Today I went to my first Duffy Books in Homes assembly at Riverslea school. I have been a participant in grandparent reading at Riverslea School since the beginning of the year. I am able to do this as I don’t start teaching on Fridays until noon. Grandparent reading is a Havelock North Rotary project that the club has been doing for over eleven years. Six regulars turn up each Friday morning and listen to students reading, as grandparents. Last year, Rotary New Zealand began their “dictionary project”, funding dictionaries annually to Year 6 students leaving school to go to their respective intermediate schools.

 Riverslea, Lucknow and Waimarama are the schools our club cares for and give dictionaries to this year. Last year, Lucknow and Riverslea students received dictionaries. This morning, after we presented the dictionaries, selected students are awarded their books, courtesy of the Duffy Books in Homes Trust. These assemblies happen three times a year, with Rotarians attending.
