Back To The Future — Leowyn's 1st Blog

    Welcome back to one of Leo's hilarious blogs of the famous class of AEP! I have read the last few blogs from the grade 8, and it is indeed amazing to be reminded that I'm now one of the seniors! (Well, it's slightly scary). However, I can't say I'm not eager to learn about what's going to happen this year. My initial thoughts of AEP, when I first came, were quite dull and different. But now, I'm great to be back, writing to my heart's content.

    Before heading right into the future, let us take a trip down memory lane. Last year, we learnt grammar. It was a year of preparation for the preparation of IELTs. To say I haven't been warned about how much the essays seem to pressure would be a definite understatement; I have been fearing for writing words on a piece of paper for a few minutes. Anyway, I digress. Perusing my last blog post in grade 9 has not been fun, reminiscing how much effort I decided to splatter into typing it. Last year, we began the year with past tenses, then to passives, and causatives (which was a personal favorite because of ... ), then to conditionals, and finally one grammatical error of our own choice. It was a great year, sans the yowling to go face-to-face classes. If I were to bring back one part of grade 9, it would probably be the group project where one of us (I was picked on!) was selected to be the leader, and we all collaborate and form one presentation—in last year's case, a video—altogether.

    So, let's head into the future. This year, we will stop the preparing of the preparation of IELTs, and begin the preparation of IELTs! One step forward! In addition to that, we will have the vocabulary quizzes, which I, for a second, thought that we had to memorize 100 words until someone pointed out it was only 15. Along with them, we would have scrabble days, DOGO news, and the fantastic projects to pair up with the delectable bundle of sweet essays that's bundled up (with agony) and ready to go!

    My thoughts this year are merely of what you'd expect from an average high school student: "Goodness, am I really going to survive!?" Because, one, I don't think I am going to, and two, I'm probably visiting monsters of assignments that I'm going to have to fight against with a blunt stick and a dream. If that isn't the greatest analogy that I could ever come up with for the stress I have for my GSCEs, then I won't ever know what is!

    So, as I read through this final draft and have my thoughts all written on paper—or typed on the monitor—I ready myself for this new school year with a fresh mindset, a pair of converse shoes and around 50 new notebooks that will probably go empty in the end of the year. I guess I overestimated the number of essays we'd do.

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

yet another blog for this week

 yet again we do the thing where we type what we remember about the stuff that happened this week. So, there's not much tbh, there isn't much going on other than I picked up EP again since I think I'm suffering withdrawal with notoriety getting taken down and I'm cooking some video I made with someone showcasing some stupid shenanigans. So yeah is fine cruising so far (but so far)

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...
