0:00:03 > 0:00:08In today's Our School, eight students on a ghost hunt.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- Are you scared? - WHISPERS:- Yeah, I'm scared.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11I'm good.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13If you're a ghost, give us a sign.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Will they all make it out all right?
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Hello? Is anybody there?
0:00:19 > 0:00:24If you're watching us, please stay away from our school.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26There's something here.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:00:41 > 0:00:43They're all starting here together.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47That level of noise is absolutely disgusting.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- GIGGLING - Yes!
0:00:57 > 0:00:58This has seen better days.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02You stink, Sir.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11so you'll get to watch Year 7 every step of the way.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Stop waving at me.- Yeah!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hello, I'm Mr Jones. I'm a maths teacher here at Our School,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and every time that you're here, I'm going to be here too.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Right now I'm late for a lesson. Excuse me.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Come on in.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Boom! Mic drop.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Our School in Sheffield has been here almost 80 years.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Exciting things have happened.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49STUDENTS GASP AND SCREAM
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Generations of students have learned their lessons here.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Like how to sit at a table...
0:01:55 > 0:01:56or not.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59How to behave in a lesson.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01No stupid noises, no drinks.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03No breathing.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Even the law of gravity.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11If Our School could talk, it would have so many stories to tell.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But instead, it's up to our history teacher,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Mrs Black, to bring our pasts to life.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Well, what we're looking at today
0:02:21 > 0:02:24is to look at who will make the best wife for Henry VIII.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28And today she's going way back and talking Tudors.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33To know the names of Henry's six wives and to be able to explain
0:02:33 > 0:02:36a social and political reason why he married them.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'm looking for six volunteers now.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I had to dress up as Henry VIII.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I had to wear a big massive jacket thing
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and I were boiling.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Welcome to a very special dating game show.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Today we are going to fix Henry up with a lovely lassie based upon
0:02:56 > 0:02:59political reasons and social reasons.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Come on in, Henry.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02BOOING
0:03:02 > 0:03:04What you chatting about? What are you chatting about?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07What you chatting about? What you chatting about?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Thank you, thank you.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Shut up, shut up.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I actually need Wayne in every one of my lessons to actually
0:03:16 > 0:03:18tell people that if they don't listen to me,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21he's going to have the power to chop off their head.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22How dare you boo me?!
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Is that me throne? - That's your throne.- Thank you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30The first wife, Catherine of Aragon!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33CHEERING
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Anne Boleyn's your next Queen. Be prepared to cheer.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41CHEERING
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I had to wear this, like, dress. with, like, sparkly bits.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It felt embarrassing, man.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51YELLING
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Sometimes the lads won't wear a dress
0:03:53 > 0:03:55because they get embarrassed,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59but the lads actually were clambering into those dresses.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Sit on my lap, if you want? - Oh, what!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Catherine Howard!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07CHEERING
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Catherine Parr! Look at that dress.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14CHEERING
0:04:19 > 0:04:21What's your name, and where do you come from, pet?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Henry married me in June of 1509 when I was 18.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29King Henry and I have been having an affair behind your back
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and I am pregnant!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33STUDENTS WHOOP
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Henry just divorced Anne of Cleves
0:04:37 > 0:04:40as he said she looked like a Belgian horse.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Khloe Kardashian learned everything from me
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and this is why Henry fancies me.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49The other wives' performance was good, cos...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53they were good-looking, but the dress wasn't as good as mine,
0:04:53 > 0:04:58so Henry VIII didn't want them, he wanted me.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, we have our winner.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04THEY SING WEDDING MARCH
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I'm embarrassed, cos Jaafar, shout out...
