As I visit the outdoor day care centre group at Viinamäenkatu 7, Turku, they are having a rehearsal for Finland 100 -themed celebrations at Hannunniittu school and the children are excited. They will be performing sports activities in the style of the 1950’s. For these active kids, a sports performance is a perfect fit, as they spend their days outside in the fresh air engaging in physical activities.
