Another childhood pastime was to tightly wrap the head of a match in aluminium foil, place the match so that the wrapped head stuck over the edge of the table and hold a lighted match to the aluminium. With a little patience you produced your very own miniature rocket.
No doubt nowadays you would be expelled from school, sued by the parents of any child within 50 ft of it and prosecuted by the HSE for not having done a risk analysis.
