I enjoy seeing the animals and going to the Cafe.  Before Covid I often met my Grandparents there.  There are also outdoor spaces which I enjoy exploring.  I like to look at the little pond and see the fish.

After a game there are lots of people outside and a great atmosphere, it does get quite noisy. I go with my dad and to get to there is a really nice walk.

It looks really pretty lit up at night and I’ve had multiple birthday dinners there. I’ve been to the theatre or gone shopping and then gone there for a meal. My favourite thing to eat there is definitely the dough balls. ]]> 2021-05-15 14:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1527133824 maghea14 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1527248227 My favourite building in our local area is the church near the school because I love all of designs on the buildings.

Especially near the green house. As you keep walking you can come across unexpected things, including the tree of lost things where the people who work there hung lots of different items from the branches, there was even a bicycle half way up the tree!]]> 2021-05-16 09:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1528138404 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1528370922 My favourite building in my local area is the Cambridge train station. I used to love watching all the trains go by and looking at all the platforms. Also I enjoy looking at the platform screen which shows all the times of the trains arrival and departure. The huge dome shaped windows outside the train station are visible from a long way away. ]]> 2021-05-16 12:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1528370922 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1528512836 My favourite building in my local area is Queens college because I love walking over the mathematical  bridge into the college and I have lots of memories of visiting the gardens there.

I like the lions that sit on the plinths at the front of the building. My favourite room in it is the room full of china pots and an owl. The room is always quite quiet because not many people like it as much as the other rooms.]]> 2021-05-17 15:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1531682612 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1531697316 My favourite building in Cambridge is Kettle's Yard because it's so peaceful and it's a place where people can go and learn about new things. I find it so lovely that the owner of the house made it into a wonderful museum in  Cambridge. In every corner of the house there is something to always look at! Students also use their break time to go and see the incredible sights in the small museum. Everything is put in their places for a reason, and the art work is absolutely amazing, it would have taken so long to make. I hope it is there forever!    ]]> 2021-05-17 15:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1531697316 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1531760633 My favourite building in the local area is our village church. I walk past it every day on the way to school and I have noticed so many little details like funny inscriptions on gravestones and the little window at the side of the building. The church looks most stunning in Winter when it snows and I love participating in the Christmas Nativity!]]> 2021-05-17 15:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1531760633 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1532011407 My favourite building in the local area is West Wratting livery yard because I spend many happy times there and keep my pony there. It also interests me because the building has a lot of history, it was built in the 1950s as a dairy but the owners renovated it into a yard in about 2000.  It now has a tack room, indoor arena and 20 good sized stables.  The picture shows the pony barn and the entrance into the main building.

Henry the VI's plans got disrupted due to the War of the Roses, and the resulting in the scarcity of funds. The collage was opened in 1446. It is special to me because mum and dad got married there. I also like the exquisite stonework design, the stain glass windows and architecture. I can also appreciate every time I walk\cycle into Cambridge to go    to church. There are also many various stalls in close proximity to it, and it is really nice to walk past the Chapel with a snack.]]> 2021-05-17 16:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1532019313 GLSPS https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1535140450 I was so impressed with Year 6’s contributions so far that I was inspired to add my own favourite local building! As you can already see on this page, there are so many wonderful examples of architecture in our local area and it was hard to choose just one! I love the Corn Exchange in the city centre because over the years I have attended many concerts and theatre productions here so have many happy memories. I’m sure many of you have also visited. Traditionally, a ‘corn exchange’ was a building for farmers and merchants to trade cereal grains! This building formally opened in 1875, with a quarter of a million local bricks used for the construction - red, yellow and dark blue. As you can see from the picture, it is a very attractive building! I can’t wait to revisit again soon. ]]> 2021-05-18 11:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1535140450 head364 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1535241629 It has been a delight to read through your favourite buildings Y6! Like Mrs. Unwin, I felt inspired to share one with you. Although, I have to admit that I actually have two in Cambridge that I cannot choose between. Firstly, Kettle's Yard - a beautiful house and now museum. The light in here is just like nothing else! Secondly, a building with a special memory is the Senate House (pictured below). This is the building that I received my Master of Education Degree in. It was a very special occasion that marked the end of a lot of hard work. I had to learn a little Latin for the ceremony and bow at the right time - otherwise I would not have graduated! I felt exceptionally proud and was joined by my wife, mum and dad. The entire room inside is splendid - with beautiful staged seating, intricate flooring and stunning ceiling.  ]]> 2021-05-18 12:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1535241629 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536051273 My favourite building in our local area is the Health Care Centre.  It is my favourite  building because it helps  people every day! The nurses and doctors  are really nice and caring . There are  27 parking spaces .  It has a courtyard that the staff take their breaks in . It has automatic doors and is one storey. My favourite people that work there are the people  at the front desk . After you walk through the reception you enter the waiting room it has lots of comfy chairs and some beads for kids to play with.

It is also used for a lot of events like raising money for the Playscape and sometimes the Fun Run. It has a sleek modern design and it is used to support a lot of people in the local area.]]> 2021-05-18 16:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536383125 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536557370 My favourite building in the local area is Scotsdales. I really like looking through the garden centre. There are many plants such as roses, shrubs, perennials and many more that make the garden centre look really pretty and colourful.  You can even buy seeds from there to plants your own!
But my most favourite thing about Scotsdales is the aquarium. There are so many fish to see and look at. My sisters and I like to choose which of them we would like as a pet. There are clown fish, gold fish, swordtails, Zebra fish, betta fishes etc. 
One thing I really enjoy looking at is the brilliant furniture. Its fun looking at new things to decorate our house.]]> 2021-05-18 16:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536557370 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536625309 I really like IWM Duxford because it has lots of fighter planes (like spitfires) which are really interesting to look at.
I also really like the hanger with the Lancaster bomber in because the Lancaster bomber is my favourite plane.
The hanger also has the Concorde in it and an interesting science experiment was conducted in the Concorde. In the science experiment they looked at a clock while going at the speed of sound and because they were going so fast the clock stopped!]]> 2021-05-18 17:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536625309 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536653421 My favourite building in the local area is hobby craft, I get most of my art supply's from here and creating things make me happy! ]]> 2021-05-18 17:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1536653421 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1540604889 My favourite building in the local area is Scotsdales because I got some pets there and some toys (for me and my pets) and I just like it]]> 2021-05-19 17:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1540604889 jalderson8 https://padlet.com/jalderson8/uhp2j8ufldklyebi/wish/1543972009 My favourite building in the local area is my house because it is where I live!
