Kia ora bloggers. Today Paihia School had a Duffy Book Assembly. Paihia School is very fortunate to be a part of the Duffy Books programme. The Duffy Books programme is a company that gives books to schools for free. Our special guest for the assembly today was Rebecca Brothers. Rebecca Brothers was an Olympian and competed in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Her sport was swimming. Rebecca Brothers has now retired from swimming and is a police officer which she has been for 10 years. Something I learnt from Rebecca Brothers is that becoming a Olympian isn’t easy and that I wouldn’t want to be one (because of how early I would have to wake up).
After Rebecca Brothers talked to us a bit about her life, gave out some books to a few students and then we had to sing the Duffy Kids song. Then the assembly ended, which meant we got our books. The two books I got was one about a New Zealand Army officer during D-Day and the other book I got was about a plane crash and something was on it that’s after a kid because he knows the truth. The books that I have got are sound very interesting so I look forward to reading them.
