NYOR School Ambassadors - St Paul's Primary School

National Year of Reading (NYOR) School Ambassadors

Students featured in this blog post are students that have been selected as NYOR ambassadors from St Paul's Primary School. As ambassadors these students have written about what their favourite book is and why they like reading.

Adrianna Zoric - Year 5

My favourite book is.... Ravens Mountain by Wendy Orr. I really enjoy reading this book because of how deeply it takes you into the story. The whole point of a book is to engage you into the story and I strongly believe that this book achieves this very thoroughly. This book is another of Wendy's wonderful range of books that have amazed all of us through her content and description of characters. I personally recommend this book due to how wonderful and how creative it is.

I enjoy reading because.... you can enter another world with different characters and use your own imagination.


Anisia Zbiljic - Year 5

My favourite book is.... Horse Mad by Kathy Helidioniotis, I like this book because I also love horses and it is written in detail and the main character is about my age. Horse Mad is a serial and I get lost into that book every time I read it, no matter what is going on around me.

I love reading because.... it takes me to a different world. Reading is also relaxing and calming. I love reading because everywhere around you there are words that amaze, distract and  make you wonder. No matter what you do, if you come across a word you HAVE to read it!


Isabelle Borg - Year 5
My favourite book is...... Alice - Miranda in New York. This is my favourite book because Alice - Miranda is so much like me and many others I know. She is quite out there and is always looking to solve a problem. All of the Alice - Miranda series are great but this one really stood out to me. Alice - Miranda makes many bright and interesting friends as well as having a fun time in new york.

I love reading because.... it is very entertaining and you can go into another world.
