The Legend of New Zealand

Today we need to list some facts about New Zealand.

Here are my facts

New Zealand is also called Aotearoa which means "land of the long white cloud"

Queen Elizabeth II is officially the Queen of New Zealand she is represented in our country by a Governor General who is Dame Patsy Reedy. She has been our Governor General since 2016.

Fabulous Ferns
Today we had to name all the NZ sports teams with the words "fern" in their names.

There are 7 teams that have fern in their name - Silver Ferns (Netball), Black Ferns (Rugby), Tall Ferns (Basketball), Kiwi Ferns (League), Football Ferns (Football), White Ferns (Cricket), Ice Fernz (Ice Hockey!)

Black Ferns

These are my top 3.

Black Ferns (Rugby)
White Ferns (Cricket)
Tall Ferns (Basketball)

I like the Black Ferns Jersey because it is simple and because I like the hidden designs in it.

White Ferns

I like the White Ferns jersey because it has a
cool fern design. I also like it because it stands 
out in the pink. 

Tall Ferns

I like the Tall Ferns singlet because it has cool 
designs down the side. Also because it is simple and it is a cool looking black/grey.
