Welcome back to term 3. It’s going to be fun! Loads on offer for everyone.
Thank you to the families who have filled in the notice that went home this week outlining term 3 sports, EOTC and Cultural events. If you haven’t got a notice, please let us know!

Just a reminder about the skiing. If you wish to use the opportunity to ski, please ring and talk to me. I am more than happy to book it through the school at school rates. We will make your child present for the day and you may even get together with other friends. The price of $85 covers a lesson, all mountain pass, ski boots and poles...or snowboard gear. It’s the same price for everyone. The Kiwi Hub will go up tobogganing. My apologies, it is $30 (this covers the bus as well as the tobogganing) as one handout said differently.

After lockdown some of our Year 7 and 8 students wrote letters to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern thanking her for providing the Ministry of Education hard packs that were delivered to homes and to tell her about their lockdown experiences. To their surprise a reply showed up in the mail signed by Jacinda personally thanking them and saying that she enjoyed the photos! How awesome!
Welcome back to Term 3 in Moa Hub! We are so excited to see everyone back and ready to go! We have also welcomed a new Year 8 student: Amorangi Ormsby to our hub! We have an exciting term of learning ahead with lots of events, activities and opportunities for the students! A letter has gone home and is also on the Facebook Page with all cultural and sporting events for the term - this gives information, costs and
permissions for all events! Please take the time to complete this form and send it back this week! Some of the awesome activities we have available in Term 3 are: Arts Splash, Basketball, Netball, Rippa Rugby, Year 8 White Water Rafting, Cross Country, Mud Run and Skiing. Term 3 is also the NVS Speech Competition. All students are expected to create and deliver a speech this term. A letter with all speech information went home earlier this week, it’s also posted on the Moa Hub Facebook page. The first round of speeches for all students is Week 5, the week beginning 17 August. Ka kite!

A big nau mai, haere mai to Amorangi, Tiaho and Hinemoa Ormsby
and Karmarose Griffin who started at NVS this week.
Kia ora koutou, the Huia Hub have had a fantastic start to the term charging straight into our learning! This Week we welcome Tiaho into our whānau and she has slotted in like she was always here! Yesterday we had the pleasure of planting harakeke at the Te Urunga farm with Mr Pepper! It was fun and humbling for the kids to be able
to give back to the community and the trust that supports our kura with koha towards buses and other things throughout the year! Have a fantastic week! Ngā mihi, Huia Hub.

Why do fish live in salt water? Because pepper makes them sneeze! Welcome back to a fantastic fun-filled Term 3! We are learning all about agriculture and the history of farm machinery in our quest and reading assignments. In maths, we are going through our basic facts, so please practice at home! A note for the Year 5’s & 6’s, the camp
deposit due date is coming up really fast, so please make sure that is paid or contact us if there are any queries. A reminder to all to bring back the sports and events notice by tomorrow if you haven’t already done so. Thank you. Tui Team out!
