Max in the UK

Max arrived at Gatwick airport in the UK with Mrs S. He spent four days looking around London and he made a new friend. His name is Sam.

Can you guess where Max is?



This is a house where a lady by the name of Anne once lived. Her husband wrote many plays. His name was William. Do you know who it is?



This is a special place where a guard would stand. What type of place do you think it might be?


Max stood on a very, very old wall. The wall is made of stone and is very famous. The name of the wall starts with "H". Do you know where Max is?


Max visited a home of a Duke, his wife the Duchess and their five children. They all live in a castle. It is very, very big and very old. Do you think you would like living in a castle?



Max visited a city in Scotland and walked to the top of a very high hill. On top of the hill is a Castle. Max sat on one of the cannons that were used to protect the people who once lived in the castle. The name of this City starts with "E". Can you guess where Max was?

Max meets a new friend in the Underground

When Max was in London, he caught a train that went under the ground. While he was waiting for a train, he met a little girl and her grandmother who were at the "Underground" station called "Oval". Max can't remember her name but she was wearing a red scalf and had long blonde hair. She was 7 years old, was on holidays from school and was learning all about the advertisements seen near the station. Max wanted to say hello.



Max visited London and saw this building. The bell in the tower has a special name. Do you know what it is? It starts with "B"



As Max was walking along the River Thames, he saw a very long car. It was called a stretch limousine. Max asked if he could sit in the car. The man said yes. Doesn't Max look happy?

On October 26, Max went by bus and two trains to a town named Windsor. A very special family live in Windsor. Can you guess who they are?
Mrs S took Max up to a guard and told him that Max was from a school in Australia and she knew he could not speak to her (they must not tlak to anyone when they are on duty). When the guard heard her say this, he changed the way he was standing. Mrs S said "Thank You". Max felt very special.

Max also went into a special room called "Queen Mary's Doll's House" There was a huge doll's house that was made for Queen Mary as a present. It was very special. The guard outside the room held Max so he could have his picture taken with her. Thank You.

Hello, Max.- We have been reading your blog. We live near a town in Surrey (UK) called Redhill and there is a school called St Bede's there. Isn't that a coincidence? From Eloise and her Granny

Max has visited other countries. Which of these countries have you visited?
