The day before a week-long vacation in California would probably not have involved a lot of academics, but may have involved a movie, pyjamas, and treats. Life is different here.
A note was sent home saying the younger kids would walk to the park 0.5 km away, start running at 9am and stop running at 10am, rain or shine. I asked some parents what it really meant, but all I got were funny looks. They said not to worry, it was okay to walk, if necessary. So off they went and ran for an hour, returning to the school afterward for water and apples. The older kids stayed on campus and played games like tug-of-war, stickball, and three-legged races. No medals, no sugar, no childhood obesity problems here.
