Yesterday, Emma's 5th grade class had the opportunity to participate in the "Miniolimpiadi 2015" hosted by the city of Torino. Her class was chosen to represent our city at a track and field day at Parco Ruffini. They were gone all morning and returned close to 2:00. Everyone enjoyed the day in the sun and out of the classroom. We were happy too because since they were chosen by our community, the city paid for their transportation--a savings of 10 euros.
Field trips here are paid in full by the family, and usually those trips get costly because coach buses have to be rented every single time for transportation. Spring is the time for field trips and usually there are multiple trips for each of our kids so you can understand why were happy something was free for once.
The kids participated in a 400m race, relay race, hurdles/obstacle course, and the long jump. Some parents went along to watch and took some great pictures.

Wow, Emma, that looks like fun! You are a real hurdler and it looks like you did great in the long jump. Thanks for sharing!
Love,