0:05:12 > 0:05:15..turned out to be my wife.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Yeah, which is a very good thing. I think you'd be a great couple.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Shanazze, I've been married to Jaafar.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I've been pregnant.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I definitely think Miss Black is a big part of
0:05:28 > 0:05:29making history a lot of fun.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31She always thinks of really good lessons.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37How's your handwriting coming on?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40And the thing with Mrs Black is, even out of school,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43she's always talking about history.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48So, this week at school, we've been looking at the Tudors.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- You looked at that in primary school, didn't you?- Yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Are you are getting dizzy, are you?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Do you remember Henry VIII?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57When I try to speak to my son about history,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00he's just not interested at all.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I do test some of my lessons on him because he's a Year 7.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07He prefers to be on his games.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09The King could cut off your head like that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Would you like your head on a pole?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I wouldn't like to teach my own children - that would be quite hard.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17What do you think you're going to be doing in school today, Imogen?
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Er, maths.- Maths?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26We're looking at the Sheffield blitz during World War II,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29so that's what my Year 7s are going to be studying today.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I remember when I was at school and the teachers made it fun,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36the lessons I hated, where I messed about in,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38was when I was bored out of my head.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So, as a teacher, I like to mix it up.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45The day I become a boring teacher is the day I quit teaching, really,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47so, yeah!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53MUSIC: The White Cliffs Of Dover by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra
0:06:57 > 0:07:01As we all start another day in the 21st century,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Mrs Black is travelling back in time to the 1940s.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Today's title is What Can I Learn from Sources
0:07:08 > 0:07:10about the Sheffield Blitz?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11But first...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14INSTRUMENT RATTLES LOUDLY
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Now... Anyone know what this is?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22They used it in the war to blow people's ears off?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Why? Why, why, did they use it? Go on.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Was it maybe, like, to signal when something was going to happen?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Right, I'll give you a clue. You're doing well, you're doing well.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Wait there.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33INSTRUMENT RATTLES
0:07:33 > 0:07:36No, I know what it is. I know what it's for.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I think history is awesome.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Some people think it's really boring and it's got nothing to do with
0:07:42 > 0:07:45anything now, but I just like learning about things
0:07:45 > 0:07:47that have happened in the past.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Does anyone know how he's dressed today?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Shanazze?- He's a fire guard. He is a fire guard, well done.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58During World War II, the Home Guard - that was like pensioners,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Dad's Army - had to wear this uniform.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I found this in our school when I was rummaging round.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I think that there's loads of history in our school,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09which is a good thing about it because we can learn about
0:08:09 > 0:08:12where we're learning and where we're studying at.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Now, the Sheffield Blitz took place on December 12th 1940 and
0:08:17 > 0:08:20in the head teacher's log of this school in 1940,
0:08:20 > 0:08:25I found this - "An alert was sounded the 7pm this evening.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28"The students were all successfully placed in the shelters..."
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- HEAD MASTER:- "..and remained during
0:08:30 > 0:08:32"the very heavy air raids on the city."
0:08:32 > 0:08:37My mum's great-grandad was in the war and he was fighting.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41And THEN my mum's great-grandma was working as a nurse.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46If my great-great-great grandad was still alive, I would've been able to
0:08:46 > 0:08:47know all about World War II.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50That's why I really like learning about history.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Family is really important to Shanazze.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01My little brother's six.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04My other brother, he's eight years old.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07What year will I be in when he comes?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10You'll be in Year 11 when he goes into Year 7.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Aw, that's good cos I can see them then.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14They are sweet sometimes,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16but sometimes they're annoying and naughty.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18THEY YELL AND GIGGLE
0:09:21 > 0:09:24What I want to do when I'm older is I want to become a gymnast,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I want to be a vet because I really like animals.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I want to be an author cos I like reading books,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34but then I really want to write my own story.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35I like to read a lot.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I've got, like, a massive book shelf full of books
0:09:39 > 0:09:42that I've had from, like, years ago that I haven't read yet,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44so I'm trying to, like, read them all.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Shanazze loves stories.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51But sometimes the best 'uns are right under your nose,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55and Mrs Black's been finding out some stories about the school.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Over the years, there have been creepy tales about
0:09:58 > 0:10:01strange and unexplained happenings,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05and for Mrs Black, it's all part of the power of history.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Local rumour has it that the school was used as a hospital
0:10:08 > 0:10:10during World War II.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14The caretakers tell me that in my classroom they had hospital beds.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Apparently there's lots of stories about hauntings on the corridor.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22So this is the head teacher and I found this hat
0:10:22 > 0:10:27and this hat, I believe, belonged to that head teacher.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Would anyone like to try on his hat?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Go on, Michael. Let's see how lovely you look in it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'm the head teacher. I'm the master now.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Be quiet!
