CALLAN Peterson将自己描述为一个善于思考的读者。
四年级的Belair Public学生，今年只有10岁，从他有记忆开始他就一直从阅读中汲取知识，并且他很早就能指出别人的拼写错误，缺点，情节漏洞或一个不合理的结局。
“我会记得让自己不要在写作中犯同样的错误”CALLAN说。
“如果一本书说'他得到了救援，化险为夷'，我想知道他为什么要遇险？他是如何化险为夷的？以及是什么动力让他最终得到好的结局？
“我还想从读者的角度来看，其中的角色是否可能采取的其他可行方式。“
“如果你只读不思考，那么书也许会看起来不错，但其实你阅读了更多不好的书而不是好书，而且你的写作技巧也不会好。”
Callan对于细节的关注得到了回报，他在新南威尔士州获得了该类别在学校写作的国际比赛和评估中的最高分后，被评为新一年最佳四年级作家。
学校可以邀请他们的学生参加数字技术，英语，数学，科学，拼写和写作。
Callan将于11月22日举行的仪式上获得新南威尔士大学ICAS奖章。
“我非常惊讶自己能够获得这项成就，这感觉很棒，”他说。
“我没有料到自己能得到第一，我只是想学习如何写得更好，看看我能达到什么高度。”
“我更擅长数学，然而写作只是今年的一个主要焦点。”
学生们有30分钟的时间被要求写一个简短的叙述，其中包括露营地，河流，火车或图书馆作为场景，以及一束鲜花，自行车或夹克作为对象。
Callan的One Thing讲述了一个青少年Dirk的故事，Dirk闯入一个图书馆，试图寻找一个视频游戏并不小心打碎了一瓶鲜花，还把书架像多米诺骨牌一样翻倒，最后自食恶果被一本牛顿的物理书砸中。
“这就是致命的幽默 - 你想要一些坏的事情发生在不太特别令人愉快的角色身上，”他说。
“它有一个环形的结局 - 他制造了自己的命运。
“它就像一个圆柱体，没有任何松散的末端像电池一样熄灭 - 它就像新的一样精致。”
Callan在科学和数字技术方面也获得了很高的荣誉 - 这意味着他在参与者中名列前茅。
他没有参加拼写比赛，而是在11月2日的Premier's Spelling Bee决赛中代表Hunter地区参赛，并且仍在等待他的英语和数学成绩。他想成为一名工程师。
Callan的“非常自豪”的妈妈Jenny说，她儿子的成功让他在竞选中有更多机会获得购买宠物鸡的金钱。
CALLAN Peterson describes himself as a critical reader.
The year four Belair Public student, 10, has been devouring books for as long as he can remember and isn’t afraid to point out when one has spelling errors, weak characters, a plot with holes or a nonsensical ending.
“I keep in mind that I’m not going to do that in my writing,” Callan said.
“If a book says ‘He leapt to the rescue and saved the day’ I want to know why did he save the day, how did he save the day and what made him want to save the day?
“I also like to note the other possible ways a character could have acted to make sense from a reader’s perspective.
“Sometimes books could be better and if you’re not thinking about that, then you read more bad books than good ones and get more bad writing techniques than good ones.”
Callan’s eye for detail has paid off, after he was named the best year four writer in NSW after receiving his category’s highest score in the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools writing paper.
Schools can invite their students to sit papers in digital technologies, English, mathematics, science, spelling and writing.
Callan will receive his University of NSW ICAS medal at a ceremony on November 22.
“I was very surprised and it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to get this achievement,” he said.
“I was not hoping to come first, I just wanted to learn how to write better and see how I went.
“I’m more naturally inclined towards maths, so writing has only become a major focus this year.”
Students were given 30 minutes and asked to write a short narrative featuring either a campsite, river, train or library as the setting and a bunch of flowers, a bicycle or jacket as an object.
Callan’s One Thing tells the story of teen Dirk, who storms into a library looking for a video game and knocks over a vase of flowers, sending bookshelves toppling like dominoes throughout the room and one of Newton’s physics books on top of him.
“It’s Deadpool kind of humour – you want something bad to happen to characters who aren’t particularly pleasant,” he said.
“It has a circular ending – he’s sealed his own fate.
“It’s like a cylinder, there were no loose ends poking out like a dead battery – it was like new and packed some punch.”
Callan also received a high distinction – meaning he is in the top one per cent of participants – in science and digital technologies.
He didn’t sit the spelling competition, but is representing the Hunter at the Premier’s Spelling Bee final on November 2, and is still waiting for his results in English and maths. He wants to be an engineer.
Callan’s “very proud” mum Jenny said her son’s success had boosted his campaign to buy pet chickens.
