Blog 1.1 - “New chapter?” - Huda G11

 


Back in AEP 

We’re back! After a few months of our summer holiday, we’re finally back in school. We faced a few days off due to the typhoon but nonetheless, managed to have our first day of AEP last Wednesday. I must say, this is the first time we’ve had most of the chairs in the class occupied haha! It really was something to get used to but I guess this means our classes may or may not become more and more livelier hehehe…We started off with,  as usual, a starter game. Although I was expecting to play one of the games we played last year, Miss Disa had surprised us with the fact that she has discovered more “-dle” game. It was exciting to introduce to our new joiners of AEP our on-going tradition/routine for each lesson and I hope they get to see the fun of this class. After that, we were introduced to a new system where we had to draw “Mini-me’s” to stick on the bulletin board outside the class. This would help us keep track of our assignment and maybe any projects. I think it’s a brilliant idea to see our progress and to not procrastinate eheheh…

Before we started school, AEP students had to take a small quiz based on what they would be learning this year and our knowledge on vocabulary. I got a sense that we might be slightly more busier this year just from looking at our curriculum for this year but I appreciate how organised and well planned out the terms were. Looking forward to it! In terms of vocabulary, I’m glad we get to touch more on that topic this year as it has been something that I regularly struggle on in my writing. 


A new start!

Finally entering senior high! Honestly, it’s a lot of pressure especially since we’re getting closer to applying for universities and thinking about what we want to do or be int he future. It’s something I didn’t really think much about in grades 9 and 10 so when I was told that I had to already choose a strand before grade 11, it hit me like a truck. As of now, i’m still not quite confident whether I have made the right choice as I tend to overthink about a lot of things, especially in my future. 

I used to take IB so when I entered this school and heard that it was organised into strands, it kind of put me to a block as I was confused as to what subjects I desired to take since I didn’t really have that many options but I guess there’s an opportunity cost to everything we do and choose. 

This year, I wish to improve more of my lifestyle in terms of health and my mental state. I plan in doing that by working on my time management, sleep schedule and day-to-day routine in hopes that it will help me improve my academic grades and overall lifestyle. 

Buhbyeee !!

The "Queen of Vocab" - Blog 1.5 - Aire M.

Hello... to pretty much no one. Probably no one except Miss Disa reads these blogs, no matter how much effort I put into them. I really like writing these blogs, as they are my way of venting all my feelings and thoughts out into the void. With that being said, here's the blog :) Yeah, sorry for the short intro today. I'm feeling sleepy 😪   10/02/23 Today in AEP, we used the whole 5th period trying to complete Squaredle , and in the last 10 minutes, Miss told us we'd get 7 merits each if we finished. It didn't seem like a long way off, as we just had 14 words left. We didn't get the 7 merits, but we only had... 7 words left? Still pretty good. In the second period, Miss Disa explained how exams can trick you. Well, to be more specific, questions that, if you didn't read the instructions, you could get wrong. And those questions were very easy. All you had to do was read the instructions. But somehow, even the smartest people can get tricked. (Honestly, Summer,...

Peanuts!! - Blog 2.1 - Aire M.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the world of Blogger! I am your writer, Aire Marcellana, presenting to you a blog of quality writing, containing a girl's simple hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams crushed knowing like 5 people reads these. I do still find fun in writing these, however, especially since I love to write. Our first few lessons in the 2nd term proved to be quite fun and entertaining to write about. I got a bit stressed on our first lesson, but all in all, a fantastic start to the new term. Reflecting on last term, although I did put effort into AEP, I didn't prioritize it as much as I should've, even if it is a minor subject. I am grateful I got a good grade, yet I have high hopes for the terms to come. 11/06/23 We started off our term 2 with some good old Squaredle . Grades 7, 9, and 10 have already paved the way to finishing the Squaredle by having already completed the easy words. With 63 out of 79 words settled, our class went on a journey to get all of th...

Short. Sweet. Simple! - Chloe Lloveras- Blog 1 T1- AEP10

      Back at it again! The new school year has begun and AEP along with it. But this year, it comes with a twist: a much more jam-packed schedule and more essay-writing. Did I mention that the vocabulary quizzes are back and that blogs will be more frequent now? No? Well, you're in for a treat!      We hadn't even met for the first session yet, but we were already juggling assessments like a syllabus quizlet, a "what's your English level?" test, and even a knowledge quiz about IELTS writing task one, something I haven't encountered before. When our first meeting did commence, it wasn't until a week later due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds so classes were canceled. As you might've guess, we were already behind and AEP hadn't even begun yet!  Before starting, Miss Disa established the basics for the new school year: 1. Every meeting will begin with a word game with a five-minute time limit. If we don't finish in time, we'll still mov...
