Afternoons here are full of activities: cooking, art, circus skills, sport, swimming, drama and lots more. It’s such a good chance to try new things and get to know each other (and have a great laugh too!)

T2 – London calling – Academic trip
Here we are in London getting to know some of the most famous places in the city (and in the World).
This is the second time we’ve been to London this course and this trip was with our teachers and gave us the chance to investigate the history and culture of the city.
We travelled by train and tube which gave us a new view of the city – mixing with Londoners and tourists in this incredible place.
At Kings Cross station. Is this the way to Hogwarts?
We had to research the places before we went and then give presentations at each place, acting as tour guides for our class mates. Some other tourists even started listening to our presentations because they thought we knew what we were talking about!!
Bryony’s class outside the Globe Theatre
The Tate Modern Art gallery – What is art?
Guillerme (Spain): “There are 4.2 million bricks on the front wall of the Tate Rob (Teacher): “Are you sure? I think you should count them!”
View from the Tate to St. Paul’s
Borough market – Not all English food is horrible. Honestly!!
T2 – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Last night we went to watch a Shakespeare play in the gardens of Cambridge University. We saw ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and it was a magical evening…..
The actors bringing the story to life
We sat on the grass and had a picnic as we watched the play
T2 – Enjoying the sun in July
We’re in the middle of T2. At the moment we have 35 students from 13 different countries!
France, Serbia, Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain, Bosnia, Oman, China, Russia, Switzerland, Vietnam, Slovakia.
It’s an amazingly international course and everyone’s making friend with people they never thought they’d meet!
T1 – The first course of the Summer
T1 started on the 22nd June when 24 students from 8 different countries arrived in Cambridge.
They were such wonderful students and we had an amazing 3 weeks getting to know them.
St. Paul’s Cathedral, London. We enjoyed an academic trip to London learning about the history and culture of Britain’s incredible capital city. We went to St. Paul’s, Millennium Bridge, Tate modern art gallery, the Globe Theatre and Borough market. It was a busy but wonderful day!
They worked hard and played hard! Lessons, activities and excursions kept them really busy and when it was time to go everyone was really sad to say good bye to their new friends.
Laura from Spain and Elisa from Italy. They said that they will miss each other a lot 😦
