Carver Academy
Welcome to Carver
Hollywood
Thank you to everyone who has posted a response on the blog. It's fantastic getting them. Check your emails because I've replied to you that way.
I have just spent the most unbelievable day at a Los Angeles school called Carver Academy. The welcome they prepared was amazing. The classes had made welcome posters with kangaroos and Australian flags and these were displayed around the school. There was a whole school assembly where I was introduced and made to feel very special.
They have document cameras in each classroom that can project anything onto a screen. We’ll have to get some of them. The amount of computers they use is incredible and the kids really know what they’re doing. They teach each other and do it really well. They’re into GarageBand and iMovie, and watching them at work has given me some new ideas. One of the year 6 classes saw our podcast and was very impressed. They’d like to send us some emails.
Betty Hyatt is in charge of technology and she took me around the school. Betty and the whole staff are amongst the friendliest people I’ve ever met and it makes me want to stay in the US a lot longer. Unfortunately, I have to move on early in the week to New York and then to England. Luckily I had a little time today to visit Hollywood but I didn't see any movie stars.

Hi Peter
Glad to hear you are having fun and getting loads of ideas for here. We'd better raise a lot of money from the walkathon this week to pay for all the new stuff!!
Take care

Hi Mr. Holmes,
Our class, Room 4 (year 5) at Carver very much enjoyed reading about your grand journey. How fantastic that you get the chance to visit so many different places and their schools.
Raena and Heather say "HI!" We are all excited about starting our own web blogs, and keeping in touch that way.
We look forward to reading about your adventures as you post them.
Sincerely,
Room 4
