Skeletons at the beach

This week has been a mystery because we have found 4 new species: Frank, Flapper, Pufferactos and Sack Man Joe.
This all started at the beach when we found a pufferfish skeleton. It was creepy and got me thinking about skeletons. We noticed that the driftwood looked like bones on the beach. That got us thinking, could we create new species from these bones? We took driftwood home and created skeletons of alien creatures. They tried to take over our minds but we wore protective headgear, metal bowls. I decided that the skull, ribs, spine and limbs are what gives a body a shape. I also put together 2 dinosaur skeleton kits and painted them wild colours.
I finished Artemis Fowl. It is an awesome book .5 out of 5 and deserves to be made into a movie!
We took Bam swimming in the river.
 On Saturday I'm going to the jousting festival in Upper Hutt. My best friend Bas and I might take part in the sword fighting.
See ya later peoples. The O.

  2. Wow, what a busy week! And so many new discoveries -- but hey, what about species that don't have skeletons? How do they work?

    Saw your trip to the Medieval Festival -- it looked very cool -- Especially like your helmet and shield.

  3. How big was the pufferfish? I've never seen one. It looks like your beach is made of little rocks. Ours is sand. Cool skeletons!
