It was a warm Friday afternoon outside, but at Nga¯hinapo¯uri School, children were learning to ice skate. New Zealand’s Ice Skate Tour installed the artificial mobile ice skating rink in the school hall for three days last week. Nga¯hinapo¯uri School students enjoyed the experience throughout the day, and the ice rink was open to the public in the afternoon. Ice Skate Tour owner Robin de Goeij says the ice skate rink surface is similar to a kitchen chopping board, but less cold and slippery than most ice rinks.
