Summer learning journey- Activity 2: Fabulous ferns

Silver ferns: Womens Netball
Black ferns: Women's national rugby union team
Football ferns: Women's national football team

Which of the three uniforms do you like best and why?

In general I think all three of the teams uniforms look great, but I think the best looking one would
be the Black ferns uniform. I think it looks the best because it’s very similar to the All blacks uniform
which is the men's team for rugby and so it makes sense to have the same uniform for the women.
Even though i’ve played netball in the past and i’ve worn the dress which is quite comfy,
i’m more of a t-shirt and shorts person.

Summer learning journey- Activity 1: Giants among us

Would you like to visit Tāne Mahuta one day, and why or why not?

I would love to visit Tāne Mahuta because this type of tree isn’t found anywhere else, and it would give
me an opportunity to learn something new and maybe even learn about some of the history of New Zealand.
I think it would also be cool to visit Tāne Mahuta because it would be a good experience to learn more
about NZ nature and even from looking at the picture, it looks stunning!

Country: United Kingdom

2 reasons why I chose this country:

• Because 2 of my favourite movies such as the Harry Potter series, and the fantastic beasts series, were both filmed in England and it would be cool to check out the hogwarts castle which was featured in these movies.
• Another reason is because one day I would like to travel around Europe and the United Kingdom is one of the countries in Europe I have been planning on to visit.
