Well, we're not very good singers.

- Yes, you are.

- We are.

- No, we're not.

- Santa, nobody likes us any more.

Please help us win the

Song for Christmas.

I will try and make that wish come true.

I will do that, Mr Poppy.

Close your eyes and wish.

I think that's a very

good wish, that is.

With all that effort, I think

we might be able to get there.

Thank you.

Now, listen up, guys, OK?

Do not mention Song for Christmas.

What Song for Christmas?

All for one and one for all!

Mr Poppy.

- OK?

- Mm-hm.

I feel like I've got an apology to make.

I'm really sorry about what happened.

It was basically a dare

that got out of hand.

- It was a dare?

- Mm.

- Who dared you?

- One of the children basically dared me

and I don't know if you know about dares

but you've got to do the dare.

If you don't do the dare it turns into

a double dare, then triple, quadruple,

and the last time that happened,

we lost a child.

- Right.

- Just so you know,

I've been with this class now

for a couple of years.

- No, I understand that.

- You know, we're not really a class,

- we're like a family.

- Sure.

I'm like the Dad of the family,

they're like my children.

We're willing to let you audition

for role of Mum.

OK, that's not how it's going to work.

What we're going to do now

is we're going to get the kids' coats off.

You're going to hang your parka up,

we're all going to come in here

and get to know each other. How's that?

- Hello, what's your name?

- Sam.

- Do you want to slip your hat off?

- Sorry, this is a lucky hat.

You can't take that off. She wears that

in the bath, for dinner, in lessons.

Mr Poppy, Mr Poppy, shh, shh.

Sam.

Whoa, she's betrayed the hat.

It's just a hat, guys.

OK, boys and girls,

lovely to meet you all.

My name is Mr Peterson and now

I've got to get to know all of you.

What's this class been working on?

Yes.

Yeah, we've been doing a song,

writing for Song for Christmas.

What Song for Christmas?

- What?

- What Song for Christmas?

- What Song for Christmas?

- What did you blurt that out for?

- What is that?

- It's a national competition.

All the schools are entering it.

It's nationwide.

The only thing is,

you've got to sign this to enter us

because we need a proper teacher

with a PGCD, whatever you've got.

So if you put your teacher's email there,

signature, we can get that in the post.

- Why has no teacher signed this already?

- Because Mrs Bevan doesn't want us to go.

Mr Poppy, if Mrs Bevan has said no,

then...

- It's not far. It's just Wales.

- Wales?

Yeah, it's great.

There's a castle. It's in a castle.

Look, it's my first day here.

I can't be signing forms, allowing you to
