Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 17

Today was what we at Reach Cambridge call “Sabre Day” – the culmination of fundraising efforts from our Community Outreach students to support the SABRE Charitable Trust. Here, the Community Outreach Coordinator Alex explains what the Community Outreach team have been up to during the July Program… The Community Outreach students work together to raise…

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 16

It’s Tuesday again and the final week is just racing by! The big thing on the cards today was the Reach Cambridge Talent Show, an opportunity for us all to showcase the secret gifts we had hiding within. First, though, it was back to the nine o’clock start for class and another day of learning….

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 15

What? It’s the last Monday already?! Time certainly does fly here at Reach. Students were treated to a bit of a lie-in this morning to catch up on some much-needed rest after the weekend’s festivities, with classes starting at 10 rather than 9 (for as we all know, an hour in the morning makes a…

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 13

Saturday saw the students embark on another trip to the capital! This was a specific trip dedicated to museums and (perhaps the most exciting aspect) shopping! As usual London was not short of exciting things to do. In the morning the students had the choice of two different museums: the Science Museum or the V&A….

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 12

Today was a big day for the Community Outreach students as the sun shone down on the Sabre charity fundraising fete this afternoon. Apple bobbing, ‘soak the supervisor’, limbo challenge, face painting and dodgeball were just a few of the activities on offer to students after class with all the donated money going to Sabre…

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 11

Here at Reach Cambridge, we are keen that students not only explore Cambridge, but experience some of the other excellent places that the UK has to offer. All of our students visited Stratford-upon-Avon today, before splitting into two groups – one went to Warwick Castle, one to see a performance of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice by…

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 9

The first day of second week was another fun-packed one here at Reach Cambridge. Following their various classes, the students gathered in front of the Downing College Chapel for the famous Reach photographs! We took a formal photo followed by a funny one (both on sale today, come on down!). Today was also the start…

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 8

After a relaxing Saturday at Brighton beach, Sunday was a chance to explore the capital! London, regularly crowned the best city in the world, holds no end of things to do and places to see. Students were given two excursions to choose from – a visit to the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe, and a…

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 7

Saturday brought our first excursion beyond Cambridge and where better for a warm, sunny day than the seaside? We were up early to make the trip to Brighton; a beautiful and traditional seaside city on the south coast. Upon arrival, we made our way to the Royal Brighton Pavilion for our first activities. Here, we…

Reach Cambridge July 2015: Day 5

“Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.” While many students nowadays, and even 400 years ago, (that was Shakespeare, by the way), may find school and learning tedious, our students at Reach Cambridge were thrilled to find they had extra classes today. Really, actually…
