0001 10:00:00:00 10:00:02:10
- Write a passage...
- Put this into six...
0002 10:00:02:10 10:00:04:06
If all angles in a triangle...
0003 10:00:04:06 10:00:05:14
(narrator) What's it like
0004 10:00:05:14 10:00:08:16
being on the receiving end
of the education system?
0005 10:00:09:14 10:00:12:23
What's it like being in year 8,
when progress can dip?
0006 10:00:14:03 10:00:17:05
One school, four year 8 children.
0007 10:00:17:05 10:00:19:03
Bradley,
0008 10:00:19:03 10:00:20:18
Jack,
0009 10:00:20:18 10:00:22:06
Louise,
0010 10:00:22:06 10:00:23:13
and Robert.
0011 10:00:23:13 10:00:25:20
This series offers snapshots
0012 10:00:25:20 10:00:29:23
of four pupils' experience
and perception of school.
0013 10:00:34:04 10:00:38:20
(Jack) In the mornings, I'm
completely drained of my energy.
0014 10:00:38:20 10:00:43:02
It's just, "Oh, God - school.
What am I going to do?"
0015 10:00:44:19 10:00:51:18
It's like, evil teachers... evil
vampires sucking your brains out.
0016 10:00:54:10 10:00:55:23
When I get there it's fun,
0017 10:00:55:23 10:00:58:17
cos you've got all your friends
to play with.
0018 10:00:59:16 10:01:04:13
(narrator) 13-year-old Jack's
at HoveParkSchool, near Brighton.
0019 10:01:06:18 10:01:12:22
Jack left primary with two 4Cs
and a 3A in his key stage 2 SATs.
0020 10:01:12:22 10:01:14:07
Go!
0021 10:01:19:02 10:01:25:13
History, by miles, is definitely my
favourite lesson, with role playing.
0022 10:01:25:13 10:01:27:04
The teacher...
0023 10:01:27:04 10:01:32:00
Main subject, you need a good
teacher. You have to have one.
0024 10:01:32:00 10:01:40:10
Cos if you have an amazing,
shocking, cool, funny teacher,
0025 10:01:40:10 10:01:43:19
then all the stuff - it doesn't even
have to be funny or cool -
0026 10:01:43:19 10:01:45:10
it's really nice.
0027 10:01:45:10 10:01:47:20
And all the stuff
remains in your head.
0028 10:01:47:20 10:01:52:03
What happened to the boy?
Where was he taken?
0029 10:01:52:03 10:01:54:15
Oh, look. We've got one,
we've got two...
0030 10:01:54:15 10:01:57:13
(Jack) Miss Cooper is
my favourite teacher ever.
0031 10:01:57:13 10:01:59:06
She's just extremely funny.
0032 10:01:59:06 10:02:03:13
Let's have those girls at the back.
Seven, eight, nine.
0033 10:02:03:13 10:02:07:04
So we're remembering.
What can you remember about the...
0034 10:02:07:04 10:02:11:07
- (boy) They were tortured?
- Um... yes.
0035 10:02:11:07 10:02:14:23
(narrator) In history Jack's
currently working at level 5,
0036 10:02:14:23 10:02:16:19
his highest grade.
0037 10:02:16:19 10:02:19:13
(Miss Cooper) ..when he was
out catching the bird?
0038 10:02:19:13 10:02:23:07
- Bird?
- Yes. He tried to catch a bird.
0039 10:02:23:07 10:02:28:21
- And the slave-traders did what?
- Uh... Did they catch him in a net?
0040 10:02:28:21 10:02:31:00
They caught him in a net, yes.
0041 10:02:31:00 10:02:33:13
Right. Are you gonna concentrate?
0042 10:02:33:13 10:02:39:13
I don't think... Everybody, I don't
think we need to write today.
0043 10:02:39:13 10:02:42:19
- (a few cheers)
- Because it's Friday afternoon.
0044 10:02:42:19 10:02:47:19
But we need to use our thinking,
we need to use our sympathy.
