Duffy Assembly

Tuesday 31st March, 2015, was Pakaraka School's Duffy assembly. James Jennings was our Duffy role model, he asked children questions and sang the Duffy song. 

Other guests were Pam and Sandy from a local church in Kerikeri, they donated our Duffy books and helped give them out to students at the assembly.

Willow-Jean Prime was another guest speaker, she brought her mum, Addy, and baby daughter, Hihana along. Willow-Jean said that her and her husband read to baby Hihana all the time. They read in both English and Maori, how cool is that!

Here are some Duffy facts: Alan Duff is the founder of Duffy Books. Duffy Books got its name by using Alan's surname and just added the letter 'y'. Duffy is the main character in all Duffy theatre plays. Alan gives books to children at low decile schools.

Children at Pakaraka School love reading Duffy Books and get really excited when Duffy and his friends visit our kura. We can't wait until you come back again Duffy!
