@OldBuckenhamPri - 26th November 2021
Welcome
We are a rural community primary school situated in the village of Old Buckenham, Norfolk. As a primary school we have always catered for the age range 4 to 11, a seven year educational span, however in August 2018, we took on Buckenham Pre-School Group to extend our age range from 2 years old. We are therefore now a joint Primary and Nursery School. We have seven classes: one for each academic year, which enables us to deliver the EYFS and National Curriculum to classes containing single age ranges.

Good morning! It’s our last day at Kingswood and the children are up, packing their bags and stripping their beds. All of this needs to be done before breakfast at 8.30 so we need to get a wriggle on! 🐛 Final activities include abseiling, archery and hot spots. Let’s do it!
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
A Kingswood tradition on the final night: a roaring campfire, steaming hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows… not to mention some fantastic singing from the children and instructors! 🔥 ☕️ 🍪 The children are now getting ready for bed before tomorrow’s (very) early start ☀️ https://t.co/0g36sVUIjW
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
Unfortunately the weather really turned against us this afternoon so a few of our children are a little damp, but spirits still seem high as we head into the final evening! 🔥 Tomorrow, they’ve got to pack their cases - wonder if anyone will return with a sock missing? 😅 https://t.co/eUVlHfmi8U
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
It is SO cold today! We’re right next to the sea so the breeze that’s rolling in is nice and fresh - perfect to keep us on our toes. 🌊 The children are having a fantastic time… but the teachers could do with a brew! 🥶 🥶 ☕️ 🫖 https://t.co/8VOuoLxDPl
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
Our final full day at @kw_westrunton and it’s a soggy one! In the menu today we’ve got abseiling, 4x4 buggy driving and an obstacle course - with a final visit to the shop later this evening! https://t.co/3R21KvK2fA
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
An evening of laser tag, disco lights and music rounded off our third day at Kingswood! There were a few tired children who decided to break off early to get ready for bed, but after a day full of high-altitude challenges, this was completely understandable ☺️ Goodnight! https://t.co/TByO2oj2Ih
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
How very generous of you @simonjamesgreen - our pupils will be absolutely thrilled to hear about this! Especially our Y6 class who are currently tackling all sorts of wonderful challenges on their residential 😃🔥📖 https://t.co/669HxwNYjt
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
For the first activity of the day, the class are all doing high-level challenges: leap of faith, zip wire and climbing! 🧗♀️ https://t.co/P6Hd0Y2UTc
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
Time: 6.45am. The sound of children chatting loudly can be heard throughout the building. When gently reminded that it’s not actually time to get up yet, the response comes: “Yes but can we start tidying?” They’re ever so keen to do well on their room inspections! 😂👍🏻
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021

A much quicker, easier bedtime this evening - the children have had a jam-packed day and are exhausted! 🥱 Today we’ve also celebrated a birthday, spent some of our money in the shop, and held a mini olympics with some interesting team names! Good night everyone! 🌙 😴
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
It’s a beautiful morning at @kw_westrunton and we’re ready and raring to go! https://t.co/sMzJ1qrIeO
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
Last night we tried our hand at firelighting - our skills of resilience and determination came in really useful here, as getting the flint and steel to spark well enough to light the kindling was VERY tricky! 🔥 https://t.co/JjmntxZ8Mm
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
Wakey wakey, rise and shine! ☀️ Today, we’re doing: Problem solving (teamwork) Jacob’s Ladder (heights) Crate stacking (heights) Plus more archery, caving and fencing for some groups who didn’t do these yesterday. Breakfast is at 8.30; room inspection is at 8. Let’s go! 🏃🏼♀️
@OldBuckenhamPri - 22nd November 2021
For the ‘Nightline’ activity, the children had to make their way in 2 teams around an obstacle course - in the dark and wearing blindfolds. Without sight, verbal communication became incredibly important, and it gave our children a chance to put this skill to good use. 1/2
@OldBuckenhamPri - 22nd November 2021
Good evening! Year 6 have arrived at @Kingswood_ West Runton safe and sound, have made their beds (to a wide range of standards 😂), have completed their first activity and have just finished dinner. Two more activities left before we start to wind down for the night! 🔦 🌙

@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd July 2021
In Nursery we have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly. The children enjoyed watching their caterpillars grow, build a chrysalis and then hatch into butterflies. Our butterflies were strong enough to be released, we loved watching them all fly away. https://t.co/vayXS27xq4
