January team-building

January's induction week here at Sunderland FoundationCampus featured some activities to help our new and continuing students get to know each other.

Chocolate-scoffing challenge!

 Pictionary teams

 Get the ball from the table to the floor... in the longest possible time

 Wii 100-pin bowling

Congratulations to the winning team (named "Whatever"!), the proud recipients of some cinema vouchers. Well done to everyone who participated.

New term, new task

Among the activities that took place during our January 2012 induction week here at Sunderland FoundationCampus was a treasure hunt that took our students around the city, where they had to find things to complete a list of 5 tasks - and then provide photographic evidence, of course.

Congratulations to team "Made in China" who completed all tasks in the quickest time!

Task: Find, and try on, a Sunderland football shirt

Task: Find the university climbing wall (but don't climb it!)
