Aleena - BLOG #6 - Grade 8

 Back with another blog this time. Except, it’s extremely long. This week has been pretty hectic. Upcoming quizzes, projects, more homework and other assessments I have yet to accomplish! Also, final examinations are getting closer each day. Which means I have to study harder and hope for the best. Whoops! I kept you waiting for the blog. Okay here it is!


October 09 -  A Chaotic Squardle Game

From the time we started till the time we ended, I’m telling you, there wasn’t one minute of silence. There was always at least one person shouting. It was almost the end of the school day, and you could tell, I had no clue what the class was doing. Me, who doesn’t get enough sleep, was exhausted. But that didn’t stop me from participating in the game. The more words we got, the harder it got. As the easy words were guessed, we were left to ponder the remaining words, which was a bit difficult.  I found this tiring but on the bright side it made me communicate and work out the words with my fellow classmates. Which was extremely fascinating. Sadly, we weren’t able to guess all the words in time. Which was really devastating as I was really looking forward to accomplishing the game. Oh well, better luck next time!


October 09 - Preparation for the Vocab Quiz #5

It was pretty much the same as last week. But this time, Rayan was back with us. We each got 2 words to find the definition of, which was super easy. When it came to the time when everyone had finished looking for the definitions of the words, we had started the Vocab game. Somehow, both of my words came first. Which was surprising as I didn’t expect for that to come first. As normal, everyone had gotten their words. Until it came to Rayan, who had a hard time in Aep. I’m not sure what word he was given, but he was the only one who didn’t get the word's meaning correct. Which led us to getting 19/20 in the game. It’s alright, because I know he will improve overtime.


October 09 - Seatwork

 This seatwork was slightly hard but not easy. I had to write and answer the type of dress given in the picture. But there was more. We had to match words with their meanings, except these words I wasn’t really familiar with. I found this seatwork pretty fun to say the least because I was able to learn the different names of dresses. I didn’t know there were names for dresses (literally I didn’t know these dresses existed). Welp, that concludes it. I found this day extremely interesting and entertaining. I hope we have more Aep meetings just like this one because Oh boy! Was it super fun!


October 10 - Quordle

Playing Quordle after a long period of time, felt sort of strange. As warmups, we would always play Squardle which I’m used to. But playing a game which we did back in Grade 7 was really refreshing. There’s so many games out there such as Wordle,Waffle and many more. I tend to forget which one is which. We were able to successfully finish the game in 5:56 minutes (yes I remember that). Playing Quordle brought back so many memories, sometimes we really struggled in Quordle (back in grade 7) or easily accomplished it under 6 minutes.


October 10 - Continuation of the Seatwork ;0

This seatwork which we did was a bit hard. But we were able to do it. My group members were Kuk, Mysha and my dearest, wonderful Summer. I feel like Summer and Mysha pretty much carried the group, but I tried my best to contribute. As I was reading the text, they had already started to answer, which left me behind. Eventually, I catched up and figured out the answers with them. I’m not sure if we were correct, but at least we answered it. 


I had always found English difficult and stressful. I never thought I could do these things including hard seatworks and Squardle. But doing these things all together makes the learning experience much more enjoyable and amusing.

“When working together, difficult tasks become achievable.”


Thank you.

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

AEP- Blog 3.3

 Hello hello hello there! We meet again, for one. last. blog.  Woah, it has been a ride hasn't it. A year sure does go by fast. It seriously felt not that long ago that I had written my first blog of the year. Definitely did not feel like 9 whole months. Reading said blog made realize now that I had nothing to worry about after all. That I have been proven wrong about not having fun in AEP. Sure, the work has gotten a lot tougher and was doubled to what we had last year. But hey, we're in G8 now and that's to be expected, AEP or not. And we still managed to play word games, some old, some new, and challenged ourselves in the best way possible. The seatworks we had DEFINITELY challenged me this year. But I wouldn't say all of them were so bad, only some. I really enjoyed the vocab quizzes. It really did help expand my vocabulary, and now whenever I read a book and encounter a word from one of the quizzes, I get all excited cause I know what it means now. I feel a bit sad...
