Here is a fun 'scavenger hunt' style challenge for you to have a go at. 
Time yourself and see how long it takes for you to find the following:
1. Find something that is kōwhai
2. Find something that has the number        rima on it.
3. Find something that makes you koa.
4. Find some of your favourite kai.        

5. Find something that is ātaahua.

Scroll down for help with Te Reo meanings.
Perhaps you could collect the items and photograph them for me to post on the blog.
