow. We need to put that one above, don't we?

0:10:34 > 0:10:38I think that's going to be a bit too weak, don't you?

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I think I am a bit bossy.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41No, we need to go that way a bit.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45But actually, I don't really mind if people call me bossy

0:10:45 > 0:10:49because it's like a compliment, because I like taking charge.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Aaron! Start finding more twigs!

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Why are you making me do all the work?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58I am helping! I'm supervising.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'm doing all your free labour, thank you.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06Right, Aaron, put that up, like a roof, so I don't get wet.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Put it, can you put it like more to my side, though?

0:11:09 > 0:11:14Morgan is tough because if you mess with her, you'll know about it.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16You'll know if she's mad.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19It needs to come more, like, sticking out, like an actual...

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yeah, further, further.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25You could have done a tiny bit better.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Aaron knows who's boss.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37But will Morgan's classmates want her to be in charge?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39OK, I've collected all the votes in

0:11:39 > 0:11:42for your form leader nominations, OK?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Shall we have a drum roll, yeah?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Let's have a bit of a drum roll? OK. - DRUM ROLL

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Right, the winner is...

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Morgan. OK?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Stand up for me, Morgan. - APPLAUSE

0:11:54 > 0:11:57This is your form leader, this is the person you voted for

0:11:57 > 0:12:00to go to all the meetings and go and represent our form.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Well done, Morgan, OK?

0:12:02 > 0:12:03This is my time to shine.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07This is the time that I need to, like, put my head down, get on with,

0:12:07 > 0:12:11like, getting a job and things like that because I want to be, like,

0:12:11 > 0:12:13a vet, when I'm older.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Like, any opportunity I get, I like to be with animals.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22If Morgan wants to be a vet,

0:12:22 > 0:12:24this next lesson should be right up her street.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36It's dissection day.

0:12:39 > 0:12:44- Oh, it's so scary!- The Year 7s are ready to face the unknown.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51I'm going to be sick. Argh!

0:12:51 > 0:12:56So, as promised, a rat.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Now, this is going to get a bit gory.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02If that's not for you, then go and do your maths homework and come back

0:13:02 > 0:13:04when it's all over.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06This is the rat.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09- It's all flat. - It's in a vacuum pack.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11It looked like it was laminated.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13The back was flat, the belly was flat.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Literally, it was just straight, like this.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18It will make you sick.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's been kept in a liquid that's kept it preserved.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24It's a bit flat, so I'm just going to move it around a little bit.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- It does smell a little bit.- The smell, I didn't like the smell,

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- it was horrible. It's like raw fish. - No, worse!

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Right, say hello to Mr Rat.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37If it comes back to life, I'm scarred for life.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41- Eurgh!- So, we have to get this first layer of fur off, OK?

0:13:41 > 0:13:44So, I'm going to cut it just here.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46When they cut it open, I was like, kind of...

0:13:46 > 0:13:48OK, that's a bit unnerving.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50There was a layer of fur and then skin.

0:13:50 > 0:13:56- Oh!- I can't see it.- Hold on.

0:13:56 > 0:14:01I was surprised with how Mr had some skills with cutting.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Do you cut that up?- Right, there is one.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07I will hold it up. I just don't want the insides of the rat to fall out.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10I'm not opening my eyes until the end of the lesson.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Whenever I'm in a hyped mood,

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I just try and take a deep breath

0:14:15 > 0:14:16and calm down.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Abdul looked like he couldn't stand a second watching,

0:14:22 > 0:14:24looking at that rat being dissected.

0:14:26 > 0:14:32I'm going to cut up... After the stomach, that's the liver.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Dissection is really important to do in schools

0:14:35 > 0:14:39because it gives the pupils the opportunity

0:14:39 > 0:14:43to really understand sort of how bodies work, how animals work.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46The fact that we are quite similar to a lot of them inside.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49A lot of them perhaps might not get that, and so, to cut them open,

0:14:49 > 0:14:52get hands-on and see and smell it,

0:14:52 > 0:14:54it sort of really brings that to life.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I feel like I'm going to be sick. - You going to be sick?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I'm fine, I'm fine. Just a little bit, just a little bit.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- OK, all right.- Sir, he did it in our primary school

0:15:02 > 0:15:04- and our teacher screamed. - If you need to be sick,

0:15:04 > 0:15:05there's a bin just there.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08It smelt like...erm, super powerful vomit.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11And I felt like I was going to vomit and I needed fresh air.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Right, if you can open the stomach...

