20th MarPlaying with Fire - The dangers of Mobile PhonesOn Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th March 2018, actresses from the Redbridge Drama Centre performed a show to our year seven students. The performance, titled "Playing with Fire" depicted the obsessive relationship young people often have with their mobile devices, and showed just how dangerous the attachment to a mobile phone can potentially be. The play focused on showing how a child became distracted from her school work and her family, as well as her role in bullying peers via social media groups. The show also exemplified the detrimental effects social media can have on the confidence of young people, as well as how small mishaps can be blown out of proportion.

7th MarEngland Athletics National ChampionshipMayfield School was represented at the England Athletics National Indoor Age Group Championships in Sheffield from the 24th - 25th February 2018 at the hands of Mario Dobrescu, who competed in the Under 15 Boys 200m event. Coming into the championship as the Essex and Eastern Counties Champion, Mario cruised through his heats and entered the final with the second fastest time from the qualifying heats. In a closely contested race he broke his personal best with a time of 22.80s, which won him the bronze medal, closely following the winner who had a time of 22.51s, which is the fourth fastest ever for an Under 15 indoors. The silver medallist had a time of 22.58s and holds the World Record for fastest 300m ever run by a 13 year old. This excellent performance by Mario puts him as the third fastest Under 15 200m runner in the country. Mario hopes to build on this success during the outdoor season with English Schools in the upcoming months.
