During October half term I was lucky enough to fly to the USA and explore Baltimore! Here I visited many different schools, including elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. I was welcomed into each and every school I visited and found out so much. It was a fantastic experience; American schools really are very exciting!

On the days I was not visiting schools, I was able to visit many other fantastic places. I went to Philadelphia and shot hoops on an outdoor basketball court (Mrs Sweeney would have been very proud) and I also visited Washington DC. Here I managed to sneak a peek at the White House and other political buildings. Unfortunately, Barak Obama wasn't available on the day, a shame as I'm sure he would have loved to find out all about Brighton Avenue!

I really had a super time and would love to tell you all about it. If you have any questions about schools in America or are interested in finding out more about my trip, post a comment and I'll get back to you! In the menatime, take a look at some of my photographs taken in Washington DC. Can you spot the White House?
