Whitby Lake Walk

Today VH and RD class walked to Whitby Lake to see the wildlife that live amongst us in Whitby. We are truly lucky to live in this wonderful area and be able to see these birds whenever we wish.  It was another great way to appreciate our native and introduced wildlife.  Big thanks to the Abbotts who joined us.







The kids loved seeing the waterfowl, especially the ducklings.

The Amazing Kapiti Island



We had an amazing day on Kapiti Island.  Our adventure began on board Kapiti Island Charters.  It was the first time on a boat for quite a few of the VH kids so it was a very exciting start.  We met with Jackie who talked about the wildlife and history of Kapiti.  Then it was off in our groups.   We saw all sorts of native wildlife including weka, takahe, keruru, fantail, hihi and  even a very cheeky kaka.

The kids were amazing.  Some even reached the summit of the island.  Well done to you all.  You should be very proud of the achievement of getting to the top!

A big big thank you to the wonderful parents who joined us on our trip!  You were amazing.
