Friday: Grantchester and Games Night!

This afternoon students and the social activities staff enjoyed a trip to Grantchester.Everyone was able to taste some classic English scones (with cream and jam of course!) and tea. After lunch we all headed over to a large field to play some games including a large group game of football.

 

After arriving back at CAE it was time for more games as we began games night. Students enjoyed a mixture of indoor and outdoor games in an excellent chance to build friendships and practice their English!

Blind date?

They say love is blind. Tonight the students proved to us it is also deaf and crazy. This evening we played a game in which one student sat behind a screen and asked questions to his or her potential love connections. The twist? The love connections were dressed in crazy clothes and gave zany answers.

A great time was had by both students and staff, and a lot of embarrassing memories were made.

In the afternoon the students did some research for the upcoming international night. They divided themselves into teams and planned to make food or showcase something from their culture.

 

 

Wednesday: Scavenger Hunt and Disco

This afternoon students took part in a scavenger hunt. This task allowed them to learn their way around the village and locate important places such as the Church and Doctor’s surgery. With a list of tasks to complete including items to find and places to locate the two teams of students and social activities staff raced each other to a draw!

 

 

In the evening we all travelled outside CAE for an enjoyable disco night. The music was loud, the students smiles were wide and their dancing…interesting!

Cupcakes, creativity and… catapults?

Today was a creative day for the students. In the afternoon they were split into two teams. Half of them designed and painted t-shirts and bags while the rest baked some delicious cupcakes they later shared with everyone.

 

 

In the evening we experienced a beautiful Girton sunset and the students made competed who could make the greatest egg catapult.

Following an afternoon of Sports, this evening, CAE students celebrated ‘international night’ by cooking dishes native to their countries for students and staff to try. The kitchen was a little crazy but the students created an impressive spread of dishes, including French crepes, Spanish omelette & gespacho, Italian pasta, a Slovakian potato dish and Swiss (Toblerone) mousse. Both the students and social activities team enjoyed creating and then eating the food!
