We were welcomed by Lou, Ruth and Kenny - the doc rangers.
First we walked along a walkway and learnt about the birds in the area, harakeke (flax) and some other important facts along the way.
We then stopped at the side of the water and began exploring the creatures that live in fresh water. We were split into groups and used some technical devices to scoop interesting bugs and plants out and then investigated and identified what the water creatures were. The most common were the water boatmen. Boy do they swim around!
We then played some cool games and related them back to how we can help keep our waterways/rivers clean.
On the way back we stopped off at Grants Rd to look at how the community has beautified the stream and created fresh water.
Thank you so much to the amazing parent helpers - Lauren, Moreen, Yvonne, Andrea, Angela and Karen. We couldn't go on these wonderful trips if it wasn't for your support and help. Thanks!
