It’s the first week of the summer holidays which means Harry has finished his first full year at school in America. He was lucky enough to have his first year in a completely brand spanking new school. Across this first year he has picked up a bit of an American twang – although not as much as we thought he would – and made a lot of new friends.
Now it is the turn of Harry to tell us what he thought of his first year – the Harry view. So without further ado, here we go…
