You Got To Be A Bookworm To Be Reading! by Henry

Everyone likes reading?! Well I do.

A person named Denzal discussed how he used to read. I said to my little but developing brain of mine, "Wait, every time I do a blog, everyone is reading it, which means I may be assisting little youngsters stretching their own vocabulary."

During his talk,  Denzal asked what our hobbies were and what we liked to do for pleasure. 

When he asked that question I was thinking of how I help kids extend their reading skills by just writing this post.

What do I do for pleasure besides playing video games all day? Writing. This made me think of what I want to be in the future. I want to be an author in 10 years' time. 

And no-one can stop YOU if you're DETERMINED to follow your dream.

Duffy Award. Caught being good- By Leanah

On Monday the 11th of June I received a caught being good book. I received it at a school assembly, in front of the whole school. My teacher chose me because at reading time I had answered all her question that she had asked me with all the correct answers. I was allowed to chose the book that I wanted to read, so I chose Rocket And Groot!!!!

🥇Duffy Award!!🥇 by Saluselo

On Monday, we had a whole school assembly as usual. One of the items that occur is when Mrs Vickers gives out the Duffy books and certificate to the pupils who have been doing well in their reading, writing or other subjects.

She called out the room numbers one by one: 9, 10,11 and 12. It was their turn to receive the Duffy books. The teachers had a good think about who they were going to chose. Finally,  Mr Reid picked Mary and Mrs Golder picked Saluselo which is me because I did well in my reading. I moved up a reading group as well as my reading level.

When I went up to get my award, I felt nervous. This is my 5th Duffy book award. Afterwards, Mrs Vickers congratulated me by shaking my hand and gave me a Spirit Animals book which is my favourite book.

When I looked at my book, I thought to myself, 'now I have two books like these.' I was proud of myself for doing well!

Using their WALT: Discuss ideas and information that are communicated not so clearly and to make inferences by taking and using several pieces of information that are related in the text, the Plums Reading Group had to: Turn a poem into a narrative .

This is their interpretation of the poem.

Here is the original poem.

Duffy Book Award

My Duffy Award

On the 9th of March at assembly I was awarded with a book for ‘Caught Being Good” at Reading. I was very impressed with myself because I always enjoy a good book. I love reading especially when I have a lot of them to read. Mrs Golder chose me because I did my homework reading all the time.

My award was a book given by Duffy who supports our school. The book awarded to me is called ‘ROCCO’. I still yet have to read it all. It says that the character was transported to another time and place.

Everyday I read at least half a chapter.  I have plenty of time to read it. I love my Duffy Books!
