To celebrate 30 years of Duffy books in homes Panmure Bridge hosted a celebration. I helped by bringing a giant Duffy to life with the help of some others. We started by using a projector to trace Duffy and carefully painted each section seperatly. When we finally cut him out we placed him on a stand for everyone to see. To celebrate Duffy books in homes we were given the opportunity to create our own book library’s to store all of our Duffy books. Every other class created their own books aswell and we set them out in the hall for decoration.
We had special guests from the Duffy books in home programe and they talked about their experience with Duffy books and their favourite books. Some of the teachers also shared their favourite books. We sang Happy birthday is English as well as Maori, and also sung the Duffy sign with actions.
I found this fun because Duffy books in homes is a program that helps many schools who don’t have the oppourtunity to read books.
