This afternoon the students performed in the CAE Talent Show. They did a wonderful job and are all very talented. The line up included: a well executed performance of the ‘Cup Song’ from the movie ‘Pitch Perfect’, another group performed a dance to the song ‘Tutti A Tavola’, they also sang ‘Viva La Vida’ and we even had some breakdancing. It was quite a spectacle! 😃

In the evening we had a Pizza Party- it was very yummy! 👌 The students (including the Italians) agreed that the staff made some good pizzas. Elena said she wanted to eat all of the pizzas 🍕 Overall the evening was very relaxed and the students had a chance to play table football, poker, pool and to chat with their friends at CAE.

Another good day at CAE 👍

Today was a beautiful afternoon for team building games in the garden. First we were split in to two groups and had to race the other group to the other side while popping balloons spread across our path along the way. We had to work together to move the skis (left, right, LEFT!) which was challenging and hilarious at times.

Next we had to build a bridge across the ‘water’ (the grass) so that we wouldn’t get eaten by ‘sharks’. We had to work as a team to get all of our team members across the garden. Both groups went head to head at the end and team 1 only just beat the other team.

This is us in the Fellow’s Gardens just before we watched Shakespeare’s play ‘As You Like It’. It was a bit hard to understand (thankfully we had studied it in class this morning) however we really enjoyed the play 😄

This afternoon, half of the students got creative in the kitchen while the other half created some arty t-shirts. The students who had a chance to cook last time got to paint t-shirts this time and vice versa. The group of students in the kitchen made some tasty cakes, as the staff can confirm since the students were kind enough to offer us some, yum!

In the evening, CAE challenged the students to play CAE’s Crazy Game. This is a board game which requires the three teams of students to complete challenges to move along the board. They were challenged to play games such as ‘Taboo’, ‘Pictionary’ and ‘Trivia’.

After the game was completed the group went outside to watch the Perseid meteor shower in the moonlight.

Today we went to Thorpe Park home to some of the best rollercoasters in Britain! There was something for everyone, from the terrifying ‘Swarm’ to the tame ‘Storm in a Teacup’ as well as the wet and wild ‘Tidal Wave’.

Going to Thorpe Park was a great opportunity to spend time with our friends at CAE and after a fun day out we had a nap on the bus journey back.

This afternoon we went to Peterborough to play laser tag. After three laser battles it was clear that the winning team was the red team. However that didn’t matter because we all had a good time 😃

In the evening we had a quiz but not just any ordinary quiz- we played Buzz! This was fast paced quiz game on PlayStation 2 which involved winning points, stealing points and bonus rounds. Things got very competitive and we were having so much we forgot to take pictures.
