Taking a short break and enjoying the views Nothing beats a bridge photo! Time for a quick picnic!
As part of our summer programme, EMBS organised a river walk, picnic and library visit for Ukranian and Afghan refugees. It was a lovely day, not too hot, and not cold. We walked from the college, through picturesque Iffley and down to the lock where we watched the long boats navigate through the lock. We then walked along the river admiring the beautiful scenery and picking the blackberries. After a brief stop in town to buy extra supplies, we enjoyed a picnic by the river in Oxpens Meadow. We enjoyed tasting food from Ukraine along with typical British picnic food. The last activity of the day was a visit to Oxford County Library in Westgate where we were shown around by librarians and many of the parents are super excited to take their children to rhyme time and story time. We were also shown the shelf reserved for the Ukrainian language books that have been ordered. Many students joined the library and now have access to the wonderful free resources available there.
