this is Mr Loh here :). S14 and S27 and my H1 students, how are you people doing ? I hope you are not missing my lessons too much :). Here are some photos taken by me, enjoy.......
The Burst of Summer at Cambridge !
Melissa, Meiling and Husaini in action at Girton College
An example of the many many historic architecture seen at Cambridge.
Melissa at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences
Our students hard at work
Bella and David, the two course instructors for Physics
Melissa and Husaini. Stephen Hawking's office is actually
located at the top far end of the buiding in the background.
In fact, some students saw the man himself in his office while wondering
around. They were promptly shooed away by his nurse when it created quite a stir.
He was in his office while this picture was taken. Sigh....... so near yet so far.........
The futuristic looking Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences
The Freedom of Speech at its very best !
Me at the oldest underground train system in the
world! The carriages are smaller than Singapore's and they are
not air-conditioned. Hence in summer, nobody really wants to be down here
too long. But it is truly extensive and goes to all corners of London.
Before we left, Mrs Tan insisted that the teachers must try
the famous crispy duck in London. So we did :). And it is really
quite nice. Here you can see Miss Toh and Mrs Beh looking satisfied after
having their duck. For those who want to know how to get there- simply get off at Queensway
tube station, turn left and walk down the road and look out for Four Seasons. Alternatively, you can print the picture and ask anyone 'Have you seen this restaurant?' when in London. Thanks to Miss Toh's mum for providing the directions via long-distance call from Singapore.
The most recognisable icon of London- the Tower Bridge. This is
NOT the London Bridge, as wrongly thought so by many. London Bridge
is a more modern and rather unspectacular looking bridge further down the river.
The fair lady wouldn't be too sad if that one falls down :).....
Pioneers and the Big Ben !!
Astronomy lessons at the Institute of Astronomy.
The observatory in the background is the very same one
used by astronomers in the last century!
The bust of Maxwell and some the orginal apparatus created by him
at the Cavendish Laboratory. Many of the original apparatus used in
the discovery of the electron and the neutron are actually exhibited here.
Punting down the River Cam. A must-do when in
Cambridge. Basically, you hold on to this rather long
and heavy pole and dig its end into the river bed and simply
push the boat forward, that is if you can get the boat to move
in a straight line in the first place!
Our students having Physics lessons
Punting is a great way to see many of the beautiful
colleges at Cambridge, such as King's and Trinity- provided you are
not the one punting.
Me at the very Gothic looking Girton College.
Miss Toh and Mrs Beh taking a leisurely stroll
round Girton College with students.