0045 10:02:47:19 10:02:51:07
(Jack) In history we're
learning about the slave trade,
0046 10:02:51:07 10:02:57:04
about how they sold the slaves on,
inspecting them and all that.
0047 10:02:57:04 10:02:58:19
And...
0048 10:03:00:22 10:03:02:10
I love stuff like that.
0049 10:03:03:20 10:03:08:04
(Miss Cooper) And they take you
to a foreign country.
0050 10:03:08:04 10:03:11:03
When you wake up,
0051 10:03:11:03 10:03:13:17
you are terrified.
0052 10:03:13:17 10:03:17:19
Everything that's familiar
to you has gone.
0053 10:03:20:04 10:03:25:17
That is slavery,
and it happens today.
0054 10:03:26:09 10:03:29:21
(narrator) Miss Cooper's showing
a clip from an American TV drama
0055 10:03:29:21 10:03:30:21
about slavery.
0056 10:03:30:21 10:03:34:20
(Miss Cooper) Just keep hold of
these conditions in your head.
0057 10:03:34:20 10:03:37:10
The terrible smells,
0058 10:03:37:10 10:03:41:04
the uncivilised treatment of people.
0059 10:03:42:06 10:03:48:05
Hitler did the same thing
to the Jews between 1941 and 1945.
0060 10:03:48:05 10:03:52:23
You take away
the civilising elements of humanity.
0061 10:03:52:23 10:03:55:06
You make them feel like animals.
0062 10:03:55:06 10:04:01:01
I want you to work in fours
or sixes. Can you do that?
0063 10:04:01:01 10:04:05:22
And you are gonna do
your own slave auction. OK?
0064 10:04:05:22 10:04:09:08
Let's get into groups
with a bit of space.
0065 10:04:09:08 10:04:12:06
We should do a woman and a man.
0066 10:04:12:06 10:04:15:12
- Can I be the auctioneer?
- Yeah. Who's gonna...?
0067 10:04:15:12 10:04:17:20
I'll be the guy
who comes up and checks.
0068 10:04:17:20 10:04:21:11
- Yeah, yeah. And you can...
- (boy interrupts)
0069 10:04:21:11 10:04:24:02
- Who's what so far?
- I'm the guy who checks.
0070 10:04:24:02 10:04:28:07
- He's the auctioneer, he's a...
- Buyer or something.
0071 10:04:28:07 10:04:30:02
Me and Jack go up and test him.
0072 10:04:30:02 10:04:32:04
Yeah, you two should go...
Jack should test him.
0073 10:04:32:04 10:04:35:19
Jack should come from that way.
There's a stair.
0074 10:04:35:19 10:04:38:19
Jack. Jack, he's got that one.
0075 10:04:38:19 10:04:43:01
This one's full of muscle.
You'll get loads out of him.
0076 10:04:43:01 10:04:45:07
(all talking at once)
0077 10:04:45:07 10:04:48:16
Look at him.
Come up and inspect him, gentleman.
0078 10:04:50:19 10:04:51:19
No scars.
0079 10:04:55:06 10:04:57:02
Hold him!
0080 10:04:57:02 10:04:59:14
(teacher) Absolute silence!
0081 10:04:59:14 10:05:04:09
Right. What we're gonna do is
we're gonna watch each in turn
0082 10:05:04:09 10:05:09:07
and then we're gonna put
the furniture back - quietly -
0083 10:05:09:07 10:05:14:03
and while each group
is doing their role play,
0084 10:05:14:03 10:05:17:02
we are going to respect
their work, aren't we?
0085 10:05:17:02 10:05:20:24
These are the three slaves. He's the
man talking and I'm the translator.
0086 10:05:20:24 10:05:23:13
OK. That's a very good idea.
0087 10:05:23:13 10:05:26:23
Excellent idea.
He's got a translator.
0088 10:05:26:23 10:05:29:05
Is there any family
that you're missing?
0089 10:05:29:05 10:05:31:12
(speaks nonsense language)
0090 10:05:31:12 10:05:34:06
What, relatives who aren't dead?
0091 10:05:34:06 10:05:35:24
Oh.
0092 10:05:35:24 10:05:40:08
- I miss my mum and my dad.