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Now, legend has it that if the hat leaves the building,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50then the head teacher's ghost is going to run after people.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Roaming like this...
0:10:52 > 0:10:53SHE SCREAMS
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Yes! Yes!
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- My friend says it Tasers you. - Sure it will, sure it will.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I don't believe in that kind of thing.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Cos if you think about it, there's a ghost in the building,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06it could even be a poltergeist, and then it could kill you.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Why are we talking about this while we're in school?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Now, last night I was here until about seven o'clock,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14and I spoke to the caretaker.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Now, he said that outside these double doors out here,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22he had seen a nurse.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24There was two nurses with a man in the middle
0:11:24 > 0:11:28and the nurses were carrying the man down the corridor.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29INDISTINCT QUESTIONS
0:11:29 > 0:11:34That might tie to this building being a hospital during the war.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37We're not sure about this. We're still researching this.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41I'm not afraid of ghosts. Because they don't exist.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44THE EXORCIST THEME
0:11:44 > 0:11:46PHONE VIBRATES
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I know it sounds weird but I'd like to become a ghost and die before
0:11:51 > 0:11:54people I don't like, cos then people I don't really like,
0:11:54 > 0:11:55I could just haunt them.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I think it'd be quite cool to be a ghost cos you could go to
0:11:58 > 0:12:01the zoo, pick up a penguin and pretend it's flying.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03If I saw a ghost, I'd make friends with it,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05see if it's friendly, first.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07And if it isn't friendly I'd just...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10whack it with my straighteners or something.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Once my door, it kept opening
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and it was just, like, opening and closing.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Oh, that happened to me, but that was because the windows were open.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- I believe in the paranormal. - I've seen ghosts.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I were walking with my mum in the graveyard
0:12:24 > 0:12:25and I saw something go like that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It were literally an arm and I looked around and no-one
0:12:28 > 0:12:29were there, it was so creepy.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32We went into the attic, there were all stairs stuck up,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36stacked on each other in a big row, and...
0:12:37 > 0:12:39..we could heard summat, like, scraping along the floor.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40We looked behind us,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43there were, like, this brick moving around in circles.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45It were right weird.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I think the average kid would think school's boring,
0:12:49 > 0:12:50but not this school -
0:12:50 > 0:12:53THIS school is haunted.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The humanities corridor is supposed to be
0:12:56 > 0:13:00the most haunted corridor in school.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Right, that corridor is the coldest corridor in the school.- Exactly!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09When you walk in through the other door,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12you can really feel, like, a tense kind of breeze,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15or kind of like a paranormal kind of wave just hit you.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- On the F corridor... - I was on the history corridor.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah.- This is what I heard...
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- RECORDING:- She's here, she's really here.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24That's what I heard.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26That sounds just like Amy to me...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31But look what the caretaker found on CCTV.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Did you see that?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Let's watch it again.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40What is that?
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Ugh! I wouldn't want to be roaming those corridors at night.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49But that's exactly what some of your Year 7s are going to do.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Mrs Black has arranged a spooky sleepover
0:13:52 > 0:13:54for some of her keenest historians
0:13:54 > 0:13:58so they can explore the school's wartime past
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and have a bit of ghostly fun, too.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07As the rest of the school go home for the night,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11the Year 7 historians gather with Mrs Black and Mr Webb.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14They both look a bit different.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I decided to wear World War II nurse's uniform.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21The kids really, really loved it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Mister looks smart!
