0:01:44 > 0:01:46That's my mission, to make everybody smile.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49And sometimes they can be a bit scary...
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Sit down on a chair, now!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Sorry about that, but at least I got their attention!

0:02:44 > 0:02:46"for him, because he's been brilliant!"

0:03:31 > 0:03:35I can, I can spare the five minutes. Yeah, nine o'clock. Cheers, bye.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Bye. I'm sick of the small, low-level disruption.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Giggling, talking, dabbing. I'm talking! It's a classroom!
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I think students are very clear of when they shouldn't be messing.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00lots of nice gifts and presents.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- No cheap aftershave. Bank details available. I accept cheques! - LAUGHTER
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's a bit early for Christmas lists, Mr Shabir,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09but I suppose it's always good to plan ahead.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Different teachers have different approaches to lessons.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19So, what do you think makes a good teacher, Year Seven?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22A good teacher would be someone who is kind, caring.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Someone who listens to you.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This is my favourite year group so far,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and I can tell people I'm like your school mum, aren't I?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32One at a time, please. Does anyone recognise this sauce?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35She tries to be entertaining.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37You don't want students to be sitting there, like this...
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Miss, I'm bored.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You're bored because you're being boring, Ella.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I think that what makes a good teacher is that they're,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47like, they're like a kid themselves.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Sir, what inspired you to be an
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- art teacher?- Well, I liked working with young people.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I find young people extremely annoying.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- That's because you are one, probably. - LAUGHTER
0:04:57 > 0:05:01A teacher should be firm and strong, because it's their classroom.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Now, if you don't want to learn, I accept that.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But there's the door - use it. Don't waste my time.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I wouldn't be a teacher. I'd go home. I'd quit.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Oh, I can't stand kids!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What's your three favourite teachers?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Mine's Mr Shabir, Mrs Shore and Miss...
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I forgot her name. Miss...um...

0:05:41 > 0:05:44If you have to come to see me, is it normally good or bad?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Both? I don't know.- Pleased to hear that, because I don't really
0:05:47 > 0:05:49want to be the Wicked Witch.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52She can definitely be a bit scary, though!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- What's your name?- Finlay.- Finlay, yeah. Very silly, aren't you?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You're being very silly.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00You look like a bunch of animals running around.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of her.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- You think it's funny? - Miss, I can't...- Do not talk!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08If you're being a bit, like, naughty, she will be strict,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11but I like her, she's kind.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So, she's a bit like good cop and bad cop.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Especially when she's being our school's answer to the

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I don't let anything drop, especially with uniform.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'm not happy with the fact that you think you can get away with pumps
0:06:33 > 0:06:36with glitter on that stand out.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39If I see you in them again, it'll be a detention, young lady.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Love them or hate them,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43wearing a uniform does make it easier

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Every day, before I get ready for school, I have to decide what I'm

0:07:12 > 0:07:13I have all my shirts.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17As you can see, I have quite a selection of shoes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Today, I'm going to be wearing these red ones, because my top is red and

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Sounds like you're picking on her now!

