The Great Fire of London was brought to life in Year 2 yesterday morning with a fantastic workshop from Trunk Theatre 🎭 In this two-person performance, children were able to join in with the songs, dances and even joined the cast in a special activity at the end, making this a fully immersive and interactive experience.
We were thrilled to welcome Warning Zone 💥to our School this week for an engaging and insightful session with our Year 5 pupils.
The visit provided the children with a valuable `Technical Toolkit` 🔨to help them assess risk and ensure their safety in various situations. The toolkit includes three essential tools: the Rewind Button, which encourages students to consider whether they can safely exit a situation they`ve entered; the Truth Detector, which helps discern whether information might be too good to be true; and the Pressure Shield, which empowers them to resist peer pressure and make wise choices. A big thank you to Warning Zone for equipping our students with these practical and empowering tools!

Celebrating creativity ✨
@lborofairfield pupils have been taking part in the ISEB and IAPS Time to Write 2026 competition, using the theme `Thread` to prompt their creative thinking and storytelling skills.

The Ambassadors, who are Year 12 A Level English students, kindly provided individual feedback for every entrant and have shown great enthusiasm for supporting and promoting creative writing.
