As we hit the midway point of the week, the students have now fully settled into their classes, with the program in full swing! As usual, students had breakfast in their colleges, before making their own way to class and getting back into their chosen subjects. The morning soon came to a close, and after another full-on start to the day, the students turned their attention to the afternoon’s activities.
As always, the students had a choice of activities to fill their time. Chess enthusiasts from across the globe gathered to battle it out during the Chess Championship. As students went head to head, they had the chance to win points for the overarching Ice versus Fire competition, to add to the tally from the Instravangza and daily trivia questions.
If students fancied something a bit more relaxing, they could head down to do some scrapbook making, which allowed students to show their creative talents and create something to remember their time by! Those who spent yesterday afternoon trying something new at the Taster Courses, got to enjoy the second day of their chosen subjects, including Psychology and Introduction to Coding. After an aftenoon of chilled activities, we took a walk across town to have a different evening to usual…
All students and staff came together to have the first communal dinner of the program, for a giant Pizza Party at the Cambridge Cricket ground! But before the party got fully underway, our programme coordinators led some huge icebreaker games. The students formed into two long lines, one for team fire and one for team ice, for a game of over and under! Ice took home a landslide victory, beating team fire to the finish line in all 3 games. But fire had the chance to claw back some points, in a game of splat, with every student gathered in an enormous circle across the cricket field!
The students then broke off into smaller groups with their corridor supervisors, for more icebreakers and games. It was then time for the pizza, as everyone helped themselves to a margarita feast, before enjoying some cricket, football and tennis. A great time had by all in the evening sun!
Come back tomorrow to hear all about our interdisciplinary day, and as always, check out our Instagram and Tiktok for more daily updates! (@reachcambridge)
