Do you know what Archaeopteryx is?

Notes

Archaeopteryx shares unique features with theropods.

Theropods were ancestors of birds.

The birds were just a branch on the dinosaur’s tree of life.

Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs, many of their characteristics have changed.

Theropods are closely related to birds.

One of the evidence that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs is the changes in the bones of the dinosaurs that evolved into birds.

Birds after Archaeopteryx continued to evolve in some of the same directions as  their theropod ancestors.

Yay, I got my early present!

On Saturday night, I went to the Night Market at Pakuranga with my uncle because he was leaving on my birthday to go to Wellington for fashion week.

I went with him and he said, “Wait for my friend because I have some money to give to her. When they came, my uncle gave the money and she said, “Are you coming to the club?”
My uncle said, “Yes.”. After that , we headed off to the Night Market.

Soon, we got to the Pakuranga shopping centre, the car parks were so full but luckily we found a car park. When we got inside, I saw a lot of people and we had a look around. My uncle said,” Do you want anything for your birthday. I said, “Yes.” So I went to the hats section and I chose a Simpsons hat. I also chose a New South Wales hat and my uncle got 2 as well. The Simpsons hat was $20 and the New South Wales hat was $15.

After, we got the hats, we found a sticker to put on his phone. I found one and it was called ’I’m a Box’. It had lots if people with box head on it. However, my uncle said, “I will get it later

Then  we went to the side that had the food stalls and brought a Madness BBQ MIX Combo for my mum. It costed $13 dollars. I bought a box of Popcorn Chicken. After that, we went back to see if the sticker for the phone was still there.

After checking it  out again, my uncle told them to put it on and then he paid for it. While we were waiting, I saw a Minecraft necklaces and they have diamonds, hoes, swords and a creeper on it. I also saw an action figures of One Pieces and Dragon Ball Z.

Soon after, we went to McDonald’s for dinner. I bought a Cheeseburger and a frozen coke. Then we went home and I had my dinner while I watched some T.V. I watched Adventure Time and Regular Show.

It was fun going out with my uncle because he brought my early present. I will miss him when he goes back to Wellington.

Dance with Jesus!

"Lord Of The Dance"

I danced in the morning when the world was begun

I danced in the Moon, and the stars, and the Sun

I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth

At Bethlehem I had my birth.

Dance then, wherever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee

They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me

So I danced for the fishermen James and John

They come with me and the Dance went on:

Dance then, wherever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on the Sabbath and cured the lame

The holy people, they said it was a shame!

They whipped and stripped and then hung me high

Left me there on a cross to die!

Dance then, wherever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black

It's hard to dance with the devil on your back

They buried my body and they thought I'd gone

But I am the Dance and I still go on!

Dance then, wherever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

They cut me down but I leap up high

I am the Life that will never never die!

I live in you if you live in Me

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be

For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

Can you beat my high score in Bop it beats?

On the weekend, I watched a movie with my mum and baby brother. It was called ‘The Rundown’, starring Dwayne Johnson and Seann William Scott. It was about Dwayne Johnson bringing a boy back home from the Amazon Jungle. They went hunting for treasure. Then I watched Pokemon Black and White and the episode was about pokemons battling each other.

After the episode had finished, I asked my mum if I could go and play Bop it beats in my bedroom because my baby brother was sleeping. She said, “In the morning because my dad is still asleep”. So I waited until it was 10’ o'clock in the the morning. I kept watching T.V and finally it was time. I ran as fast as a Ferrari to my bedroom.

When I got to my bedroom, I started playing the game. They had four popular songs and they songs were Pound the Alarm and Levels. Pound the Alarm was by Nicki Minaj and Levels was by Avicii. There are five moves and they are Bop it, spin it, flip it and reverse it. My highest score was 100.

After that, I played Roblox. After I  logged onto my account, I played Pokemon Adventure. I had 8 Pokemons and some of them are Minun, Wartortle, Electrode and Psyduck. I evolved my Voltorb at Level 30 and I tried to evolved my wartortle into Blastoise at Level 36. I also earned my fourth gym battle badge at Lemondrop city.

I wish I had time to play more Bop it beat and watched more movies. Next time I might play more Bop it beats instead of Roblox because it is more fun.
