Duffy Role Model Assembly

It was our Duffy role model assembly and we all walked excitedly to the hall. Each class wrapped their box of books in pretty paper. It looked like a present. Our Duffy role model was Jaqui Knight. She writes articles for newspapers and magazines. Her passion is reading and adventure. She loved horses and she went to the library and read every book on horses she could find. Jaqui told us a story about a man who climbed the mountains with his horses. She had a dream that one day she will climb the mountain of New Zealand with her horse. Her other passion was motor sport. Jaqui loved a man who liked cricket, but she hated cricket so she went to the library and learnt about cricket by reading books. She was also concerned about the monarch butterflies flying from New Zealand to Mexico and the sad thing was the trees that the monarch butterflies were sitting on are being chopped down. I learnt that by reading I can have lots of adventures.
