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.

Hello Leigh. Yes I have been to the building a few times and it really is impressive. I love going down there in Cardiff bay having fish and chips and sitting down and looking across the water. I have also been the other side to see the Barrage, thats very interesting too. Lovely entry Leigh I enjoyed it. Kathie.
