Hot-air balloon flying looks best against a blue sky and that s exactly what Te Puke Primary School got last Thursday.
The school had an exciting visit from Kiwi hot-air balloon pilot and entrepreneur Andrew Parker.
He has launched a Flying High Project and Te Puke Primary is one of 32 schools throughout New Zealand to be chosen for a visit.
Thirty students and some staff members got the chance to rise up from the school playing field in the tethered balloon.
