School House groups.

Hi I'm Ingrid and I'm from Wesley Intermediate School and at our school we have house groups.

Our House groups are named after castles/palaces. There are four houses each with their own colour.
I am in Windsor and it's colour is Yellow. The other houses are Edinburgh which is blue, Marlborough which is green and Sandringham which is red.

In my opinion Windsor is the best because it has a family sort of feel to it we all work together to earn housepoints and try our hardest at house activities. We are also yellow/gold which is the "winning colour" and we have Win in our name.

Ski trip to Mt Ruapehu

Hi I'm Ingrid and I'm from Wesley Intermediate School and this week I went skiing on Mt Ruapehu.

This week a small group of people went down to Mt Ruapehu to ski. We stayed at a luxury lodge called Mountain Heights Lodge. We were served breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was all optional and the food on offer was, Eggs, bacon, beans and toast. For dinner there were three courses. First course, the best pumpkin soup in the world, it’s so good that I now like pumpkin. Second course, Lasagne and coleslaw also delicious. Then the third course or dessert, two types of Ice cream, boysenberry and vanilla with chocolate and caramel sauces, sprinkles, Miss Davis’ birthday cake and a fruit salad.

The beds had electric blankets to keep you warm in the night but there were also lots of heaters. We snuggled up tight in the first night but we didn’t get to sleep until midnight or so. The second night we all fell asleep quite quickly because of how tired we were after a full day of skiing. During the second day it was too stormy to ski so we went to some hot pools at Taupo DeBretts then we watched a dam open to the Aratiatia rapids. We then got on a ferry that took us through the waikato river to Huka falls.

For dinner on the way there and the way home we had MACCAS (McDonalds) The lodge was a luxury lodge so we couldn't eat in the bedrooms.

Procedural writing.

Hi I'm Ingrid and I'm from Wesley Intermediate school and this week I have been learning how to write a procedure.
LO: To write a procedure for how to make a new google document. Writing a procedural/instructional piece of writing is what you would do if you wanted to create an instruction book like for crafts or a recipe. You start with a title and then you work your way through prep time and the equipment/ingredient lists. Why do you think we need to start with the title?
I found this task interesting and a little bit easy and we could not use any keyboard shortcuts and we had to base it using a google account.I would like to know why we need to learn how to write a procedure? Why do we need to write an equipment and an ingredient list? Why do we have success criteria? I would like to know about how to write a fully functional procedural piece. I think I need to work on making sure to use action words to start a step.

There are no boys in the team but we can manage without them. We have already had one competition and have a small group going down for AIMS. We will be competing in many other competitions. Please check out the other gymnasts blogs.
