Today for Inquiry we had a scavenger hunt were we had to find some of our native animals. There were slides to choose from and I chose the kōtare - New Zealand kingfisher. We had to find out the answers to all of these questions.
I enjoyed finding the answers because they were easy to find.
I found it tricky to find all the stuff that was hiding on the first page.
Here it is.
Answers:
What is my Maori name? - kōtare
