Six Kaitoke School pupils are the proud new owners of their own illustrated dictionaries.
The pupils - Kyla Manville, Reid Ross, Bradley Belton, Jake Goldsbury and Alexandra Nicoloff - are the latest batch of pupils at the school to receive dictionaries, which were handed out at a recent school assembly.
Kaitoke School principal Sarah McCord said she was delighted when Rotary Wanganui offered to donate dictionaries to the school.
She decided to give the dictionaries to pupils who showed particular promise in writing skills.
For the past six months, five pupils per month - one in each class - received a dictionary each.
"We had one boy who was so happy to receive a dictionary that he took it into the playground at lunch time and wouldn't let go of it," Mrs McCord said.
