😂 Too Much Laughs With Our Hilarious Visitor 😂 by Jack

On a Thursday morning, a person by the name of Robert Rakate, and Henry visited Ruapotaka.

It was a bit unexpected, because Mrs Pederson said that as she was walking out of the staff room she saw them and invited them to our Duffy Assembly. Robert Rakate used to work for the Mai.FM radio station. 

We saw Henry last time, at Tamaki Primary School. They were both very entertaining and funny. The room filled with laughter, joy and excitement every time Robert Rakate stood up and said something. He told us stories about his favourite stories and his year eight son. His favourite book growing up was Astrix. I have never heard of that book, but it sounds pretty interesting.

He inspired me to keep reading books in the near future and stay on my 'A' Game. When we recieved our Duffy Books (My last one for Ruapotaka School) it reminded me of all the memories of the other Duffy Books I had while growing up. 👍

Duffy Assembly by Quros

On Friday afternoon the school had to go to the Multipurpose room for a special Duffy Assembly. I was chosen to say a short Thank You speech to our special guest Ravinder. Firstly everyone had to be seated until Meana, one of our Year 7 prefects led our visitor into the Multipurpose. When she came in everyone had to be very quiet, next Mrs Pederson introduced her to our school and then she had introduced herself. 

Ravinder had talked about how reading is important and a little bit about herself. After that we had sang the Duffy Song. Next I had to get up and say my speech in front of Ravinder. 

My Speech To Ravinder:
"On behalf of Ruapotaka School I would like to say, 'Thank You Ravinder'  for coming here and talking and advising us about reading. Just as reading is important to you reading is also important to us. I think it's a great idea that you're a part of the Duffy Programme because now we get to receive our Duffy Books."
