Students had a break from tutorials
today to take a trip to “the Other Place”also known as Cambridge! After an early start and coach journey fuelled by breakfast bars, students took a tour of the city.
Rosie, our summer school coordinator is
an Cambridge alumna, so was back in her old stomping ground. She led
a walking tour of the city, showing students famous sites including
Trinity college, Kings college, famous bridges. She also showed
students around her old college, Jesus. Students had access to areas
students don't usually see. She also told students all about college
and student life in Cambridge.
Students had some free time during the day to shop and explore the city. Victoria bought some cute owl cushions and Becky bought a lovely jumper.
A tour of Cambridge by punt was up
next. Students saw the impressive "Backs" of colleges, and learnt many interesting bits of trivia from their expert guides. This was a good chance for students to see how punting is done before trying it for themselves later in the week.
After this it was time for dinner at Giraffe. It was also a very special day as Victoria turned 18 today! She was given a card signed by all of the summer school as well as a hedgehog cake after dinner. Happy Birthday Victoria! We hope she enjoyed her day in Cambridge.
