get the inquit out of the way first - he said:
who did he speak to? pueri. This is a teacher. he probably shouted: Boys!
so, the rest if it:
nolite excitare [remember excitare can mean 'wake up' as well as other things - are you checking this in your dictionary?]
totam urbem
so you've got that bit " nolite (don't) excitare totam urbem"
and how would they wake everyone up? Use common sense AND dictionary:
tanti clamores.
After shutting them up, what does he want them to do?
Intrate celeriter.
see, easy isn;t it.
