Duffy Assembly

While the children were singing the Duffy song, our Duffy Role Model,Christine Fernyhough walked into the hall with Mr Swann and the King's College students. Krisharti introduced Christine Fernyhough. Christine is a business woman, sheep farmer, educator and an author. She lives at Castles Hill Station. Christine co-founded the Duffy Books in Home Programme with Alan Duff. She talked about the Nike slogan "Just do it". Three lucky students who answered the questions correctly got a pair of Nike socks. Christine then showed us her Can Do Jar. It contained messages of things you are going to try and do. The children listened carefully as she read her book "Dart of Castle Hill". Christine and the King's College students gave out the box of Duffy books to happy children. By Ashleen Raj

Keeping Ourselves Safe

We all waited quietly as Constable Jo walked into our class. She is a police education officer and she came to our class to talk about keeping ourselves safe. Constable Jo talked about keeping good and bad secrets. We watched a DVD called Jane and Uncle Jo. The DVD was all about Uncle Jo keeping secrets with Jane. Jane tells her mum but her mum won't listen so Jane tells her Grandad. I learned not to keep bad secrets, especially when someone does something to you and you don't like it. We must tell someone about it, so that we can get help. By Julie
