Isabel
I always feel my birthday is a special day in the year, because my parents do the best
to make it wonderful But this year it was absolutely fantastid They took me to the new
theatre in the city to see a show with lots of singing and dancing. It was amazing! We
Invited my friends and we had a brilliant time. I was so tired at the end that I slept all the
way home in the car!
Richard
Lots of good things happened this year but the best thing was that I passed all my
exams. I studied really hard all year and I was feeling quite confident but when it came
to the actual exams. I was so nervous. My parents were so pleased that they gave me
some extra pocket money. Soon I'll be able to buy the new bicycle that I want. I can't
waitt
Alice
My sister went to university to study engineering in September. Before she left, we
had a party to say goodbye. She didn't want a big party so it was just family and a
few friends in the garden. It was a really fun afternoon. The weather was fantastic, the
music was great and everyone was dancing and having a really good time. I even got
up and danced, too, which is really unusual!
Luke
Stepping off the plane at Sydney Airport and knowing that a great adventure was
about to begin that was the best bit of my year and the start of my travels. I know
everyone wants to go to Australia during their year out but I've got family there so it
made sense to go there first and then decide what to do. I ended up staying there for
most of the year because I got a job on a fam.
Grace
I've always written, ever since I can remember.poems and short stories, and Mum
has always encouraged me to enter competitions. It's good practice, and teaches you
how to keep going even when you're not always successful. So imagine how great!
felt when I heard that I'd won a national writing competition. The prize was a tablet so I
take that everywhere with me now instead of my old notebooks.
I'm a tennis fan so the greatest day of my year was the day I met Rafael Nadal. We got
tickets for a tennis tournament and we actually watched him play. I was waiting around
afterwards, taking a few photos, and saw him as he came off the tennis court. He was
really friendly and signed my tennis magazine. To me, he's the greatest player in
the world!
