To be or not to be

This afternoon students got creative in the kitchen/art room, designing and making some yummy cupcakes and some cool t-shirts!

In the evening, we were lucky enough to attend the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival. Some of the best plays are performed in the beautiful University gardens as the sun sets. The play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream and students and staff were enchanted by the great acting, hilarious storyline and incredible backdrop.

CAE Olympics and Disco Night

Yesterday afternoon was the CAE Olympics, which involved teams of two representing countries and competing in four different (unconventional) Olympic games – Table Football, Pool, Table Tennis and Connect Four! After a competitive knockout round of table tennis, Spain finished as the winners!

 

In the evening, the students and social activities staff attended an International Night Disco in Cambridge. Unfortunately we were too busy dancing to take many photos, but some of the students added some glitter to their outfits and sparkled the night away on the dance floor…

T3: Exploring our local surroundings

Through challenges, and scavenges the students discovered their new home. They counted the bus stops, took pictures of nice smelling things and scavenged for alphabet shaped twigs!

The Great Egg Catapult Challenge

Equipped with bamboo sticks, tape, and string, each group was challenged to make an egg catapult with only an hour to spare!

The  students used their innovation and engineering to structure powerful weapons of egg-stermination. And when the hour was up, the eggs flew higher than the chickens they came from!

To finish the evening, we played some of the group’s much loved games, including ‘Blood-potato’ and ‘Tangled’.

T3: Cambridge Orientation and Welcome BBQ

Yesterday was a wonderful first day at CAE for our teenage students, who spent the afternoon exploring Cambridge with their leaders, and learning facts about the beautiful, historical city.

In the evening, CAE hosted a welcome barbeque for the teenage students, as well as the new adult students. Despite the rain, burgers and sausages were enjoyed all round, and the evening ended with some team building games in the garden.

Students and staff alike all went to bed with full stomachs and excitement for the next three weeks… Stay tuned to find out what else we get up to for the rest of the course!!!!!

Cooking & Arts Afternoon

All the students had an enjoyable time yesterday afternoon with a spot of baking and decorating some t-shirts for themselves!

Some were preparing for their evening of culture with a live performance of Hamlet in St. John’s College Gardens while everyone else geared up for a DVD Night in CAE!

Here’s some pictures!

Thorpe Park

Another Saturday, another excursion to Thorpe Park! All the students were raring to go and pump their bodies full of adrenaline with all the rides they could get their hands on!

You can tell by some faces that they really didn’t want to stop for a picture!
