We had a lovely morning walking along the Waikato River.
We had a close look at the old Paddle steamer The Rangiriri.
We sat and sketched the outline of the boat. There is not much left intact as it sat on the bottom of sand bank for 90 years! Parts of the Paddle steamer have rusted and broken off.
The Old Paddle Steamer Rangiriri
We have been learning all about the insects and birds that live along the river.
We were hoping to see Kingfishers and Fantails and big dragonfly insects!
The kingfisher eats fish and snails and lizards. They are colourful. They are purple and yellow and blue.