0:15:14 > 0:15:16No!

0:15:16 > 0:15:20- A mouse has jelly beans in his belly.- Kidneys.- Yeah.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22There were kidneys inside the rat.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24But they looked like jelly beans.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28It's not as big as that. It's like the shape of...

0:15:28 > 0:15:31When Mr Shore pulled out, like, its heart,

0:15:31 > 0:15:34it was too much for me. So, I just went to the back of the classroom.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37As much as it killed me inside, cos I didn't want to see

0:15:37 > 0:15:39the poor rat taken to pieces, I wanted to watch it

0:15:39 > 0:15:42cos it's a part of biology and I'm going to have to dissect

0:15:42 > 0:15:43something myself in the future.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46I enjoyed it, yeah. It was educational.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48RIP, rat.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Who really, really likes animals here?

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Yeah, OK?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55How does it make you feel? Like, put your hand up, tell me.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58- How does that make you feel? - Erm, it makes me feel

0:15:58 > 0:16:00sorry for the rat, but then it makes me feel glad

0:16:00 > 0:16:03that I've actually seen the guts and gore,

0:16:03 > 0:16:05because I want to do it when I'm older.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07You want to do it when you're older? That's awesome.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Even after seeing the rat, I still want to be a vet.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13I don't care. Because if you really have a passion for animals,

0:16:13 > 0:16:16you will put up with whatever you need to put up with

0:16:16 > 0:16:18in order to help them.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Talk of the dissection is buzzing around the school.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28I bet it has put you off eating, hasn't it?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31It's put me off eating. Look!

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Mr Shore wants to know how his class feel about it.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39We're going to discuss how the rat dissection

0:16:39 > 0:16:41made you feel in the last lesson, OK?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Cos sometimes in science,

0:16:43 > 0:16:47we have to do things like that to find out how the world works.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49So, you thought that it was sick.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Then I felt sick, I literally, after the thingy...

0:16:52 > 0:16:57I was OK with looking inside, it was the smell.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02Can you describe the rat dissection in three words?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Morgan?- Interesting, educational and cool.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Our Year 7s are still talking about animals

0:17:12 > 0:17:15and this lesson might just help Abdul decide

0:17:15 > 0:17:17if he wants to turn vegetarian or not.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20OK, so, if you think we all should be vegetarian, you go to this side.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23If you think we shouldn't, you go to this side.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Quietly, please, Jack. Thank you.

0:17:25 > 0:17:31Generally, quite a lot of people eat meat two or three times a day,

0:17:31 > 0:17:35sometimes people have it for breakfast, for lunch and for tea.

0:17:35 > 0:17:40Our bodies are only actually designed to eat meat twice per week.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42OK, who wants to talk to me on this side?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Erm, I picked no, everyone shouldn't be vegetarian,

0:17:45 > 0:17:47because God made those animals

0:17:47 > 0:17:51for them to be killed and for people to eat them.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- I know it's cruel, but it's really tasty.- It's cruel, but it's tasty.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57That's a really good message, I like that.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Let's go to Morgan and see what she's got to say.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03I think that we should all be vegetarian

0:18:03 > 0:18:05because animals are getting killed.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Vegetarian meat, I have it tried before.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Yeah?- And it tastes, like, OK.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12So, you could just live off that

0:18:12 > 0:18:15and then animals could, like, still be alive.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17So, let's speak to you, Ella.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Ella?- So, why were you a vegetarian at one point?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- What made you want to?- Because I felt like eating animals were, like,

0:18:22 > 0:18:25disgusting. Because they get killed for no reason.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I tried to be vegetarian for a week.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30At the end, my mum, she cooked chicken wrapped in bacon

0:18:30 > 0:18:33and I couldn't resist and I had to eat it.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, so, shhh, shhh, shhh!

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Right, Abdul, what's your point of view on this?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42So, my point of view is that if everyone eats vegetables all day,

0:18:42 > 0:18:46then they will be healthy, but they won't have a lot of proteins.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- What does eggs contain? - Protein!- Protein.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53I've been vegetarian since I was younger than all of you.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54So, I get quite a lot of my protein.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57I've been a vegetarian since I was ten.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00I'm really confused so far, because I like animals but,

0:19:00 > 0:19:02at the same time,

0:19:02 > 0:19:06like, salad and stuff, they don't taste as nice.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08So, I'm just really stuck in the middle.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Why can't I just figure it out right now?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Today, there is a year seven trip to a working farm

0:19:22 > 0:19:25where the animals aren't pets, but bred for food.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Did you know my dad was a butcher? - I didn't.- Yeah!

