Cambridge Trip

Students had a well-deserved 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.

Their guide was Rosie, herself a Cambridge graduate. Students saw famous bridges and looked around many colleges including Trinity and Rosie's own college, Jesus. There students heard about Rosie's experiences as a student and how student/college life works at Cambridge.

Meanwhile, Jean-Luc, Joanne (aka Fufu) and Tudor took a visit to King's College Chapel, famed for its choir and Christmas carol service. The chapel itself was planned by Henry VI but not finished until the reign of Henry VIII. The students seemed impressed, and enjoyed the musical accompaniment of the string quartet practising there!

Students then had some free time for lunch and shopping. Helena bought a Cambridge T-shirt which she has been bravely sporting around Oxford and Daisy bought some trendy wellies!

A punting tour was up next, giving students the chance to see "the backs", the beautiful lawns of colleges backing onto the river. The punting trip gave students the chance to experience punting by an expert before trying it themselves next week!

After more free time, students had dinner at Giraffe and then headed to the coach home after a long day!