- He misses his mum and his dad.
0093 10:05:40:08 10:05:43:06
What was it like on that ship?
0094 10:05:43:06 10:05:46:07
- White men evil.
- White men are evil.
0095 10:05:46:07 10:05:51:07
- Treat us with no respect.
- (speaks nonsense language)
0096 10:05:51:07 10:05:55:01
- Treat us with no respect.
- White man has no respect.
0097 10:05:55:01 10:05:58:06
OK. That's brilliant.
You've got a commendation each.
0098 10:05:58:06 10:06:02:02
Could I ask one of the slaves...
Where's one of the slaves?
0099 10:06:02:02 10:06:06:07
How do you think it might have felt
to have people looking at you
0100 10:06:06:07 10:06:08:16
and looking at your teeth?
0101 10:06:08:16 10:06:09:13
Yeah?
0102 10:06:09:13 10:06:13:23
If you was a girl, it was a bloke,
they'd try and look at your body.
0103 10:06:13:23 10:06:15:18
Yes, they would look at your body.
0104 10:06:15:18 10:06:18:03
And how would that, do you think,
make you feel?
0105 10:06:18:03 10:06:20:16
You two, who have been
chatting over there,
0106 10:06:20:16 10:06:23:10
- you tell us what you think.
- It's like...
0107 10:06:23:10 10:06:28:05
they're... they're, like,
not a person, they're a thing.
0108 10:06:28:05 10:06:32:05
Good. Excellent. They're not
a person, they're a thing.
0109 10:06:32:05 10:06:34:21
Any other thoughts?
Can you put your hands up?
0110 10:06:34:21 10:06:36:13
We've got a hand over here.
0111 10:06:36:13 10:06:40:24
You feel confused, because they're
all speaking a different language.
0112 10:06:40:24 10:06:45:08
And you haven't seen any of these
people before and they're different.
0113 10:06:45:08 10:06:48:06
They're all wearing
different clothes and stuff,
0114 10:06:48:06 10:06:51:19
and you hear this guy rambling on
next to you when you're being sold.
0115 10:06:51:19 10:06:53:04
Well done.
0116 10:06:53:04 10:06:57:04
Well done, AA. Give yourself a clap.
Can we have the furniture back?
0117 10:06:57:04 10:06:59:05
(cheering and clapping)
0118 10:07:00:00 10:07:04:04
(narrator) In English Jack's
currently assessed as level 3A,
0119 10:07:04:04 10:07:07:11
roughly three years
behind national expectation.
0120 10:07:07:11 10:07:11:01
So he gets occasional help
from a teaching assistant.
0121 10:07:11:01 10:07:14:12
"You may be wondering who I am
and why I'm not here."
0122 10:07:14:12 10:07:19:08
"Well, there's no easy way to say
this, so I'm just going to say it."
0123 10:07:19:08 10:07:20:20
"I am dead."
0124 10:07:20:20 10:07:23:13
(narrator) He's written a poem
about a haunted house,
0125 10:07:23:13 10:07:26:08
which the teaching assistant's
helping him punctuate.
0126 10:07:26:08 10:07:29:05
Read it as you say it.
So you think, "There'll be a break."
0127 10:07:29:05 10:07:31:21
Will there will be a full stop,
like a complete break,
0128 10:07:31:21 10:07:35:01
or is it just a small pause
for effect, to make the effect?
0129 10:07:38:18 10:07:43:03
Now, does that need
an exclamation mark or a full stop?
0130 10:07:43:03 10:07:45:03
- Full stop.
- OK.
0131 10:07:52:02 10:07:56:21
Don't put your head too close down
cos your writing's getting smaller.
0132 10:07:56:21 10:08:00:12
"Well", comma - that's for a pause.
0133 10:08:04:14 10:08:06:09
(children shouting)
0134 10:08:08:17 10:08:12:04
(narrator) French is Jack's
least favourite lesson.
0135 10:08:12:04 10:08:15:04
He has a target of level 3
at the end of year 8,
0136 10:08:15:04 10:08:18:16
but was last assessed
as working at 1C.