0:08:17 > 0:08:22Today, Ella's been involved in an incident with Michael and Fareed.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25She kept leaning on my table. I told her to move, she said no.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And then I moved my table back so she could leave me alone,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and then she keeps coming back.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So I get the ruler and did that to her finger.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Ella's gone to report what's happened to Miss Ahmed.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38OK, let's just unpick this.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44Right, so other students, the key ones Michael and Fareed.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I need your statement, all right?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48And I'll get those two in there to do it.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53But it's also a chance for Miss to talk about Ella's own behaviour.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57What I am concerned about is the way that you're getting involved
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- in a lot of the incidents. - I didn't even do...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03You'll be in the same lessons... If he slapped you with a ruler,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm definitely going to deal with that.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Just because I didn't say this before,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14it don't mean that it's not going to happen again, does it?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- You're getting worked up for nothing.- I don't care, Miss.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Wipe your nose with that, not on your coat.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Like, I think I can have a temper sometimes.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24If someone says, like, something that I don't like to me,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26then I get right annoyed, very fast.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30This is the first time you've actually come to me with an issue,
0:09:30 > 0:09:35have you not? Every other time I've had to deal with you,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37have I sanctioned you for what you've done?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41So why are you saying to me now that it's not going to be dealt with?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Have you no faith in me?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45So why did you come to me?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I will deal with things, but you really need to be mindful of what
0:09:51 > 0:09:52you're saying.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58How are you feeling now?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Better.- Are you sure?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Yeah.- Yeah, you look like you've calmed down now.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14The next day, Miss Ahmed gathers everyone involved so she can
0:10:14 > 0:10:18get to the bottom of exactly what happened.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Mr Shabir, I just need to take a couple of students out.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Right, I need to take out Ella, Fareed,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Michael, Jenaya, JJ, Chloe and Nameen.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'm taking half of your class. Sorry, sir.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37I've got several statements from most of who was involved.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41You've all had time to think about it and reflect on it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Fareed.- So she kept leaning on my table,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I pushed her hand out, telling her, "No, shut up,"
0:10:46 > 0:10:50and then she kept leaning back and I pulled my table back, then she gets
0:10:50 > 0:10:52her chair and moves back and does it again.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Right, so you was leaning on your chair. You was annoying them. Right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58And then Fareed told me to stop, and then I did,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and then I lent back again, and I didn't put my elbow near his work,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Miss, I must have done that on accident,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and then Michael were telling him to hit me harder on my hand.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Now we're getting somewhere.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Right, Ella, you were saying about
0:11:10 > 0:11:12putting your hand on the table, right?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I'm sorry, but you should not be doing that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- No, Miss.- We know what actually happened, right?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20People were disrespectful to each other, right?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22People used violence.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26We're all good people, but sometimes we just make the wrong decisions.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Right, so did you make the right decision or wrong yesterday?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- The wrong one.- Thank you for being so honest,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35because at the end of the day, two wrongs don't make a right.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38If somebody's been horrible to you and you're just as horrible to them,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43it won't make you a better person. It won't make you feel any better.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46And there's two sides to every story.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49But for Fareed, this one doesn't have a happy ending.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Fareed will be in isolation for a day, on Monday.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55If you hit somebody, it's a day in isolation, OK?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59You know what you did wrong, so I want to see some changed behaviours.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Is that understood?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Ella. Some changed behaviours.- OK, Miss!- Take that out of your mouth!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Settling into a new school and getting to know everyone can be
0:12:16 > 0:12:19pretty daunting, and not just for the students.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18there's positions for those that are perhaps a bit bigger or stronger.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I find after, like, a really tough day at school,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I find coming to rugby a real good stress reliever.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55It is an adrenaline rush. I love the excitement on a Saturday,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57sort of putting on the rugby shirt, playing for your mates,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01just doing your best, crowd watching from the sidelines. I love it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14In Year Seven, you get pretty used to hearing what your form tutor

