Christopher's Column

RUDDICK TOURS 'Great Tours of Britain'

Christopher's Column for all Kids .. Issue No. 3 July 2005

Hi!

My name's Christopher. I'm 9 years old and I live in London, England and this is my column for kids. I go to Deanesfield School in South Ruislip, click here to visit our school website >>

Every month I will be adding some new stuff to my column, so please add me to your Favourites and come back again to see what's happening. There will also soon be a new feature about things you want to see which you think will be interesting for Kids aged 8 - 18. So if you have a hobby or interest that you would like to see up here let me know and I'll get my Dad to include it. If your parents don't know you're seeing this please show my page to them and always ask permission before ever sending e-mails to guys you don't know (it's a grown ups thing...).