0:19:29 > 0:19:31And it's already on Abdul's mind.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35I mean, our freezer is filled with meat.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Maybe today will be the day.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Yeah.- When I see the animals,

0:19:39 > 0:19:42I could probably figure out what I want to be.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45A vegetarian or a non-vegetarian.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Ah, the beautiful English countryside.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55The rolling green landscapes,

0:19:55 > 0:19:58the peace and quiet and all that fresh air...

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Eurgh! They've just shovelled the poo right there!

0:20:00 > 0:20:04When we got there, it smelled like animal's dung!

0:20:04 > 0:20:07I nearly died. The smell just killed me.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08It killed me already.

0:20:08 > 0:20:13- It suffocated!- It was like, bleurgh! Bleurgh!

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Oh, the smell!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's manure!

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- I can't... - MR SHORE:- I think it smells nice.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Lovely!

0:20:23 > 0:20:26I'm originally from the country, so, for me, I actually felt like

0:20:26 > 0:20:27I was getting into the fresh air.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29But I think for a lot of them, they

0:20:29 > 0:20:32were definitely holding their noses from a long way out.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Whirlow Hall Farm.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36We're going to be working with you today

0:20:36 > 0:20:38and we've got lots of jobs for you to do.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Is anybody here feeling a bit nervous about working with any of

0:20:41 > 0:20:42- our animals?- The chickens.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44- The chickens?- I don't like chickens.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46OK, so you're a bit anxious about the chickens.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51It's perfectly normal to feel a little bit nervous about working...

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Hang on, I thought Morgan loved ALL animals.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Buck, buck, chicken!- Shut up, I don't like chickens.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Buck, ba-buck, buck, buck, chicken! I actually don't like chickens.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02CHICKEN CLUCKS

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Cluck-cluck! Pfft!

0:21:10 > 0:21:13OK, Kayden and Morgan, it's time to feed the chickens now.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15So, I've got you both a bucket of feed.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Not many people have a fear of chickens.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22I was, like, the only one on the farm that had a fear of chickens.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Are you all right, Morgan?- Yep. Good.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28But Morgan's facing up to her fears.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Don't worry.- They're all running towards me.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34I don't like it.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Oh, my gosh, they're coming near my feet.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Morgan, don't worry.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40Don't flap near me.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43I've got a fear of you, so, yeah, move.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48So, if you want, you can give her a stroke.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Just stroke her down the back of her body, like that.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- That's it.- I were really nervous at first.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58And then I started to overcome my fear as I started stroking 'em.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Kayden, you don't know how much I have faced my fears today.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02That's really good. I'm really impressed.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05It's easy, Morgan. Don't be scared.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08I just don't like them because they've got red eyes and

0:22:08 > 0:22:11they just, like, look weird and creepy.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Their eyes were black, not red.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15I saw one with red eyes.

0:22:25 > 0:22:30So, this is Angela and Angela has 12 piglets.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33So these are about a week and a half old.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38When we saw the piglets, like,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40I fell in love with them straightaway.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Look at the little baby one! That's tiny!

0:22:44 > 0:22:46It was about this big.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48It was, oh, my goodness, it was adorable.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51I want one. Look at his little bum.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59So, on our farm, we're not just about little piglets,

0:22:59 > 0:23:01we're growing pigs here for food.

0:23:01 > 0:23:08So, these pigs here are nearly ready to be sent away to be made into meat

0:23:08 > 0:23:10for us to sell in our shop.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Just think, these were once cute little piglets

0:23:14 > 0:23:17and now they're just going to be dead.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21That's the reason that our farm is here - to grow pigs

0:23:21 > 0:23:23so that we can make food for people to eat.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29It absolutely reeked in there.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31There was, like, a really bad smell,

0:23:31 > 0:23:33I think it was either the food or them.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36I just knew that if I stayed, like, a minute longer,

0:23:36 > 0:23:38I think I wouldn't make it.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Why did you want to come outside?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Because if I didn't come out, I probably would have died in there.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46There is a good reason why Muslims don't eat pigs.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47I'm a Muslim, basically.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50And Muslims don't like pigs because

0:23:50 > 0:23:52they're dirty, they're unclean, they're untidy.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56So Abdul won't eat pork.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58But what other meat can he eat?