0:14:18 > 0:14:20We need to be better at this.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Let's not start this half term like that, OK?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27But today, the school have agreed to try a new experiment
0:14:27 > 0:14:30called 360 Degree Feedback.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Instead of being told what Mr Shore and Mr Shabir think of them,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37these Year Sevens get to quiz their form tutors and report on how
0:14:37 > 0:14:39they're doing for once.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42So, we want student feedback, so we can improve, can't we?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Cos nobody's perfect. Mr Shore might think he's perfect.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- I'm definitely not perfect...- Would you say he's perfect?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Yeah.- All good?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55That was easy! So why's Mr Shabir looking so worried?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I think Mr Shabir's a little bit nervous...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Were you ever naughty in primary or nursery, or anything like that?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Baby Shabir! - LAUGHTER
0:15:10 > 0:15:13What kind of things do you think Mr Shabir got into trouble for?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Talking!- You saying I've got a big gob? - LAUGHTER
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I loved school, but you're right.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22We were, just like all young people, a little bit naughty,
0:15:22 > 0:15:23and I think I'd better stop there!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29If you were to pick any position in school, except for science,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- which would it be?- I'd like to be Head of Year,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34just because then I'd get to see more Year Sevens.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36He's after Mr Shabir's job!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Maybe that's why he's nervous!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Or I'd like to work in the canteen.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Because then I can eat all the food. - You're so greedy, sir!
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yeah, it's a bit greedy, but, yeah, when no-one's looking, just a
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- little chip.- What's your favourite food?- My favourite food is sushi.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- I don't like sushi. - So, yeah, raw fish.- Eewww!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58This is supposed to be a chance to ask the big questions about what
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- really makes your teachers tick. - How do you get your hair like that?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Yeah!- I brush it,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06and I put some wax in it.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It looks like you've just been dragged through the jungle
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- backwards.- It does, doesn't it? But that's the look I go for.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Bit harsh! This is all getting rather personal...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Have you ever had no beard?- We've been together for a long time...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- LAUGHTER - His beard...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- It's a she! - LAUGHTER
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Do you trim it, sir?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30You smell so strong, it's like you're overloaded with perfume.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- You stink, sir! - LAUGHTER
0:16:33 > 0:16:35The beard takes a lot of upkeep - shampoos, conditioners,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38oils, straighteners, blow-dryers,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41but it's clearly worth it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43What's the best thing about being a teacher?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Working with people like you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47If you make people feel happy and comfortable,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49then those feelings stay with those people for life.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I don't get a pay rise if you get a good grade,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I get satisfaction and happiness and contentment.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Erm, what's the worst thing about teaching?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03When people don't listen, or think that...acting like they don't care.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05The teachers spend a lot of time planning the lessons,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07and then when the pupils don't listen,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10the teachers take it very personally.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12They think that they're not a good teacher.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Mr Shabir reckons he knows exactly what you think of his lessons.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I have the power of reading your minds.- How?- Do you want to see?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I'll prove it. So, if you guys want to answer my questions, in
0:17:23 > 0:17:26your mind, don't say this out loud. One add one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Two add two.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Four add four.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Eight add eight.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Think of a vegetable.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Say it out.- Carrot.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41LAUGHTER
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Whoa. How did he do that?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- That was...- Right, read my mind, what I'm thinking right now.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- You're thinking naughty things. - LAUGHTER
0:17:53 > 0:17:55True, true, that is the truth.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Describe him in three words, now, quickly.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Strict, nice, kind, motivated, caring...