0137 10:08:19:22 10:08:22:00
Jack, can you take
your hat off, please?
0138 10:08:22:00 10:08:24:09
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Thank you.
0139 10:08:24:09 10:08:26:22
Jack, could you take
your hat off now?
0140 10:08:31:00 10:08:33:07
My hat.
0141 10:08:33:07 10:08:35:04
I love my hat very much.
0142 10:08:36:16 10:08:37:22
Mm.
0143 10:08:37:22 10:08:41:23
Most... Some teachers don't mind me
wearing my hat in class.
0144 10:08:41:23 10:08:45:11
Some teachers, like Miss Hartley,
ask me to take it off,
0145 10:08:45:11 10:08:49:03
but I don't take it off anyway
cos I don't get on with her.
0146 10:08:49:03 10:08:51:21
So I won't really do
what she says, will I?
0147 10:08:51:21 10:08:55:15
But other teachers I like,
if they ask me to take it off, I do.
0148 10:08:55:15 10:08:59:04
What we're going to do today is...
0149 10:08:59:04 10:09:02:12
I want to have a look at
the different transport
0150 10:09:02:12 10:09:07:07
connected with travelling
to and in Paris
0151 10:09:07:07 10:09:13:03
in order for us to be able to
speak about a holiday in Paris.
0152 10:09:13:03 10:09:19:00
And what you're going to do is
you're going on a Linguascope site
0153 10:09:19:00 10:09:23:05
and we're going to have a look at
"les moyens de transport",
0154 10:09:23:05 10:09:25:24
the different modes of transport.
0155 10:09:25:24 10:09:28:12
And by going through that...
0156 10:09:28:12 10:09:32:19
I've got a worksheet for you
on transport
0157 10:09:32:19 10:09:38:14
and I want you to match up the
different transport to the English
0158 10:09:38:14 10:09:44:06
so that you get to know what all the
different means of transport are.
0159 10:09:44:06 10:09:46:21
(Jack) All of these usually work.
0160 10:09:49:21 10:09:52:02
(boy) I ain't got a mouse.
I'll work with Jack.
0161 10:09:52:02 10:09:56:07
- Could you work with Jack, then?
- (Jack) He just said that.
0162 10:09:56:07 10:09:58:21
Have you got a pen,
or do you need to borrow one?
0163 10:09:58:21 10:10:00:15
(boy) I've got a pen.
0164 10:10:00:15 10:10:03:16
- Jack, do you need to borrow one?
- No, we can share.
0165 10:10:03:16 10:10:07:11
Right. Can you see what's going on?
0166 10:10:07:11 10:10:11:06
- Do you know any of those?
- That's that one.
0167 10:10:11:20 10:10:15:18
- Where's that?
- There's a moped, which is that.
0168 10:10:15:18 10:10:18:13
- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is. Look.
0169 10:10:18:13 10:10:19:23
Oh, yeah.
0170 10:10:32:13 10:10:34:17
What's the aeroplane?
0171 10:10:34:17 10:10:37:13
Have we got...? We ain't got
an aeroplane. Yeah, we have.
0172 10:10:37:13 10:10:39:16
"Un... avion."
0173 10:10:39:16 10:10:41:06
M...
0174 10:10:44:16 10:10:46:06
(mumbling)
0175 10:10:48:13 10:10:52:01
(narrator) The boys successfully
complete the task in five minutes,
0176 10:10:52:01 10:10:54:23
and the language site rewards them
with French puzzles.
0177 10:10:56:05 10:10:57:10
(boy) Put "e".
0178 10:10:59:13 10:11:03:04
(narrator) Jack plays on the site
for ten minutes.
0179 10:11:03:04 10:11:04:17
Ohhh!
0180 10:11:04:17 10:11:09:21
(Miss Hartley) I would like you
to go on to Languages Online
0181 10:11:09:21 10:11:13:11
and look at the exercise
there as well,
0182 10:11:13:11 10:11:16:24
because I want you to make sure
you know your transport
0183 10:11:16:24 10:11:19:15
and you can remember it
by next lesson.
