Sports day! Students were able to have a lie in and get a later breakfast in college, before reconvening for a rather sunny day at Cambridge’s sport centre.
As students headed off to the sports ground, the sun followed behind, and before you know it, sports day was in full swing. Despite the end of the Euros, football was stillin high demand, and the students were able to enjoy a kick around, whilst others enjoyed the range of activities available at the centre. Some played volleyball with new balls and our huge nets, whilst others enjoyed some tennis rallies, featuring some astonishingly talented students! And of course, with access to an athletics track, students took each other on in the 100m, or the more long-distance minded were able to do some laps and practise for Reach’s next morning run club! We also ran silly races, with students wearing fancy dress and wigs, to compete against each other in relays!
Back inside, students could take it easy, with an array of board games and activities. Students transformed into detectives during a tense game of Cluedo, and tried out their poker faces on the casino table. Others made friendship bracelets and did some knitting, drawing and all sorts of arts and crafts! As those outside finally finished their game, they came back inside for a brand new hot fork buffet. Students tucked into a feast, with chicken curry and cottage pie on the menu!
After having their fill of the buffet (and going back for seconds!), everyone walked back to college for tonight’s activities. On the activity menu this evening we had a chilled night for the students worn out from sport, with a relaxed movie night, with snacks and drinks to have a cosy evening in. Or students could begin to prepare for the World Fair, where they get the chance to present to the whole cohort about their country and culture, which will take place next week, and is a Reach highlight for all involved.
Looking ahead to Sunday, we head off to London for our second excursion of the summer, a day of museums, theatre and shopping, but more about that on tomorrow’s blog…