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I got to wear this amazing uniform
0:14:26 > 0:14:30which was unlike anything that I'd ever, ever worn.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33He actually looked pretty cool in it, he did.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36With his cap on, he'd all his nice uniform,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38massive boots. It suited him, yeah.
0:14:38 > 0:14:45So we're going to transport you back to our school 1940s-style,
0:14:45 > 0:14:50and what we've got in the box is...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53the original school uniform.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56So, let's get ourselves kitted up. So there you go.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's like we just jumped through a door into 1940s.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03It definitely looked very, very smart.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05CHATTER
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oh, man, the ties are much more better!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I think that the school uniform was very nice
0:15:12 > 0:15:16because it was red and the best part is...they were comfortable.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I like this uniform better. It's way more...swag.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21To be honest, I liked them.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I think they were better than these uniforms.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Our historians are split into two teams
0:15:26 > 0:15:30and given clues to hunt for links to the school's wartime past.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36So, let's go before it gets dark and the ghost'll get us.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- I want the ghost to get me. - Oh, I know.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Ghosts? "What a bunch of hippy-dippy baloney!"
0:15:50 > 0:15:54So, we're now about here.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58So what do you think these white patches are on the field?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- They're clues. - What do you think was here?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02What would protect you from the bombs?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04The Anderson shelter. Is it? No.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Not an Anderson shelter, but you're close, you're close.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09A bit better than an Anderson shelter.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- What would be deep underground? - Bomb shelter underneath.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15A big bunker underneath the ground.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19It was very weird to know that loads of kids would've walked through
0:16:19 > 0:16:22there and, like, deep underground, right beneath our feet.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26So we're literally right on the bunker.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29When Miss Black told us about the bunkers underground, I felt
0:16:29 > 0:16:32excited cos I haven't really heard of it
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and it was quite cool that it was still there.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39So, the students in this school, during the night of
0:16:39 > 0:16:43the Sheffield Blitz, they had to come out and hide in the bunker
0:16:43 > 0:16:46and places downtown got really, really bombed.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Oh, yeah, they tried to destroy the metal factories,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51cos they knew that's how they made the bombs.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Well done, Shanazze.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54When you've got good teachers, like Miss Black,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57who're teaching you properly and are like acting out things,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01you can get really into it and you like start to like it more.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04"You are going on a journey, you will need me early.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07"Somewhere to put the teddy. Have you packed him already?
0:17:07 > 0:17:12"Mr Shaw looks after him and keeps me with the stationery."
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Shall we try B22 first?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Right, let's go then, let's see what to says.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Can you see where it might be? - It's not in here.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It said something about this stationery cupboard, didn't it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- It could be around his desk. - I can feel a presence!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Check in those cupboards!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32A strong presence!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Here, I've found it.- Oh!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- It might not be teddy. - Pop it on this front table, then.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Right, who might have been putting teddies in suitcases?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Remember we are in the 1940s here.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Oh, a kid who was evacuated because it's too dangerous for them.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Too dangerous. So it must have been quite scary.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50What must it have been like? You suddenly get told -
0:17:50 > 0:17:52"Oh, you've got to go and move."
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Cos people would've gone right out into the countryside.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Shocking and scary.- Yeah. - Like you're leaving all your past
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- behind that you worked for years and it's just gone like that.- Yeah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05"I am a very old book that tells us the night the school shook.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07"You will find me in the room of the king of the school."
0:18:07 > 0:18:10It said "the king of the school".
0:18:10 > 0:18:12So there we was like, "Mr Jones."
