Going to camp this summer
By: Alyssa Brock
In this article I am going to tell you about some of the things that I did while I was at MaxOut Discipleship Camp in July this summer.
First, when I got there I noticed that there were different routes that you could take. When we were just sitting there waiting in the car, I said let's take this path. Then, when we went down that path, we were able to help some people unload their cars. I went over to the other side of the kitchen which was where we were unloading at and I saw a lot of horses so I got a chance to pet one of them. Then, the next thing you know they are calling out ‘’Does anyone want to ride a horse if so come to the barn’’.
Secondly, I went and played a game called carpet ball. The table is kind of like a pool table but skinnier. You use the same pool balls as you would if you were actually playing pool. However, the objective of the game is to get all of the other player’s”balls into your holes. You also have to play the game with your bare hands; you do not use the pool sticks. I won the tournament that we had and that was my first time playing it.
Next, I went paddle boating out in the lake. I almost fell off because there were two people riding and the weight was not the same on each side. I went very far out in the lake and then the paddle boat got stuck on a lot of moss. They had more than one paddle boat so the other paddle boat had to try and get us off of the moss.
Then, I went and played a game called shaving cream wiffle ball. It is kind of like baseball but you use shaving cream and then there is a slipping slide that you run on and then you fall in a little swimming pool. The game overall was the funnest thing that I did down there.
Last but not least, They have a thing called Polar Bear. The game is that when they say ‘’polar bear’’, you go and jump into a big pool. Then we will have to see which team can get back to the game square the fastest. That was not that fun because the water was pretty cold.
In conclusion, I hope that you like my article about Camp. Overall I had a really good time.
Different types of animals
Dula Lopez
Blue whales aren’t just the #1 largest mammals to live in the sea, but they are also the largest on PLANETTT!!!. Blue whales can live up to 80-90 years, they can weight up to 330,000 pounds, and their maximum length is of around 80 feets, females are usually larger in length, usually around 75-79 ft, meanwhile males are from 66-69 feets.
Fun fact: the longest blue whale ever measured was 111 feet long.
The most popular thing for a blue whale to eat is krill, but they can also eat many other different things, like copepods, fish, plankton, or crustaceans that are floating on the ocean. Can blue whales be eaten?The answer is YESSS!!!Blue whales can be eaten by “orcas' ', they usually only attack claves, and not adults, obviously an adult blue whale is 2-3 times bigger than calves, they are usually around 20-23 feets long. A female blue whale gives birth every 2-3 years, and only 1 calve per time, calves usually weigh from 5,000- 6,000 pounds, blue whales produce 50 gallons of milk a day.
Birds- The largest bird ever existed yet is a common ostrich.Ostriches have their own made dict, which means that they eat a lot of types of plants, including leafy greens, flowering plants, and succulents. An ostrich can live for around 30-40 years, measure up to 9 feets tall, and weigh around 250-300 pounds. An ostrich lays 80-160 eggs per season, and each egg weighs around 700 to 1500 g. Population raises ostriches, for their meat, they can earn a living by selling their meat, and ostrich meat is more expensive than most of all the meats.
Octopus- octopus are one of the most popular invertebrates animals, that can also be eaten. Octopus are an 8 armed species. Examples: The veined octopus, the O. vulgaris, and the Giant Pacific Octopus. The Giant Pacific Octopus has an arm span of almost 30 feet. Adult octopuses eat crabs, small fishes, snails, clams, and also other octopuses, and they often hunt at night. Newly hatched octopuses eat mostly small foods, like sea stars, copepods, and larval crabs.
Reptiles-Lizards are the most popular reptiles.Some people might think that lizards mostly live in the water, which they really don’t, they spend time on water, but they are most likely to be found in dry deserts, in trees, and plants. Lizards are most likely to only live for about 5 years, but they can live up to the triple, in some very small towns lizards can hunt, to either get selled or EATEN!!!. A large adult lizard can weigh up to 155 pounds, and around 3 meters/ 10 feets. Lizards are not so expensive animals, they can cost from $15 to $150, and can be used as pets.
Amphibians-Frogs are the most popular amphibians. Frogs can be found everywhere, mostly in humid places.
Weird fact; I’m not scared of frogs, but I don’t like seeing them AT ALL!. Most of the frogs are very little in size, the largest frogs are only 1 foot, and weigh up to 3.25 kilograms. Frogs lay their eggs in water, and they lay approximately 80 eggs, and only once a tear
Class Field Trip
By: Sam Deese
Last Friday, I was able to go on a field trip with my classmates to AO Smith. AO Smith is the biggest water heating and cooling company in North America. This was such a fun time because I had not been on a field trip with my classmates since the 3rd grade. Also, I learned a lot. We were split into groups and then went to different stations and learned all about the job opportunities they had there. They had jobs like welding, 3D printing, all kinds of engineering, and many more. I could definitely see why someone would want to work there.
The first station my group went to was a problem solution station. We had a tennis ball and all nine people had to touch it but the person next to you couldn't touch it right after you so that made it much more challenging. The goal of the game was to get the lowest time for all of the people to touch it. We had a time limit to solve all of the problems we faced and we ended up getting four seconds which wasn’t the best but was better than most groups.
The next station was by far my favorite, although I probably only say this because I had tied the highest score for the day, it was still really fun. It was welding! It was so much fun, we got to put on a VR headset and we held a replica of a welding gun and welded in the VR. Also the medal you were “welding”, was there in real life so it really felt real. Another reason it was my favorite station was because the guys in there were so cool, nice, & talkative to my group.
Another station that I really enjoyed was one where we got to ride around the warehouse on a golf cart. I liked this one because it was really cool riding around and seeing people welding and programming and building the coolers/warmers. I also didn’t truly realize how big the warehouse was until we did this, there were hundreds of people working on these machines. A plus for the ride was that the driver was really funny so that was fun.
Lastly, my last station is where I played tic tac toe against a robot. It was crazy that it could do what it was doing. Which, I'm not going to lie, it wasn’t the best or unbeatable by any means, but I’m not going to criticize it, I could never build a robot. My favorite part about this station though was that whenever you won or lost it either celebrated, or it was sad which I thought was really cool.
Finally, they fed us some really good food and a good cookie and then we rode home. I think AO Smith was a really cool workplace. I enjoyed going on a field trip with my classmates and I hope I get to go again.

I chose this topic because I play football for New Heights.
Football was invented in November of 1869 by William Webb Ellis. The first football game was
between two colleges called Rutger and Princeton. Football was started as a spin off of British
football (soccer) and has grown a lot.
Football is played on a field that is 100 yards long and about 50 yards wide. Then has 10 yard
end zones where touchdowns are scored, with a goal post that the football is kicked through for
an extra point. Football is played with 11 people from each team so in total there are 22 people
on the field at once. There are many different positions on a football team. I play center. The
play starts when I snap the ball. But there are 23 more positions that are all important.
When people think about football lots of people think about the NFL (National Football League) .
The NFL was invented in 1920 by Walter Camp. There are 32 teams in the NFL. Every year the
2 best teams in the NFL will play in the Super Bowl which is watched by over 113 million people.
In conclusion Football is an amazing sport. It is watched by millions of people every year. This is
my article about Football.
