One of the most common plants found in New Zealand forests is the fern. It is a special, iconic symbol of New Zealand. You will find pictures of ferns on the jerseys of many famous sporting teams in New Zealand, including the New Zealand All Blacks.
Did you know that many of these teams also have the word ‘fern’ in their name? Use your best researching skills to find three New Zealand sporting teams who use the word ‘fern’ in their title.

Do you want to find out an interesting fact about the 'Black Ferns' sports team? Although they wear a silver fern on their jersey, the name 'Black Ferns' come from the black tree fern (mamaku) which is New Zealand’s tallest tree fern!
If you were a designer, what would the uniform look like? Would you still keep the silver fern or change the colour? I'd love to know. :)
Talk soon,
Susie
