Why I love Lego

I love Lego as it’s fun to build and there are lots of different designs you can make. Playing with Lego is quite relaxing and you can either play on your own or with your friends.

I collect Lego City and Harry Potter and I have a large collection of mini-figures.

Here is Chase McCain, who is a policeman who features in Lego City Undercover and here are the vehicles that I have brought in today:

Legoland Resort UK

In March this year, we visited Legoland Resort in Windsor, near London. It was really exciting and there were a lots of

models relating to other countries and there were also life sized creations, as shown

below…

Legoland Resort USA

In August next year, we are going on holiday to Florida and we will visit the new Legoland

Resort near Orlando. I hope it is just as exciting and interesting as the one here in the UK. There is also a Legoland water park

and I can’t wait to splash about and get wet!!

Collectable Figures

Every year, the Lego company bring out a new set of collectable mini-figures. For

example, in Series 10, Mr Gold was created as the rarest mini-figure ever, as only 5000

were ever made!

Thank you for watching and listening to my presentation; I hope you enjoyed it!!
