A Trip to the Senedd

Where do I start?  Ah yes, last Thursday, as a member of the Rhondda Youth Forum, we visited the new Welsh Assembly Building in Cardiff.  It is called “the Senedd” and it’s where the Welsh Assembly Government makes all-important political decisions.

 

I was quite excited as I had never been there before.  The building is made entirely out of natural resources, so it is eco-friendly.  I was surprised to find the place had no lights, and relied entirely on natural sunlight for brightness.

 

We were asked if we would like to sit in to observe a Committee meeting.  We all were very keen to see what goes on.  I thought it was very long, but very interesting to know what policies are going to be implemented in the future.  Some people said I looked like the nodding dog from the “Churchill car insurance” commercials because I agreed with most things they said.

 

I was given the opportunity to talk with the new Children’s Commissioner for Wales.  I took my digital camera hoping to take some photographs.  But unfortunately we were not allowed.  I’ve no idea why but, I've found a link online.  So, sit back and take a tour of this magnificent building.
