a message from the Principal

Dear Relax & Revise student

As the Principal and the person responsible for the organisation of your programme, I would like to welcome you to Cambridge Melchior College.

The Bright World Relax & Revise Programme is designed to provide you with an environment to support your private study as well as a place to relax on your all-important school holiday.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us in our residential accommodation and that you actively participate in your programme of cultural and recreational activities.

As a student of the College we hope you use all the facilities we have to offer including our landscaped gardens and the student common room.

We look forward to welcoming you at CMC. Make sure you bring lots of warm clothing as it can be a little cold in the UK at this time, especially in the evenings.

Yours sincerely,Michael Voice Principal

Cambridge Computer Museum (additional option) The museum has as its core purpose the goal of increasing the understanding of developments in digital technology over the past 60 years by exploring the social, cultural and historical impact of the Information Era. Much more than a museum, it hosts hands-on exhibitions, educational workshops and a wide range of activities and events. Most importantly, it makes the history of personal computing relevant and fun for all ages!

The city of Cambridge is most famous for its University. Cambridge University began in 1209 after scholars fled from riots in Oxford and took refuge here. In 1284 the first college was founded and called Peterhouse. Today the University compromises of 31 colleges!

Walking tour of Cambridge:During the walking tour, students will have the opportunity to see some famous buildings and landmarks, such as;

Trinity College – founded in 1546, is the largest and wealthiest college in Cambridge. It boasts 32 Nobel Prize winners and former students include; Sir Isaac Newton and HRH Prince Charles

The Market Square – A market has existed here for over 1000 years, traditionally crowds have gathered in the markets on important occasions like the recent visit from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

excursions

Great Yarmouth Great Yarmouth is a resort town on the east coast of England. It’s known for its long sandy beach. The Time and Tide Museum traces local history. The Nelson Museum focuses on the life of Admiral Horatio Nelson. There are penguins and sharks at the SEA LIFE aquarium. Merrivale Model Village features miniature landscapes and buildings. The Pleasure Beach and Joyland amusement parks have family rides. Relax & Revise students enjoy a day out and a traditional fish and chip lunch.

Ely Ely is steeped in history and is principally renowned for Ely Cathedral, a magnificent building with its unique Octagon Tower which dominates the landscape for miles around. The Cathedral you see today had its origins in the 11th century and the City of Ely developed around this awesome structure. Relax & Revise students can enjoy an afternoon in Ely looking at the sights and shopping.

Braintree Village Relax & Revise students can enjoy a trip to this large shopping centre with outlet stores for popular fashion and perfume brands at cheaper prices.

excursions

excursions King’s College & PuntingThe college was founded in 1441 by Henry VI (1421-71) and is one of the 31 colleges in the University of Cambridge. King’s has an outstanding academic record and is also world-famous for its Chapel and choir. The Christmas Eve service from King’s (A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols) is broadcast to millions around the world.

A punt is a flat-bottomed boat with a square-cut bow, designed for use in small rivers or other shallow water. Punting refers to boating in a punt. The punter generally propels the punt by pushing against the river bed with a pole. A punt should not be confused with a gondola, a shallow draft vessel that is structurally different, and which is propelled by an oar rather than a pole. Punts were originally built as cargo boats or platforms for fowling and angling, but in modern times their use is almost exclusively confined to pleasure trips with passengers. The basic technique of punting is to shove the boat along with a pole by pushing directly on the bed of the river or lake.

The River Cam runs through the heart of Cambridge enabling you to enjoy fantastic views of the world famous Cambridge College ‘Backs’ from the comfort of a traditional Cambridge Punt. King’s College Chapel, The Wren Library at Trinity College and the Bridge of Sighs, are just some of the famous Cambridge landmarks you can expect to see during this 45-minute chauffeured punt tour.

Mathematical Bridge Constructed in 1749, although the bridge appears to be arched, it is in fact composed of entirely straight timbers.

Thetford Forest Students love to get out and about in the fresh air and explore and enjoy a forest adventure at High Lodge, Thetford Forest.

They can take a walk along beautiful forest trails, try the excitment of bike trails, have an adventure in wild play areas and even try Go Ape!
