Our Duffy Star

At Picton School, we are lucky to be a Duffy School. That mean's we are part of a nationwide programme which helps to get great books into the homes of the children so they have more opportunities to learn to read.

A couple of times a year, the children get to make their own selection from a range of books that they can then keep for their very own.

Last week we had a special Duffy Assembly, which meant that a special guest came to our assembly and presented a special award to some of the children in the school in recognition of their hard work and doing their personal best.

This time the Marlborough Mayor, Alistair Sowman, came to make the presentations. We got to see his "Mayoral Chains" and some of the children even got to try them on!

At this assembly, Tom was awarded a special Duffy Book for improved reading and writing.

CONGRATULATIONS TOM!
