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.

It’s arrivals day at Old Buckenham Hall!

Fuka, Tommaso, and Lorenzo check-in before grabbing a bite to eat in the dining hall.

In the dining hall, Ida and Livia enjoy some arrival snacks …

…while in the common room, some of the boys are playing pool.

Nikita from Siberia meets Jigme from Switzerland.

We hope you had a safe trip home and look forward to seeing you again next year!
