On Friday the students went to Cambridge. They went punting on the river Cam, completed a Cambridge fact hunt, and explored the market.

Social activities leader Lamide and Jigme were caught by Cambridge’s newest police officers – PC Constantin and PC Peter!

Friday’s evening activity was a quiz night. One of the rounds was a blind taste test. Watch the video to see what the students had to taste, do you know what they are? The answers will be in the next post!

Yesterday the pupils enjoyed a day out in Bury St Edmunds. After completing a ‘logo hunting’ activity for their English classes, they enjoyed some free time in the historic town. After some shopping at the traditional local market, we had a picnic in the park, followed by an evening of bowling!

Luke, the Director of Student Services, had to leave us today. Before leaving, he gave the students a taste of rugby. Thanks for all your hard work!

Here at Old Buckenham Hall  we don’t have Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, but we do have Fire, Water, Earth and Wind! Yesterday the pupils were put into houses, and throughout the course they’ll be competing for the title of Best House- as well as the mystery prize….

The students all got involved into a variety of activities on their first day. We did nature walk and sketching, bench-ball and football 🙂

Once rooms had been found, bags had been unpacked, and lunch had been eaten, it was time for the students to get to know each other.

A look to the week ahead. After breakfast the students have an assembly, at which they get the school news and choose some of their afternoon activities. The rest of the morning is spent with their talented and enthusiastic English teachers. In the afternoons and evenings, the students can enjoy a range of sport and creative activities.

There are two excursions this week. The first is to Bury St Edmunds, a local town, and the second is to Cambridge.
