Uppingham Students Discover Cambridge

Uppingham Students Go to Cambridge

Wednesday saw all the Discovery Summer Uppingham students take to the buses and head off to Cambridge for their first full day excursion.

One of the highlights of a memorable day in Cambridge was the punting. Punting is a traditional pasttime in Cambridge and is a great way to experience the unique splendour and elegance of the many college buildings dotted around the city.

Many of the students have been studying Cambridge and its historical importance as a university city as part of their English Language lessons and as a result they were able to recognise some of the famous landmarks, such as King's College Chapel pictured below. Some of the students went on a tour of the college and its famous chapel, lead by one of the professors who teaches there.

But the real highlight of the day.... was seeing this poor chauffeur fall of her boat and into the water!!!

(This is not a Discovery Summer Student or Member of Staff and despite being a little cold I assure you she was fine and none of the students or staff on the excursion were harmed or soaked in any way)

And at the end of an exciting day both staff and students made the most of the coach journey back to Uppingham...
