The School @ Columbia Uni




Great to see so many posts. Thanks everyone! Check your email account for a reply.

Well, I’ve just visited a place called The School at Columbia University and it’s fantastic. The sorts of things they do are really similar to what we do at Otford. The School itself is quite different though. It occupies a 6 storey building in upper Manhattan in New York City, and the only playground the kids have is a small rooftop space with padded flooring. Check it out in the photo. I’ve picked up a lot of great ideas from what they do and there is a year 4 class (pictured) who would like to send us an email. They use KidPix and iMovie to do some really cool things.

Have a look at their website on the list to the right.

The other night Jutta and I went to see a Broadway show called Mamma Mia. It was brilliant! There’s so much to see and do in NY. It’s the sort of place I could come back to over and over. Onto London now!

Hi Mr Holmes,

How is America?
I read reagns msg and it is so not true and there is so much spelling that is wrong. We don't do a maths teast all lunch if we are bad we just get the name on the board if we are bad again we get a cross next to the name and if we are bad again we get to do a time out sheet and if we are bad again then we miss out on lunch. If we are good we get tickets and at the end of the day we have a draw and if your ticket number comes up you get a dip in the dippy bag Every one wants a dip in teh dippy bag.

P.S Are we going to get the laptops
