Hiwi the Kiwi

Yesterday on the 25th of August 2016 'Hiwi the Kiwi' came to have a talk. They are a husband and wife duo that drives around New Zealand and to different schools and lives in a caravan.There names are Mr and Mrs Minstrel. They have been married together for exactly 40 years. They talked about educating us about fishing and water safety. We sang songs and  dances to it, They also told us stories.

 Mr Minstrel told us every time you go fishing you always have to wear a life jacket. Mr and Mrs Minstrel told us a true story about when these three men who knew how to swim, But they died because they didn't want to use a life jacket but when they tried to get it it was too late. They also talked about Kai moana and how to eat it properly.

They said if you catch snapper make sure that it is the right size because if it is too big then you can't eat it because then it might have a baby in it. But if it is too small then it is a baby so that's why you must eat it at the right size. They said if you catch it at the right size DON'T put it in clean water you have to put it in fresh saltwater because if you put it in fresh water it can go rotten very fast.