0184 10:11:19:15 10:11:24:10
But you need to have worked through
all the exercises.
0185 10:11:24:10 10:11:27:10
(Jack) What I like about
skateboarding is the freedom,
0186 10:11:27:10 10:11:28:24
the relaxation.
0187 10:11:28:24 10:11:30:10
It's just so fun.
0188 10:11:30:10 10:11:34:14
If you fall off, you fall off.
Then you just get back on it again,
0189 10:11:34:14 10:11:37:01
like any normal person would.
0190 10:11:38:24 10:11:42:03
Fall over, get back on.
Fall over, get back on.
0191 10:11:42:03 10:11:44:07
Simple as that.
0192 10:11:44:07 10:11:48:22
- I do absolutely love freedom...
- (ringtone)
0193 10:11:48:22 10:11:54:04
- Is your one working again or not?
- (mumbling)
0194 10:11:54:04 10:11:56:16
- Can you come off that, please?
- Why?
0195 10:11:56:16 10:12:01:09
Because this is a French lesson
and I'd like you to do some French.
0196 10:12:01:09 10:12:02:14
Thank you.
0197 10:12:02:14 10:12:07:06
Have you finished the other work?
So it's
0198 10:12:20:14 10:12:25:14
I go for a run...
I also go for a run every day,
0199 10:12:25:14 10:12:31:12
around the field over there,
with my dog, for about an hour.
0200 10:12:31:12 10:12:36:21
Jogging around my certain route
for an hour.
0201 10:12:38:21 10:12:41:19
And try not to stop
as much as I can.
0202 10:12:41:19 10:12:47:11
I just take my dog with me.
She'll have a good time with me.
0203 10:12:47:11 10:12:50:17
I'm not passionate
about school, really.
0204 10:12:50:17 10:12:53:00
Jack, I want you to
move back now, please.
0205 10:12:53:00 10:12:56:04
If you don't, I will ask you
to leave the lesson.
0206 10:12:57:00 10:12:59:00
- Jack?
- What?
0207 10:12:59:00 10:13:01:11
Please move back
to your original seat.
0208 10:13:01:11 10:13:04:11
Why d'you want me to do that?
0209 10:13:04:11 10:13:09:18
Jack, it's not working. Please
move back to your original seat.
0210 10:13:15:12 10:13:17:11
OK, let's give you a hand.
0211 10:13:17:11 10:13:19:20
I'm fine.
0212 10:13:19:20 10:13:22:02
- Can you click on...
- I'm fine!
0213 10:13:22:02 10:13:26:02
- Right? I'm fine.
- Jack, please click on "En Ville".
0214 10:13:26:02 10:13:28:09
Now, if you go onto the introduction
0215 10:13:28:09 10:13:32:06
so that you can see the vocabulary
that happens in town.
0216 10:13:32:06 10:13:34:21
I'd like you to have a look at it.
0217 10:13:36:07 10:13:41:02
If you refuse to do your work,
I'm going to faculty-park you.
0218 10:13:41:02 10:13:42:19
- (Jack) Mm-hm.
- OK.
0219 10:13:46:23 10:13:50:02
Right. Are you going to
do your work or not, Jack?
0220 10:13:50:02 10:13:53:18
- Nope.
- You're not going to do your work?
0221 10:13:53:18 10:13:54:18
OK.
0222 10:13:56:15 10:14:01:18
Take your things and go to room 37,
and there's your worksheet. Please.
0223 10:14:01:18 10:14:04:23
That's a shame because you've had
quite a good lesson so far.
0224 10:14:04:23 10:14:08:03
It's a shame that you have refused
to do your work.
0225 10:14:08:03 10:14:09:13
Thank you.
0226 10:14:10:12 10:14:15:05
- (boy) Jack, you're doing half.
- OK.
0227 10:14:16:06 10:14:19:08
I quite enjoy being sent out
from Miss Hartley's group
0228 10:14:19:08 10:14:22:06
cos then it's not, like,
boring at all, is it?
0229 10:14:24:21 10:14:28:00
All I know is
I want to move up a group.
