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.

7. 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…

8. 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!!

9. 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!
