Northbrook Waters Walk

A successful and fun day walking to Matawai Park for an easter hunt, rubbish pickup, games and lunch. Then on to North Brook Waters to meet with Parks Officer Dan who informed us about the area and answered lots of questions.
Dan talking to the students about the wildlife found in the area. Previously we stopped to look at harakeke and kanuka which grows along the edges of the lake.
One or two tired bods after walking to the park - little did they realise we still had to walk back to school which would test the patience of a few.
A bit hard to see but a pukeko on the left (yes they can swim) visiting a swan who has made a nest on a small island in the middle of the lake.