0:23:58 > 0:24:03Cows, chicken, roast, turkey, lambs,

0:24:03 > 0:24:06everything else is on the menu.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Year seven are given the important job of weighing the sheep.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19And if the sheep are over 40 kg, they will be sent to the abattoir.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23OK, so you two are going to be in here with the sheep and you're going

0:24:23 > 0:24:26to be getting the sheep into the scales.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28- So do we kind of round them up? - Yeah.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Let's do this!- Go on, get that one.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35I don't want them to bite me.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Just push them in.- Keep going round.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42- They won't bite you.- Just get in!

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Abdul, oh, my gosh.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45Go and push that one. Push it!

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I'm just a little bit scared of pushing them.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49- They're all right.- Morgan!

0:24:49 > 0:24:53Abdul, no offence, it was pathetic.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56You can hold it like he is, put your arms around.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59Abdul were just cuddling them.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Come on! Get in there.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Come on, do it for me. Come on. Right, this one.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07And Morgan were coming in with one hand just, like,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09throwing it to the side of the pen.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11She was like a machine. She was like, "Abdul!"

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Yeah! You need to help me, Abdul.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18I keep thinking that I've hurt it and I don't like hurting animals.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20You're not hurting them!

0:25:20 > 0:25:22I tried to make sure that, like, I wasn't any harm,

0:25:22 > 0:25:24then I'd just push them and just push them!

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah, you're supposed to push them in,

0:25:27 > 0:25:30not hug them and then make Morgan do most of the work.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Get it in! Get in!

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Morgan's like, "Come on, just get in!

0:25:34 > 0:25:35"Get in!"

0:25:35 > 0:25:38- MR SHORE:- There you go.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Go, Morgan, yeah!- Well done, Morgan. - Ready?

0:25:47 > 0:25:50OK, well done, everybody. That's been absolutely brilliant.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52So, how many sheep have we got here?

0:25:52 > 0:25:55One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Brilliant, so that's ten sheep that are ready to go to the butcher's.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04- These are like, going to be dead? - Yeah.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06- MR SHORE:- I think it did set in then,

0:26:06 > 0:26:08a few of them did actually realise,

0:26:08 > 0:26:10they had this moment where they had

0:26:10 > 0:26:12actually opened or closed the gate,

0:26:12 > 0:26:16they had decided themselves whether the sheep were going to go off and

0:26:16 > 0:26:18ultimately be killed for the butcher's,

0:26:18 > 0:26:20or whether they were going to be allowed back into the field.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24But we were just like, we've just put them into death.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28And it was so sad, because knowing that they are going to go to the

0:26:28 > 0:26:29abattoir just to keep us fed.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31I felt really guilty.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35If I could, I'd have, like, let them all go.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40I don't feel right about them going to the butcher's.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42The only possible way that we can see them again

0:26:42 > 0:26:45is as chopped up lamb.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48It made me think about how I should appreciate, like, the food,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51because an animal has actually died for this.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53But I don't think it will change owt,

0:26:53 > 0:26:56because I'm going to a restaurant and

0:26:56 > 0:26:57I'm probably going to have ribs.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01So, you've not been put off eating meat then, have you, Morgan?

0:27:01 > 0:27:03What about Abdul? Have you finally made up your mind?

0:27:03 > 0:27:07Erm... Erm...

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Hmm...

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- It's decision time.- Erm...

0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Erm...- Drum roll, please!

0:27:14 > 0:27:15Erm, erm, erm, erm, erm...

0:27:18 > 0:27:20I've decided to go for non-vegetarian,

0:27:20 > 0:27:21because I do like animals,

0:27:21 > 0:27:24but I like them more when they're in my stomach.

0:27:27 > 0:27:28- Want some?- No, thanks.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Next time...- Who put the tarantula in there?

0:27:31 > 0:27:33..our students visit a job fair...

0:27:33 > 0:27:34- No, no!- ..with a difference.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36I have arachnophobia!

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Do not move your hand quickly.

0:27:38 > 0:27:42Rats only need to go, "Eek!"

0:27:42 > 0:27:44They don't need to go, "Hello, my

0:27:44 > 0:27:47"name is Kayden and I like to rap!"

0:27:47 > 0:27:48The smell of the rats

0:27:48 > 0:27:50was like from his bum!

0:27:54 > 0:27:55You got your tie wrong there.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01These are meant to be behind the collars!

0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Follow the rules!- Same with you.
