Duffy Role Model Assembly

This week, there was Duffy role model assembly. A guest called Jamie Wall came to talk to us about his job as a sports commentator. Jamie Wall has wrote a book called "Brothers in Black", which is one of the top best selling book in New Zealand. Jamie was inspired by reading the Men in Black book of the rugby history in NZ. Jamie Wall has been reporting about rugby on the Maori Television, news hub, stuff and many other companies. As Jamie is a sports commentator he will be leaving to Japan to report the rugby world cup for the Maori Television. Once Jamie talked to us about his job, he handed out our Duffy books. The Duffy books that I got were "Lost In Antarctic" and "My D-Days". I am really excited and look forward to reading my books. A big thank you to Duffy for providing our books. We really appreciate it.

Duffy Assembly

Today the whole school and I had Duffy assembly. We had it in the hall. We had a few guest to visit our school. Our guests were Tayla Hodson Tomokino, Matt Johnson and a lady that was from mainfreight. Tayla Hodson Tomokino and Matt Johnson told us what they do on the stage. They also told us some other cool things about their selves and they told us how reading makes you famous. When Tayla was young she used to be awesome a BMX rider. She won 4 awards in 4 years in a row. She was a champion at BMX and she was the 2nd best at the international BMX. Tayla is now a accountant, a interviewer and a commentator. Tayla played touch rugby because she wanted to play other sports. Matt is a rugby players who plays for the blues. One of the hardest teams the Blues played against was Melbourne Storms. Tayla's future plans are to complete law and wants to help sport people with contractors. Tayla reads books about the law and rules about what she wants to do, so it can help her succeed. Matt's future plans are to be a P.E teacher. Matt will read books about rules of being a P.E teacher and other things about Matt's future plans. Tayla and Matt asked if we had questions for them to answer. I learnt a lot of interesting things about Tayla Hodson Tomokino and Matt Johnson. When Tayla and Matt finished talking, they handed out books to each class. After we went back to class and then Tayla and the lady from mainfreight visited LS1. We asked more questions, so we could get to know them more better. Tayla answered some questions. At the end Tayla and the lady from mainfreight handed out our books to us. I had a lot of fun learning about Tayla and Matt. I didn't even know that they played rugby and other things.