0:18:13 > 0:18:17That's our head teacher. I wonder what they'll find in his office.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- What are we looking for? - I like this.- It's an old book.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- I found it, I found it. - Right, OK. Oh, wow.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's some sort of a diary.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29We found, like, an old log book in Mr Jones' office.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33You could tell it was old cos you could see the dates in it,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36the 1940s, all in the war and everything.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39And if you look, the head teacher's name,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42what do you notice about the head teacher's name of our school?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Oh, it's the same as our head teacher now.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Do you think it's the same guy?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Unless he's, like, paranormal or like a vampire,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52or something like that.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55D Jones.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00That is what our principal is called now.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02That is weird.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07I thought that was a bit spooky. That sent shivers down my spine.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Dean Jones.- Yeah, yeah. - Dean Jones.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14It could've been his great-grandad or great-great-grandad,
0:19:14 > 0:19:15but maybe he's always been here.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And that's not the only link to the old head teacher.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oh, look, a bell! Oh!
0:19:26 > 0:19:31"Ding dong, I belong to the head, I am cracked and worn."
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- That makes sense, cracked... - And it's worn.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37And over in the atrium, there's one final discovery.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39These are a family's gas masks.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Now, during World War II, when they closed this school down,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48they had some people in our science lab
0:19:48 > 0:19:50making these for the entire country.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54So these would've been made in our school.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It's probably an improvement on my face.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It's amazing to think of the history in our school
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and of all those who've walked the corridors in the past.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11With the history hunt over, time for some more fun.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And it wouldn't be a sleepover without some haunting stories.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Now, does anyone know any ghost stories while we're sat in the dark?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22A good ghost story has to be at night,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26it has to be in the darkness, and you have to have torches.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well, it's not a story -
0:20:28 > 0:20:31it's actually true, what happened to my cousin.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35You may not think that I believe in ghosts, but I do believe in spirits.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40We were on the Xbox, and at the time it was an Xbox 360...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42LAUGHTER
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Many, many, MANY years ago,
0:20:46 > 0:20:51there was this girl who absolutely hated life.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56We heard my other cousin's door slam shut,
0:20:56 > 0:21:01And I turned around, this face just popped up and screamed.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Whoever listens to the story, she will go after.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Oh!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10One of the ghost stories we've heard about is, like,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13a green lady with just a white dress on,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16who walks the humanities corridor.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20So, what we're going to be doing next is we're going to be going up
0:21:20 > 0:21:26to the humanities corridor to look for the ghost of the green lady.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Things are about to get really scary.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I'm watching from behind my settee, but if you don't like
0:21:35 > 0:21:38being frightened, maybe this bit's not for you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Like all the best horror stories,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Year 7 are about to do the worst thing possible,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48split up and explore the school in the dark.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I felt scared. What if something happened?
0:21:54 > 0:21:55What would we do?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58You don't know what's in the dark.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It could be shadows blending in. You don't really know.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Can you see anything?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06No.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Oooh!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You feel a bit what?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18A little bit cold. Yeah, I know it is a bit nippy.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Being in school in the dark, you see, like, weird things.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Like, we looked into a classroom
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and we saw shadows of ourselves and we got scared.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- PIERCING SQUEAL - Whoa!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31My mind was playing tricks on me
0:22:31 > 0:22:34because I could hear, like, weird noises
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and I started, like, thinking - what if I see this and this?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38It just got really weird.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Something in that corridor.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Probably just the others playing a prank on us.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm not joking, I heard something down there.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51OK. I heard a little child call.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54OK, everyone stick together.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Who's that?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57- PIERCING SQUEAL - Who's that?!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Shanazze, she was like, she was the scaredest.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01She was more scared than me.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Yeah, and YOU were a wuss!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07This is so scary I'm going to go and see.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I was really, really, really, really, really, really,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14really, really, REALLY scared!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I thought you liked ghosts.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22We went into Miss Black's classroom which was part of the hospital ward
0:23:22 > 0:23:24in the Sheffield Blitz, I think it were.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27If people were brave enough because there were four beds going down here,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31so I'll choose there, I'll go there.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32I'm not going anywhere!