0:18:05 > 0:18:07That's too many.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Excellent.- Ten out of ten.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- That's four.- 100%.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Ten out of ten.- Ten of ten.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18You lot obviously need to pay more attention in my maths lessons.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Best teacher ever.- Yeah!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24He's a brilliant teacher, he knows everything.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28So, Mr Shabir and Mr Shore both get A-stars from our students.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- All right, thank you, sir. - All right, Miss.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Sir, who do you love more? - No more questions now.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37No, who do you love more - your beard or your wife?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Anyone got anything to add?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It was nice to, like, know Mr Shabir more, cos we only know him
0:18:42 > 0:18:45for, like...computing and form tutor.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47But he's actually a really nice guy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Sounds like Finlay is fishing for an A-star to me.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01One of the best parts of secondary school is trying new things.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Add your books in a pile, get yourself packed away.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08After school, some of the Year Seven boys are going to Mr Shore's rugby
0:19:08 > 0:19:10club, to try out his favourite sport.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14I guess I was hoping that, by introducing them to rugby, it might,
0:19:14 > 0:19:20firstly, show them a sport they've definitely not experienced before.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- I thought it was just about tackling...- And pain.- Exactly.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25THEY LAUGH
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Months of planning, and the day before, I just got really,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30really sick. I was absolutely gutted.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Luckily for the boys, Mr Shabir's on the subs bench.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38What do I know about rugby? Do I look like a rugby player?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44That's better. Now you do.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Looks more like a school disco than a rugby trip.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Ah, yes, guys, we're here! - About time, man! Finally!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Yay!- Rugby! Rugby!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That looks sick!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18They've got a stand and everything!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yeah!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It was cool, because it was huge, it was, like, probably as big as
0:20:23 > 0:20:25a real one.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28The size of Sheffield's ground isn't the only big surprise.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- ALL:- Who-o-o-oa!
0:20:31 > 0:20:33He's huge!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Mr Shore has arranged a very special coach to train the boys.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Ben Foden. He plays for Northampton Saints in the Premiership.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43He's also played for England. A really good player.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46So I guess he would be one of my role models.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48CHEERING
0:20:48 > 0:20:52He has, like, legs for arms, and arms for legs.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- It's like, he's massive. - He never skipped arm or leg day.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03His biceps were, like, the size of our heads combined, like, like this.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Finlay? Ask your question.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08What is your worst injury you've ever had?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Er, one I had two seasons ago, I ruptured my ACL ligament.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Who-o-oa!- Jeez!- Sounds painful.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17What exactly is an ACL?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Is that arm or leg?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22No, it's...he broke the kneecap
0:21:22 > 0:21:25thing, like a little stretchy thing,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I don't know what you call it...
0:21:27 > 0:21:28That's close enough.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31The anterior cruciate ligament is the bit that lets you move your knee
0:21:31 > 0:21:34backwards and forwards.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Asking Ben questions was incredible.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39What's the most famous person you've met?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Er, I would probably say the Queen.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- What?!- Oh, my God!
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I didn't know you could meet the Queen if you're just a rugby player.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Yeah, you can. - What's the Queen like?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- What do you think the Queen would be like?- Old.- Sassy!- Old and grey!
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Careful. People have been thrown in the Tower for less than that.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Well, I'm not bothered.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Why, man? That's the Queen, man.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04But I'm not bothered about the Queen.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Now, anyone who's met Wayne knows there's one subject he definitely
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- is bothered about.- What do you think's better - rugby or football?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Oh! Obviously I'm biased. I'm very biased. Are you all football fans,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- or have we got a few rugby players? - Yeah!- You know what,
0:22:20 > 0:22:21one piece of advice for you all,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24you should do as many sports as you can when you're young,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26because they develop you in all sorts of different areas.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- You didn't say which one was better. - Oh, rugby's obviously better.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Yeah!- Walk away. Calm down, boys.- I know rugby's a contact sport,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37but the training hasn't even started yet!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Oh, I was fuming!
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Hang on, I think you two would be more suited for rugby, not football.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43You don't get any of that in football.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- You get a bit of that in rugby, though.- Good, good tackle.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48You should have seen Wayne and Fareed, like, boxed him.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Winched him. - LAUGHTER

