My Extraodinary Day at NYLD!

Last week Thursday, on the 25th of May, all the year sixes, including myself, rode on a bus to NYLD, which stands for National Young Leaders Day. It was fantastic!
We went there to hear what the speakers there would want to say to us.

A lot of schools went there as well, and the speakers told  that if we want to achieve something, we have to never give up! How we all did that was that we were all being capable and quiet so we could hear what the speakers were talking about.

My favourite part of the day was that we could get a book and a NYLD pen so when the speakers were talking, we could write in the book about what they were talking about and we could write the questions that we wonder about inside of the book. We also learn some new words that we didn't know about.

Next time I go there, maybe if the speakers were still there, I could them them that it was really fun and I liked learning new words and also finding out what they meant.

I was very, very, very Enthusiastic!!!
