Callum L @ Ngatea Primary School

This week was an okay week I finished all my work and didn't get in any trouble.A minus this week would be that we have been going swimming and I keep forgetting my togs,It also sucks that we swim in the morning.Another good thing this week is that I went to BMX and it was ribbon night and I came home with a 3rd place.

This week was not such a good week for me because I made some bad choices on Wednesday so I ended up somewhere else away from the class on Thursday, out of this the lesson I learnt was to not get to big for your boots and treat other people how you would like to be treated.Too solve my attitude and behaviour I am going to stay quite and not sit next to my friends because then I will get some more work done and and i have noticed I am a different person around my friends anyway. Something good this week was Tuesday because after school I went to BMX and I didn't do to bad so I was proud of myself first race I got a second not far behind the first-placer,second race I got a second again,but this time I was a little bit more behind the first-placer. Third race I managed to pull of the gate quicker witch lead me right next to my challenger an where I lose my chance of getting first i was in front of him at that point in this race,I was telling myself not to mess up and keep my speed up...

This week the word was  Disappear I enjoyed it this week because it wasn't that hard to do and there were lots of sentence ideas.

My IE Self Reflection What was the most important thing you learned? What was your favourite thing about this project? The most important thing I learned was that when you design Drift Trikes they design them to be as light as the can,so its easier to load and unload the Trikes off the trailers and it lets the Trike like better. My favourite thing about this was creating my video on drifting because it was fun to film with Blake and It was a very nice and sunny day. What changes did you make along the way? What was the toughest part?  How could you improve this the next time? I had to change a couple of questions because I couldn't get answers, it also helped with my driving question. To be honest the toughest part was researching the questions because drift trike aren't too popular yet next time I could email more people. What are your next steps or new ideas for next time? Make a better creation e.g I was going to make a model drift trike but I w...

Last week on Friday morning we went into the hall to present our IE,I reckon that is was pretty mean to share my learning with other students at my school.My IE was about Drift Trikes and the little fellas really quite liked looking at my Drift Trike.It was good because I had my Drift Trike on display.The worst thing was that the kids kept sitting on my Trike and when I told them to get off they didn't.

This week was pretty good I completed most of my work and on Thursday we had a go on  the go-kart and it was really fun.A minus of this week was apparently I didn't finish all my maths so I will have to be in workshops on it.

This week was and okay week with calf club on Wednesday for the ones that didn't do calf club we made some little sand creation/Garden things we also made some “Perfect Pikelets” with the pikelets we had to put one on the table to be judged by the teacher.I didn't win but I was fine with that because we got to eat the afterwards anyway.A minus this week was that the teachers were grumpy so we kept getting told off.

3 favourite experiences of this term and why… This year 3 of my favourite experiences of this term was LITM because I had a chance to teach them how to drift on Drift trikes,Also liked Pet Day because me and Tawa did a Prank on people.I have also loved entering into Made Awards because Its a good experiences. Something you have learnt? This term I have learnt more about reading. Something you would change from this term? This term I would change that learning and the making can go Goal for for next term? My goal for next term is to do longer blogpost's

For the past couple of weeks my class and I have been going down to the college to learn some volleyball tricks and today we had our tournament a thing I disliked was that there were some really annoying people the tried to play the game by them selves and kept going into other peoples positions. I also dint like the fact that we kept losing and had no chance of winning because only some people tried. A thing I like were our leaders because they were all supportive and they were all teaching us how to played and they loved doing it to.Overall tho I liked the experience and it was quite fun.

This week was a good week because It was a chilled week and there was no point of the week that i had to quickly finish work.I have also enjoyed the week because I am going to have a good weekend because we have something mint planned. A minus this week was that we made some posters and my buddy wasn't talking and that really grinded my gears.

This year I have raced at Paeroa BMX track and the season had finished at the start of the year the new season will be starting in October this year.I am very excited and can't wait to start racing again,One of my goals for when I get back on the track is to try and come first in my grade.It is quite a challenge to win in A grade because there is some people that race at nationals New Zealand.Another goal for me will be to get a better start on the gate and get my balancing sussed as I am not the greatest at balancing at the gate.I would also like to get more height on the jumps and pull the bike up with my body more than what I do.I can't wait for the season to start and get back on the track hopefully I do well and get some good ribbons to add to the collection.

This year me and a couple of others have been picked to enter into made awards the reason we got picked in the first place was because of my my future video.But in that video I was selling me as a Mechanic and I had to sell My business so I got a couple of friends to help me and this is the before and after.(My My future and Our made awards business one)

This week was an OK week on Wednesday I used the learning power Connecting because our whole class help Moana Nui for the day and we were connecting with them about their learning.It was not that fun because I didn't have the patience to listen to the little kids screaming.A minus this week was that I only had three days to complete all my work,Also this week me and a couple of my friends are entering in made awards so we filmed the video on Wednesday so i cant wait to enter.

If you are into cars and love modifying them 3D tuning is the website for you you can customising cars form a Nissan Silvia to a Kenworth truck,Harley Davidson and lots more when I say lots more there is every brand of car on there.I love this website because I love customising cars and it gives me a chance to customising my dream car to purchase it when i am older.

This is my email to Triad Drift Trikes NZ about my IE Hey guys my name is Callum Lang and I am a year 8 student from Ngatea Primary School,This year we are doing a project called IE which stands for Individual Endeavours.I am doing my IE on Drift Trikes because I am into Drift Trikes and own two myself,I would like to ask you a few questions and it would help a lot if you replied. Why do some Drift Trikes have more framing? Are Drift Trikes going to change in the future? Different modifications? How does riding a drift trike teach you about driving? How do you come up with different designs of Drift Trikes? Thanks,Callum

This week was a good week on Tuesday we had our school cross country,it wasnt that good tho I did heaps worse than what I thinked i will do.Next week it is huariki plains but i am not going cause I did not do to well.