0:22:53 > 0:22:56He were only playing. He wasn't doing it to full-on harm.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59So, fellas, are we ready to get out on the pitch and give rugby a go?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- ALL:- Yeah!
0:23:01 > 0:23:05With Mr Shore ill, it's down to Mr Shabir to give the boys that
0:23:05 > 0:23:08all-important pre-match pep talk.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11We're representing Firth Park Year Seven, to show Ben how good we are.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Resilience, hard work, dedication, good communication skills.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16On three, Firth Park.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18One, two, three, Firth Park!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Keep it with Michael. Come into space, here.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Yeah, Mr Shabir's like our school manager.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34He was stood there, with his arms, a massive coat on,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- a hat and a nice suit on. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Make sure you get on the floor. Let's get down and do it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41It's what rugby's all about.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Let's go. Hit the pads. Good. That's good aggression.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50WHISTLE BLOWS
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yeah, they seem really good for a bunch of guys that haven't played
0:23:52 > 0:23:55much rugby before. It's really good to see the kids getting the hang of
0:23:55 > 0:23:57rugby very quickly.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01In fact, someone could be giving Mr Shore stiff competition for our
0:24:01 > 0:24:04school's star rugby player. WHISTLE BLOWS
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I thought you run slow, no offence,

0:24:12 > 0:24:16Alojz was like Usain Bolt, he was on a mission.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- I'm very fast, because I train. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Alojz is absolutely loving it. He's made for rugby, he loves it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28But someone who definitely isn't loving rugby is Wayne.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Yeah!
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Wayne was really hyper on the trip.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36He was crazy.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39WHISTLE BLOWS
0:24:39 > 0:24:42He was really wanting to win, like, really wanting to win.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- He's like me.- Wanting to win is one thing,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48but taking a swing at someone is hardly fair play.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Keep your hands to yourself, please, young man.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Michael, like, he was doing something and
0:24:54 > 0:24:56then, like, when we were trying to get the ball, like,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58he got all aggressive and defensive, like...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00WHISTLE BLOWS
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Sometimes Wayne can get a bit carried away,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07so Mr Shabir steps in before things get messy.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10You need to get yourself into some space, no need to keep shouting.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12You're running around, "Pass it here," and shouting.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14You're barking instructions to everyone.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Get yourself into position, calm yourself down,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18and use a team member.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Pass the ball, pass the ball!
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I wasn't calming down because no-one gave me a chance, and what am I
0:25:24 > 0:25:26supposed to do when no-one gives me a chance?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Yes, Wayne, you're on the ball, Wayne.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Plenty of time. Put it in, Wayne! Pass it in! Good ball.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Looks like a quiet word from the guvnor's done the trick.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Oh, I loved it, mate!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I was buzzing with a capital B.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Wayne's got his first point in rugby.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46He's happy, and hopefully this is the start for him to maybe take
0:25:46 > 0:25:49rugby up and never touch a football ever again.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- I don't think that's going to happen. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Playing rugby is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
0:25:54 > 0:25:57for me, because I'm never going to play rugby ever again.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It was a fantastic effort by everyone involved, OK?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I think you showed a lot of ambition, and a lot of future talent
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- is on display here, OK?- All of us thought it was cool,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08some people thought they might not like it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11But in the end, we played as a team and everyone did.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Have I convinced you to go and join your local rugby team?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Yeah!- No, no, no! - LAUGHTER
0:26:17 > 0:26:19The boys have had a great time,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23but there's one person who's had to miss out on all the fun.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25As we know, Mr Shore is not feeling too well and this is his rugby club,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29so can we have a nice message for Mr Shore, please?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- ALL:- Get well soon, Mr Shore!
0:26:31 > 0:26:35You're the best in the school, you can be jumping in the pool.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It did make me feel a lot better. It was really nice, with Ben Foden as
0:26:38 > 0:26:40well. Yeah, it really brightened up my day.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46It shows how, like, how much care we care for him.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I don't know if that was grammatically correct, but
0:26:49 > 0:26:51that's how I'm saying it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Year Seven can be a bit daunting,
0:26:56 > 0:27:01but making new friends and meeting dedicated, inspirational teachers
0:27:01 > 0:27:03means you'll have a lot of fun, too.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Sign mine!- And you never know, you might even learn a few things.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Who do you think is better -
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Ben or Mr Shore?
0:27:11 > 0:27:16Ben, because he is an England national flipping rugby player!
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- And then...- I think Mr Shore.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Next time, it's fright night at Our School.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- If you're a ghost, give us a sign. - DOOR SLAMS
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- SCREAM - Who was that?- Oh!
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Our best rugby faces are...- Ggrrr!
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I don't know why I do it, I always do this eyebrow thing.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44When I was... I was like...
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Like my gums... - LAUGHTER
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I find that hard to do.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Put the imaginary gumshield in...
