Apple Crumble
Today, we tasted a delicious apple crumble using Ingrid’s recipe, We had a taste, we only tasted a little. She managed to make this with her friend Ella! I suggest that you add ice cream or cream to make it more extraordinary!
Mass Effect 3
When the universe was created, a broad and strong species called Leviathans ruled the universe. Leviathans were known as Gods, their species created a brand new organism that was commanded to preserve the Gods inside a chamber. But the new organism betrayed them and created a new species similar to Leviathans known as the reapers. The reapers was stronger than Leviathans, so the remaining Gods left the universe and hid away from the reapers.
The reapers created a cycle, where they would go to different galaxies and destroy evolving communities. The cycle was called the cleansing of universe the cycle continued, when the reapers invades the planets of evolving communities. They drop High Tech items in that planet for future living organism to adapt and evolve faster. One billion years after the destruction of the previous species, new species were created and evolved very quickly that they built rocket ships and a launcher that allows them to travel through the speed of light. A species called humans discovered the technology that the reapers dropped and joined the alien community that was located in outer space.
A human called Maxwell joined the community that was located in space. The humans and the thousands different species of aliens doesn’t know anything about the cleansing of the universe. The multi species community located a machine which allows the reapers to reach their galaxy with a blink of an eye. They destroyed it and dismantled it, the reapers was awoken from their deep slumber and started to do the cycle. They realised the machine which was used to teleport them from galaxies was destroyed. So they sent out a special type of reaper called the blue reaper that travels at a fast rate and allows the other reapers of mass destruction to teleport to the special one they created.
Once the the blue reaper arrived to the galaxy where humans and different types of species evolved. Maxwell asked the blue reaper some questions, “Why are you in this Galaxy?” The reaper looked at Max and said, “Genetic Mutations and Living organisms are an accident. We are the beginning and the end. We are infinite, before us. You are nothing!” The reaper started shooting the ships of the multi galactic community. Maxwell was furious, he destroyed the blue reaper and stopped the teleportation process and allowing the other reapers to travel there much slower and less organised. But Maxwell’s bravery got him killed during the process.
A species called the collectors was enslaved by the reapers instead of destroying their community completely. Instead the reaper demanded them to destroy the human race. The collectors started invading Earth and started turning humans into slaves. A few years after the collector’s attack, Maxwell was revived by a rich man named Carl. The guy who revived him explained Max about the invasion in Earth.
Maxwell infuriated about the invasion, he decides to take revenge and travel to Earth. He intended to discover the traces of the collector and destroy their ship in order to retrieve the enslaved humans back. Max’s plan worked, they destroyed the collectors and recover humans back from slavery.
Max and the galactic community thought the war was over. Billions of reapers has arrived out of nowhere causing mass destruction to the whole Galaxy but the attack was more unorganised than previous attacks. Most of the species were at the brink of extinction and was going to die out if they won’t make a plan. Max and his genius friends discovered an ancient paper that contains a plan to create a device to stop the cycle and destroy all the reapers getting rid of them in this universe. It seems the species who created the plan ran out of time and failed to create the device.
So the human species and the other intelligent aliens started creating the device that will wipe out the reapers ending the cycle. Once the device was near to completion, most planets that was inside the solar system was almost destroyed by havoc that the reapers created. That era of species already lost hope and gave up. But Max and his other friends hasn’t gave up and turned on the device obliterating the reapers out of this universe stopping cycle once and for all. The multi species continued evolving and the Leviathans stopped hiding and created their own community.

Your, a wizard Harry!
Once upon a time, a guy named Harry obtained wizardry powers through a magic wand created by a mystical wizard. This allowed him to manipulate fire, wind and water. He learned about his powers when he was alone in the the forest and was really desperate on starting a fire, for warmth and food. Harry has used his powers to help people to make their everyday deeds easier for them. The wizard was noticed and became famous in that village.
The king of that village had noticed Harry’s powers and took action. The noble king wanted to hire a young man Hagrid who was Harry’s best friend to convince Harry to come to his castle and to do his bidding. The king requested his knights to find Hagrid and bring him to the king. Off went the guards, once the honourable knights came back with Hagrid. The king said, “Hagrid, can you bring your best friend Harry to this very castle? It will be worth your while.”
Hagrid went to Harry’s house and tried to persuade Harry to come to the castle. Hagrid said, “Hey, Harry! The king is rewarding you for the good deeds you have been doing for the village.” The young wizard was flattered and flied to the castle using his powers. Once Harry arrived to the front gate. He was locked inside the castle with his best friend Hagrid beside the king. The king had a wicked look on his face.
Harry asked the king, “What’s this all about?” With the king’s face and uncanny cackle. Harry knew there was something wrong about this. “What about my reward?” said Hagrid.
“About that, there is no reward!” replied the king with an evil laugh. The wicked king pulled a lever placing Hagrid to a dungeon. Harry was terrified and tried to stop the king. The knights who worked for the king attacked the young wizard. Harry defended the attack using his magical powers and defeated the knight. The king realised that Harry was too strong for him to enslave. The white flag was risen up by the king and gave up the fight. The evil ruler had to release Hagrid or Harry will hurt him.
Once Hagrid was released by the ruler of the town. He apologized to his best friend Harry for trying to sell him to that wicked king. Harry accepted his apology and went with their lives, helping people.

Examination of Conscience!
What is an examination of conscience?
Its when you confess your sins to the parish priest during the Sacrament of Reconciliation, or it is contrition which means a deep regret or feeling guilty for making a wrong decision.
Why would it be helpful?
It is helpful because it makes you recognise your sins and ask the priest to be forgiven. The priest can give you advice for the guilt that you’ve created.
When would the church invite people to do this?
It happens during the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Which is held in May 27 to June 3.
A person was caught stealing something small which was made into a pattern and which resulted for the person to become a thief. If he had examined his conscience earlier, he would have prevented the theft and not get caught.
Walht: Recognise the importance of using one’s conscience.

Guy Fawkes Day (Origin)
Guy Fawkes day known as Bonfire and Firework night, is an annual event celebrated every 5th of November to remember the fail assassination of the king of England around that time. The history of the event started in November 5 when a member of the Gunpowder plot named Guy Fawkes was arrested, trying to guard the explosives that plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Inside the House of Lords was King James 1, which had survived during the failed assassination of the King. People lit bonfires and celebrated the failed attempt on killing the King. Months after the event, the Observance of 5th November act enforced an annual public day to thank the plot’s failure.

All saints day!
If I was confirmed I would choose saint Joseph.
Saint Joseph was a young carpenter chosen by God to be Mary’s husband. He had done lots of good deeds in his time and he took good care of Jesus when his son was just a young child. Joseph has believed in God and never stopped believing in God. Joseph always fulfilled his promise on raising a wonderful child.

Statistical Analysis
WALHT: To write a survey using Google form and use the survey results to create a graph and analyse data to make a pie graph.
Out of 6 people. The most action selected to use if they faced an encounter with a zombie was to either fight with it or befriend it. Interestingly, equal percentages were shown in the display showing their choice being to run away or shoot the Zombie.
The graph was completed by surveying 6 people. Half of them prefer meat over any type of the food shown in the graph. The other 50% were divided equally into ⅓ of categories of types food.
This survey was completed using only 6 people. Half of the people prefer First Person Shooting games than any other types of games. The other games only have 1 votes on each.
5 out of 6 people that were examined were male. While the rest are female. This shows to me that, more boys plays first person shooting games than girls.