0:23:32 > 0:23:33- Is that clear?- Go on, I dare you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Line yourselves up where the beds would've been.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- I'm not going.- No!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I'm scared now. Too scared.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Mr Webb wanted us to lie down on the tables.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We went, "No", because it was too creepy.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Don't lay down!
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Don't lay down.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Mr Webb went down and laid on the table.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Like...a daft person would do.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Sir, are you all right?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Sir. Sir.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06I got scared as well because I didn't really know what was happening with Mr Webb.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Sir, stop lying.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Stop faking it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Rarrgh! - GIRL SCREAMS
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Oi!
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Oh, sorry!
0:24:16 > 0:24:20The corridor was scary enough. Mr Webb just topping that up.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Yeah, so, got us good. Very bad.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24So, up ahead is the humanities corridor.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Now, allegedly, this is the most haunted part of the school.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Miss Black spooked us out because why did she have to whisper?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It was like... "I was talking to the caretaker..."
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I was like, "You can talk in your normal voice, you know!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39"You don't have to freak me out even more."
0:24:39 > 0:24:42This is where the most activity takes place,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44this is where it's coldest,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46this is where the Green Lady has been spotted
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and we're going to find out where she stands
0:24:48 > 0:24:50and we'll go stand there.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54It was colder, it was darker and Miss told us to turn off our torches
0:24:54 > 0:24:56so we couldn't shine them about or anything.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59It was, like, just nothing. Just walking around.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04She stands exactly here, looking out this window.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08No word of a lie, when we stood where she apparently was stood,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12it was colder, you could feel, like, a presence. It was like...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15It is colder here, George, you are right, it is definitely cold here.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Shanazze?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18ECHOING BANGING
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Guys? I think it's our worst fears.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I was frightened. It was absolutely horrible.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Boom, boom, boom.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35LAUGHTER AND SQUEALING
0:25:36 > 0:25:39But after all, that it was just the other group.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41As soon as they opened the door,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44we jumped in their face and they got freaked out.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46You scaredy-cat!
0:25:46 > 0:25:48You're such a wuss!
0:25:48 > 0:25:52I ran to the door and I was... "Oi, you idiots! What are you doing?!"
0:25:52 > 0:25:54FOREBODING MUSIC
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm glad that's done.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm sure everyone will have a good night's sleep now.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Everyone's tired.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Night-night!
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Right, time for bed, everybody. OK, heads down.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Make yourselves nice and comfy.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Sweet dreams! Hope nothing goes bump in the night.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20What scares me most about the dark is that you never know.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21The dark is full of wonders.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24OWL HOOTS
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It's the morning after.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Hey, you know the best part about getting up?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- What?- It's going back to sleep.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45And in the light of day, the Year 7 historians are reflecting
0:26:45 > 0:26:47on last night's events.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Did you have nightmares?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51No, but I had a dream that I ate a spider.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Luckily, I didn't have nightmares but I was worried about it.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I couldn't sleep because I kept on hearing noises
0:26:59 > 0:27:02and in the middle of the night we heard a girl screaming and we were freaked out.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06I heard a noise, that went, "Wooo!"
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Not many kids can really say they've slept at their own school
0:27:08 > 0:27:11and we've learnt so much about, like, the history of the school.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16I'm proud of this school because it survived.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19It's worked its way through World War Two.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Most kids wouldn't even know about the history of this school.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I agree. There's so much history around here.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30And no reason to be scared
0:27:30 > 0:27:31of any of it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32ECHOING SQUAWK
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Next time, can our Year 7 students teach the teachers how to rap?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- HE RAPS:- Rap is a word but for me it's a figure.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Get your sums right and your brain gets bigger!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Oi! I'm going to get you back so bad.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Watch. I'm going to get you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57SQUEALING AND GIGGLING
0:28:00 > 0:28:01SQUEALING
0:28:01 > 0:28:02SHE LAUGHS
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I swear, I'll get you really back!