0230 10:14:28:00 10:14:31:11
My dad thinks... my family thinks
I should move up a group.
0231 10:14:31:11 10:14:35:21
I don't actually learn anything
in her class. It's all too easy.
0232 10:14:38:19 10:14:41:02
I used to be
one of the best in my class.
0233 10:14:43:13 10:14:47:13
I hate my teacher.
And we don't learn anything, so...
0234 10:14:57:10 10:15:01:00
(narrator) In art
year 8 are creating sculptures
0235 10:15:01:00 10:15:02:12
inspired by Giacometti.
0236 10:15:02:12 10:15:05:07
I still need to make a bass guitar.
0237 10:15:07:15 10:15:09:17
(teacher) Boys,
how are we getting on?
0238 10:15:09:17 10:15:12:09
What's your target?
What are you aiming to do today?
0239 10:15:12:09 10:15:13:18
What do you mean?
0240 10:15:13:18 10:15:17:06
Like at the beginning when I said
you're gonna set yourself a target.
0241 10:15:17:06 10:15:20:21
Something you're gonna
aim to do this lesson.
0242 10:15:20:21 10:15:24:10
- Finish all of the modrocks off.
- OK. And how...
0243 10:15:24:10 10:15:27:14
And fill in all the squares.
0244 10:15:27:14 10:15:30:10
- Good. Think you'll get there?
- Yes.
0245 10:15:30:10 10:15:32:11
I think maybe, just this lesson,
0246 10:15:32:11 10:15:36:12
cos we've only 15 minutes
of practical left,
0247 10:15:36:12 10:15:39:20
why don't you just focus on
the arms? I know, it goes so fast.
0248 10:15:39:20 10:15:45:01
What are you gonna do for your
hands? Cos these flaps can come off.
0249 10:15:45:01 10:15:49:18
- I'll take 'em off, then.
- Yeah. You could make a mitten...
0250 10:15:51:24 10:15:56:17
before you put it on,
where you make your shape.
0251 10:15:56:17 10:15:58:22
- Could I just take this bit off?
- Yeah.
0252 10:15:58:22 10:16:02:17
(boy) Make the waist more fat
or it looks like Victoria Beckham.
0253 10:16:03:10 10:16:06:22
And then work on
this shoulder here. Look.
0254 10:16:06:22 10:16:07:23
All right, yeah.
0255 10:16:07:23 10:16:10:07
Try and build it up
so it's a bit smoother.
0256 10:16:10:07 10:16:11:17
Lovely.
0257 10:16:14:12 10:16:17:13
If I were you, I would make the ball
the very last thing,
0258 10:16:17:13 10:16:19:02
cos everyone who's made balls
0259 10:16:19:02 10:16:22:06
has had them stolen and
probably thrown in someone's face.
0260 10:16:24:19 10:16:28:13
(Jack) And then
it was the end of the day.
0261 10:16:28:13 10:16:30:18
Came home on a skateboard.
0262 10:16:31:23 10:16:37:06
Didn't go to my detention cos I
do not much like my French teacher.
0263 10:16:37:06 10:16:39:13
She gave it to me.
0264 10:16:39:13 10:16:42:20
And... yeah, I came home.
0265 10:16:59:23 10:17:02:24
- Did you wash my PE kit?
- No. Do you need it, then?
0266 10:17:02:24 10:17:04:24
- Yeah.
- Right.
0267 10:17:06:04 10:17:08:13
I'll go and get it.
0268 10:17:08:13 10:17:11:05
You should ask this
the night before, Jack.
0269 10:17:11:05 10:17:14:13
Make sure you get your bag ready
the night before.
0270 10:17:14:13 10:17:18:15
- You've got detention after school.
- Yeah, OK.
0271 10:17:18:15 10:17:21:09
It's at 3:30. OK?
0272 10:17:21:09 10:17:24:04
- Yeah.
- See you later.
0273 10:17:25:09 10:17:29:14
(narrator) At primary
Jack achieved a level 3A in maths,
0274 10:17:29:14 10:17:33:11
slightly below
national expectations.
