Last Friday Matthew and Katherine's Dad, Dave Hadler, talked to both the Moa and the Kiwi teams about his experiences working as a radio engineer in Antarctica last year. Mr Hadler shared many photographic images from his travels to McMurdo Sound, Scott Base and the South Pole, and explained the answers to many Antarctic puzzles such as why buildings at the South Pole don't get painted, the size of the Antarctic continent compared to other continents in the world, and why Antarctica observes daylight saving, even when there is no daylight! Angus Horsburgh was chosen from the Moa Team to get dressed in Antarctic clothing - it looks like it would be fairly difficult to run around he rugby field in all that heavy clothing Angus!!The children all enjoyed Dave's talk and appreciate his efforts in preparing and presenting his talk to the school.
