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.

Erin Creber - Year 1

                                   

 My favourite book is: “Daisy and the Trouble with Kittens” by Kes Gray.

I like it because it is about kittens. She says the trouble with …  and then goes on to tell a story. Daisy makes lots of new friends when she goes on holiday to Spain. She finds the kitten there. It makes me laugh and it has funny pictures in it.

Why I like reading?

I like to learn from reading information books. Some books can make me feel happy when I am sad. I enjoy reading to other people, my teddy, Grandma, Mum and Dad.

Breanna Craig - Year 4

My first real favourite book is:  “Treasure Island” by R.L.Stevenson

I like it because it was adventurous, descriptive and interesting. You never knew what was going to happen next. It has lots of events that go quickly and keep you interested.

Why I like reading?

It improves my vocabulary and my mind. I like how it puts you in another place. I like each book I read because it is really different.

Mitchell Oyston - Year 6

My favourite book is: "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini

 

I’ve read it over and over and I never get bored. It’s full of mystical dragons and a love story is in there too. There are lots of different mysteries that find the answers to which present more mysteries to solve. I really like that.

The Eragon series is about a poor, young, farm boy in the mountains who finds an egg and the story links him with Brom, the storyteller of their village.

Why I like reading?

I like reading because I can picture whatever story I’m reading in my head like I’m watching TV. I like reading also because it is really easy to find information in factual books and I can read almost every word fluently. Reading helps me pass the time and allows me to block out outside distractions. The more I read the easier it gets! Reading also allows me to write stories with more description and detail.
