You could have been forgiven for believing you were in Italy not Albion on Tuesday at Albion Primary School.
After learning after the famous horse race Il Palio during their studies, the school put on their own II Palio event.
The race, which began in medieval times, involves horses from the different districts racing twice a year to crown a winner. There’s also a big festival.
Albion teacher Joanne Belvedere said they had decided to make a whole day of it.
The four school house colours each raced a horse, with staff and students dressing up to be involved in a parade beforehand,
The winning horse won a banner.
There was also pasta making, while students turned to crafts to make horse heads out of plastic.
