Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 15

Two days of excursions can only ever lead to one thing, a well-deserved lie in. Follow this with a nice brunch at one of Cambridge’s many picturesque cafes and eateries, and you have a pretty perfect morning. That is exactly what the students of Reach Cambridge were treated to today. Considering the beautiful weather this…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 14

Another day, another excursion for the students of Reach Cambridge! We thought we’d add some variety to proceedings today, and we did not go to London. Instead we gave the students an experience quite unlike any other, and we headed to the Great British Seaside. The typical understanding of a trip to the seaside involves…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 13

Despite it only feeling like five minutes ago since Reach Summer 2018 began, our second round of weekend excursions has begun. The last week has been filled with fun, activities and learning, but it’s also been hard work, and so everyone was in need of some adventure. We at Reach Cambridge like to think that…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 12

We were glad to see the sun back out and shining for this fun-filled Friday after a couple of grey days here in Cambridge! As usual our day kicked off with a diverse range of engaging classes. The English as a Second Language Class had a particularly fun morning taking on the role of film…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 10

Today marked a particularly exciting day for students and teachers at Reach, with several classes taking trips out to sites around Cambridge, seizing learning opportunities outside the classroom. The staff team even joined in on the fun with a group workout after our morning meeting! The English Literature class were lucky enough to experience not…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 9

A slightly cooler temperature and light drizzle this morning was a welcome change to the heat and intense sun we’ve had over the past week. Today students went to class as usual, learning about everything from radiology and anatomy in medicine, to an introduction to modernism in English literature. They then headed into town for…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 8

After a busy weekend of excursions, our students have been spoilt today with a well deserved lie in. Classes were pushed back to 1:30pm which gave them the chance to recharge and regroup, ready for an action packed second week on the program! This has meant that we have had some great work being done…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 7

Reachers across Cambridge were excited to wake up bright and early this morning to kick off our much-anticipated trip to London. With the sun shining brightly and balmy temperatures predicted for the day, tiredness from the previous day’s excursion was quickly forgotten, as the bus journey provided plenty of opportunity for napping! First stop was…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 6

There’s nothing better, after a week of lectures and making new friends, than hopping on a bus and going somewhere new. Reach Cambridge likes to fill the weekends with exciting excursions to different tourist attractions throughout the country. Today, students were up bright and early for breakfast, then piled on a coach for a two…

Today students went to class as normal, and the students from Medicine and Life sciences went across to a new classroom near Reach Hall, where they were able to perform exciting dissections and experiments! The students from Physics and Astronomy also went on a trip to Centre for Computer History, where they played Tetris on…
