The first Salterford House Snail Race



A thrilling race took place in Year One on Friday.  Over an official distance of 13 inches, nine snails battled their way to the ultimate prize.  A nail biting six minutes ended when Charlie's snail crossed the finish line in first place.  After a photo finish, second and third went to Luca and Jan.

Many thanks to all the boys who turned up on a very rainy Saturday.  The second round of the cross country championship took place at Ashfield School.  Salterford had two boys in the counties top twenty under 11s.  The team moved up five places in the overall standings.  Roll on Thursday at Highfields!

Year Two are leading the assembly on Monday.  They are using some very famous music from Chariots of Fire.  Some of you may remember the film, others the performance of Rowan Atkinson at the 2012 Olympics.

Hope you have all got your tickets for Friday's Bonfire Display.  If you are having your own party, please follow the Fireworks Code.

1. Follow the Fireworks Code.

  •  Keep fireworks in a closed box 
  •  Follow the instructions on each firework 
  •  Light all fireworks at arms length 
  •  Stand well back 
  •  Never go back to a lit firework 
  •  Never put fireworks in your pocket 
  •  Never throw fireworks
  •  Keep Pets indoors [ click here ] for more on pets and fireworks

2. Use only BS 7114 Fireworks

  • Check this when you are buying. All reputable dealers will only sell fireworks to this standard and if you are ever offered any others leave them alone!

3. Take special care with sparklers

  • Sparklers can be beautiful and enjoyable for young children but adults must be aware of their potential. Sparklers are the cause of a disproportionate number of injuries but only a few simple precautions are necessary.
    •  Always supervise children with sparklers.
    •  Teach them to hold the sparkler at arms length, but not near anyone else
    •  Sparklers are not for the under 5s. They will be labeled as such and it is yourresponsibility.
    •  Have a container of water handy, big enough for the spent sparkler. Dump the sparkler in it as soon as it goes out.
