Winiata’s Blog

I aim to improve in tech arts (music, art, food, sewing, wood work and especially science).

This I have completed by attending tech arts as often as possible. I’ve also been better at science by becoming a science monitor and completing my science fair project and becoming a finalist.

I aim to be a good role model as a House captain.

I’ve done this by attending singing assemblies often, and trying to make a good impression when I’m up on the stage. I’ve also tried my best in inter house sports.

I aim to improve on my instrument (tenor saxophone) by doing practice 4 x a week.

I have definitely become better at playing my saxophone, but I didn’t quite get to practising 4 times a week.

I aim to try my best in sports. Also, I want to be better in Cross Country by getting fit.

I think I have tried my best in sports by getting involved in more sports and practising them. I have seen an improvement in my cross-country running because I’m getting furtherer ahead of most people when we run.

I aim to extend on my kapahaka experience by attending every Noho (live in) and joining in every event and competition they attend.

This year I have learnt many more songs, and I’ve attended as many meetings as possible.

I aim to work well with others (Term 1 work group) and by myself.

I have been a bit better when working with groups, but I still need to work on this.

I aim to get my work finished early so I won’t have to worry about anything for the rest of the week.

I have completed this aim with some of my work, but I have had times where my work was handed in late.

I aim to improve in my ICT skills (multi-media experience, typing, and computers) by practising at home on my computer.

Typing on the computer has become easier for me now because I have done it more times, and I am becoming faster. I am also more confident on the computer, especially on the internet and my blog.

I aim to write an interesting post on my blog every week and write a constructive comment on someone’s blog.

I have tried to do this, but lately I have been too busy to write a blog post and post a comment.

I aim to improve with my reading, which means going to the town library every fortnight and reading a book each week.

I think I have become better at reading, but I haven’t been going to the town library every week.