0275 10:17:33:11 10:17:36:04
He's currently assessed as 4B,
0276 10:17:36:04 10:17:38:21
slipping further behind.
0277 10:17:38:21 10:17:43:07
Is it equilateral, is it isosceles,
or is it scalene?
0278 10:17:43:07 10:17:48:11
(narrator) Today his class is
learning to construct triangles.
0279 10:17:48:11 10:17:50:11
Hands up for scalene.
0280 10:17:53:24 10:17:58:18
It wasn't the most exciting lesson
of them all.
0281 10:17:58:18 10:18:03:02
It's just... I find the maths...
0282 10:18:03:02 10:18:05:13
I mean, I used to
love maths so much.
0283 10:18:05:13 10:18:08:03
Now I just find it a bit dull.
0284 10:18:08:03 10:18:11:06
(teacher) First what we're gonna do
is construct triangles
0285 10:18:11:06 10:18:15:15
when we are given a side,
an angle and a side. OK?
0286 10:18:15:15 10:18:19:07
SAS - side, angle, side. All right?
0287 10:18:19:07 10:18:21:07
(narrator) Jack is short-sighted,
0288 10:18:21:07 10:18:25:00
so can't read the board
when he sits at the back.
0289 10:18:25:00 10:18:29:09
How many centimetres is it?
0290 10:18:29:09 10:18:33:07
We're gonna measure
an angle of 64 degrees.
0291 10:18:33:07 10:18:37:05
You'll have to count round on the
inside cos the zero's on the inside.
0292 10:18:37:05 10:18:39:23
Go around to 64...
0293 10:18:39:23 10:18:41:22
I have no clue
how to use these things.
0294 10:18:41:22 10:18:44:22
- This goes round like that.
- Does it?
0295 10:18:45:16 10:18:47:17
- (girl) Was it 64, sir?
- 64 degrees.
0296 10:18:47:17 10:18:50:08
- So it's there.
- Oh, I get it.
0297 10:18:50:08 10:18:51:23
Sir?
0298 10:18:52:20 10:18:55:21
Sir, how do you use these things?
0299 10:18:55:21 10:18:57:23
(teacher) Yeah, good.
0300 10:18:57:23 10:19:00:23
- Sir?
- OK. I'm gonna have a...
0301 10:19:00:23 10:19:05:06
- Sir, how do you use these things?
- So, first draw a line 6cm long.
0302 10:19:05:06 10:19:07:12
- OK?
- Across, or what?
0303 10:19:07:12 10:19:10:03
Straight in the middle.
That's fine like that.
0304 10:19:10:03 10:19:12:14
6cm is the same as 60mm. Right?
0305 10:19:12:14 10:19:14:04
So we draw our line.
0306 10:19:17:00 10:19:19:14
Right? Then you put your protractor,
0307 10:19:19:14 10:19:23:09
making sure that point there
is right on the line
0308 10:19:23:09 10:19:26:00
and it covers over it, like that.
0309 10:19:26:00 10:19:27:19
- Oh, I get it.
- It goes round.
0310 10:19:27:19 10:19:30:07
- How many angles do you need it?
- To 64 degrees.
0311 10:19:30:07 10:19:34:03
So go all the way around - there's
64 - and you do a little dash.
0312 10:19:34:03 10:19:37:22
Now, if you join that up, that'll
get you an angle of 64 degrees.
0313 10:19:37:22 10:19:40:00
(pupil) Sir, I need some help!
0314 10:19:40:00 10:19:43:07
(pupil #2) Sir,
I can't do these things.
0315 10:19:53:12 10:19:55:12
(narrator) It's parents' evening,
0316 10:19:55:12 10:19:59:02
and parents get their annual chance
to speak to subject teachers.
0317 10:19:59:02 10:20:01:07
You need to do this work.
0318 10:20:01:07 10:20:04:12
I don't know what it is
that prevents you from doing it.
0319 10:20:04:12 10:20:07:02
I don't know if it's
cos he's bored with maths...
0320 10:20:07:02 10:20:09:17
But he likes maths.
It's not like he doesn't like it.
0321 10:20:09:17 10:20:14:13
We can try different things
and hopefully it'll...
