The Highlanders took to the sky yesterday heading north to hand out some treats and play some games.
Backs Tamati Ellison, Buxton Popoali'i and Aaron Smith made the trip on a helicopter courtesy of Helicopters Otago.
The Highlanders trio dropped in on the Waitati, Macraes-Moonlight and Waikouaiti schools, meeting some pupils and handing out a few treats.
At Waikouaiti Primary School the first question in the session was a tough one, asking how many games the side had won.
The team will attempt to double their winning record with a match against the Blues at Forsyth Barr Stadium tonight.
