It’s the penultimate day of Reach’s third and final 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.
After yesterday’s interdisciplinary excitement, we returned back to normal this morning, with college in breakfast as usual, before another full session of classes. As the morning of classes drew to a close, the students found out what was on offer for the rest of the day!
Before we get on to the evening’s showcase, students had a final chance to prepare their world fair presentations and talent show performances, coming together in their groups, or working hard alone to perfect their act. Or, by popular demand, students could once again continue with the incredibly popular language learning workshop, to share new words and phrases from their respective languages with each other.
Tonight saw another busy evening, with the students having dinner with their corridor and corridor supervisor, getting takeaway pizzas from Aromi! It was less than two weeks ago the corridors had their first icebreakers, but you would think the students have been friends for years! The corridor dinner really highlights how close the students become over the two weeks, and gives everyone a chance to reflect on their time together.
After so much demand for the World Fair, we picked up where we left off with more insightful presentations on Belgium, Brazil and Russia! It was then time for the Program 3 Talent Show! Following days of buildup, we got to see the fruits of the students’ labour, as they put on a night of entertainment! We had a soliloquy from Hamlet, an expressive dance, and following the success of the language workshops, we had an ASL workshop put on for the full cohort, learning the alphabet and common phrases! 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 all about the final day of the summer, and as always, check out our Instagram Story for more daily updates (@reachcambridge)
