Lazy Dog – A Restaurant Review
By Simran Jayasinghe
Not long ago, we went to lunch at the Lazy Dog restaurant in Temecula. We went on a Saturday, but it wasn’t overly crowded, we only had a 5 minute wait. Since the restaurant was named Lazy Dog, all the decorations had something to do with a dog, including two big statues of dogs made out of nails. The ambiance of the restaurant, the lighting, the lamps, made it look like a fancy restaurant.. However, we thought that the waiter’s outfits, jeans and a black t-shirt, didn’t match the ambiance of the restaurant.
My sisters and I ordered the ‘Build Your Own Pizza’. After a long wait, waiters brought us raw dough, parmesan cheese, cherries, pineapple bits, and pepperoni. We got to put the toppings on the pizza and then they took it back into the oven, which meant we had to wait even more!
If you are going to order the Build Your Own Pizza, just keep in mind that it needs some time. When we finally got our pizza back, we all agreed that it was good.
Our mom and dad both got the Avocado and Swiss Turkey Burger. When they finally got their burgers, after a long wait, they discovered that it was huge! It was so big that neither of them could, put their mouth around it, things kept falling out. My mom and dad had to eat their burger with a fork and knife! That looked funny!
I think that the wait to get our food was a little too long, and I think that they could have made my mom and dad’s burger at a more eatable size. Overall, I think we all enjoyed our visit to the Lazy Dog Restaurant.

The Muscular System – Science
By Simran Jayasinghe
The Muscular System is made up of muscles. There are two main types of muscles, voluntary muscles, and involuntarily muscles. There are also Skeletal muscles, Smooth muscles, and Cardiac muscles. Smooth Muscles are like the muscled that line the inside of your stomach. Cardiac and Smooth muscles are involuntary. Involuntary means that do things without you having to think about it. Voluntary means you need to think about it to do it. Skeletal Muscles are voluntary because you think before you move and your brain has to tell your muscles to move. Bones and muscles have to work together to allow you to move.

The Skeletal System – Science
By Simran Jayasinghe
The skeletal system is made out of our bones and our cartilage. Cartilage is tissue that’s flexible, like the cartilage in our noses. Some main type of bones are ribs, femurs, pelvis, and fibula. The place where two or more bones meet are called joints. Some types of joints are pivot joints, gliding joints, hinge joints and ball-and-socket joints. Your knee is a ball-and-socket joint. A pivot joint, for example, is found in the neck. If we didn’t have bones, we would be a lump of cartilage, skin, and organs. Bones are what make up our structure and shape. Our bones also allow us to move. If we didn’t have bones, we would have to stay still our whole lives! That would be pretty boring! They also protect some of your organs.Your ribs, for example, protects your lungs and heart. Strings of tissues that hold our bones together are called ligaments. Ligaments also help to keep us moving.
