NYLD 2015


What did you think of NYLD 2015. Give your opinion and reasons why you hold these opinions (at least 4 sentences).

It wasn’t that nice at the start of the day because we had to get to school at 5:00 and the bus ride was 3 and a half hours to get there, not including the toilet stops. It also was really annoying how some school got an AMAZING picture from a speaker because of how long they travelled, but they were closer to NYLD then us. It was a great experience for all the  year 6s because we got to listen to all the AMAZING speakers. All the speakers had their own story, which was better than all the stories the same.


Who was your favourite speaker and why? (Describe in at least 4 sentences).Image result for chris jupp

My favourite speaker was Chris Jupp. He thought only of himself when he joined the 2011 40 Hour Famine because he wouldn’t have to go to school. But then he looked at a video about kids in Mongolia and how they starved, so he did it for the kids and was made the leader of the 40 Hour Famine at his college. He was a man who gave up stuff for other people.


What have you learnt about being a leader? (At least 4 sentences).

Don't give up because you'll never achieve anything if you give up. Leadership is not about you being the leader, but the people around you. There is no I in team. If you say you're the best, you're not the best because you BRAG.


How could you use this learning here at school? (At least 4 sentences)

I could use this to help people out around the school. I could stop people doing the wrong thing. I could use it at road patrol. And I will.


Action points - something I am going to work on (a goal) from NYLD:using integrity more often


My favourite quotes were (remember to say who said them):we can change the world.

Math COPE

This week I have been doing well with my math because I can now convert improper fractions to mixed number and vice versa because of Khan Academy. I should of been open minded to textbook work because that way I would of been able to understand my other learning goals in math. I had an honest chat with Mr A about not doing textbook work and I must do it from now on because otherwise I won't be able to achieve my learning goal properly.

Here is an example of my learning goal. 1 1/4 = 5/4 because 1x4=4+1=5 so that makes 5/4
