It’s the penultimate day of Reach’s second program of the summer, and how quickly it has flown! We still have one full day tomorrow, so before we get into the emotional goodbyes, let’s tell you what today had in store for the students.
Following their morning classes, the students had their last bit of free time to explore Cambridge and grab lunch before regrouping for the afternoon’s activities. A great time to buy any last minute gifts, mementos and try un-tasted food options before returning home on Saturday.
This afternoon we had the return of T Shirt Painting, which is a lot of fun and allows students to show off their creative talents. This is always such a popular activity with our students! Before we get on to the talent show, students had a final chance to prepare their performances, coming together in their groups, or working hard alone to perfect their act. The music room was buzzing with excitement for the evening’s display!
For some, there was still lots of learning to be done, with the final batch of taster courses continuing, with courses including Study Skills and Cyber Security/ AI.
Our evening lecture came from a former RAF and commercial pilot, Tony, taking us through his 40 year long career in the skies! The talk was not only inspiring for the students, but also an amazing insight into the world of aircraft and flying for your country. As the numerous thoughtful questions for Tony came to a close, it was time for the talent show!!
After days of buildup, we got to see the fruits of the students’ labour, as they put on a night of music and entertainment! We had so many entries, kicked off by a supervisor performance of Coldplay to get the atmosphere going. The students followed suit, including a beautiful rendition of Clair de Lune, a stand up routine, an incredible performance of Adele’s ‘All I Ask’, a ridiculously fast rubix cuber, and a heartfelt animated short film. A real highlight of the program for many, both students and staff, and a celebration of the range of talents amongst our students.
Come back tomorrow to hear what our final day has in store, including the Departure Party, and check out our Instagram story for more daily updates! (@reachcambridge)