0322 10:20:14:13 10:20:18:12
And he has his glasses on
every lesson?
0323 10:20:19:16 10:20:22:15
Jack wears glasses.
0324 10:20:22:15 10:20:25:08
If he sits near the back,
he won't be able to see anyway.
0325 10:20:25:08 10:20:29:08
- I've never seen him in glasses.
- Were you not aware of that?
0326 10:20:29:08 10:20:32:02
They got broken.
0327 10:20:32:02 10:20:35:19
- You've got a spare set of glasses.
- Yeah, but then they got broken.
0328 10:20:35:19 10:20:38:03
That's not an excuse.
You can't concentrate.
0329 10:20:38:03 10:20:42:16
If you sit at the back, you cannot
see the front and what's going on.
0330 10:20:42:16 10:20:45:05
You could've just said
you couldn't see the board.
0331 10:20:45:05 10:20:47:09
He can't see the board
without glasses.
0332 10:20:47:09 10:20:52:01
There's no point him sitting at the
back. He's not gonna learn anything.
0333 10:20:53:02 10:20:56:09
(woman) He's always polite,
which is, I think, quite important,
0334 10:20:56:09 10:20:58:14
especially in a practical lesson.
0335 10:20:58:14 10:21:01:19
So I'm really pleased.
I think the sculpture here
0336 10:21:01:19 10:21:06:06
shows that, whether I think he's
listening or not, he is listening.
0337 10:21:06:06 10:21:09:17
That's what's really interesting,
when you see the work grow,
0338 10:21:09:17 10:21:12:07
because it comes to life.
0339 10:21:12:07 10:21:16:05
And I think, judging from this,
that you're enjoying it.
0340 10:21:16:05 10:21:19:09
Is this one of your best projects,
do you think?
0341 10:21:19:09 10:21:22:17
- Yeah, probably.
- Probably.
0342 10:21:22:17 10:21:25:05
He's a man of words. (laughs)
0343 10:21:25:05 10:21:30:05
Have you thought about what sort of
metallic finish you want to give it?
0344 10:21:30:05 10:21:32:05
Uh...
0345 10:21:32:05 10:21:37:05
Make the statue like a bronze
and do the guitar jet black.
0346 10:21:37:05 10:21:39:10
OK. That sounds good.
0347 10:21:39:10 10:21:42:19
His work shows that he's fully
understood the whole point of it.
0348 10:21:42:19 10:21:46:00
- I think it's very successful.
- That's really good.
0349 10:21:46:00 10:21:48:08
He likes art anyway.
Don't you? You enjoy art.
0350 10:21:48:08 10:21:50:03
- He likes drawing, so...
- Good.
0351 10:21:50:03 10:21:54:07
- Is the rest of his work fine?
- Yeah, yeah. I mean, homework...
0352 10:21:54:07 10:21:56:12
- It's a sore subject with Jack.
- Yes.
0353 10:21:56:12 10:21:59:15
- I don't think he has enough.
- Oh, really?
0354 10:21:59:15 10:22:03:21
Well, I haven't got
your homework in from this term.

- What homework's that?
- This is the sheet.
0356 10:22:06:03 10:22:08:08
So I can send you the sheet.
0357 10:22:08:08 10:22:09:20
Sorry, Jack.
0358 10:22:15:21 10:22:20:13
At the beginning of the spring term
he was given this sheet here.
0359 10:22:20:13 10:22:24:07
And before half term they're set
this, the three questions.
0360 10:22:24:07 10:22:27:08
Then, after half term,
they're set the final three.
0361 10:22:27:08 10:22:30:24
By the end of this project,
the six questions have to be done.
0362 10:22:30:24 10:22:34:02
So I'm still waiting for Jack's.
0363 10:22:34:02 10:22:39:15
- Have you got one of these?
- Can we take that, please?
0364 10:22:39:15 10:22:42:15
So it's all done
in his homework sketchbook,
0365 10:22:42:15 10:22:45:02
which you should have.
0366 10:22:47:19 10:22:51:16
I wear my glasses at home
all the time so I can see better.
