"AEP10's second season!" -Blog 1 - TERM 2 - JANEK - AEP10

   

It's been a while since the final exams—an experience I'll never forget and hope not to repeat. However, this blog isn't about exams; it's about what happened right after. The final exams in AEP had been graded during our break, so the results weren't much of a surprise when we returned.

Entering the classroom, we were welcomed by a new face, a new friend, and a new challenger. Comparing this situation to Scrabble wouldn't do justice, but at this point, the boys had essentially given up. As expected, it was a new girl—Kirani, a 15-year-old from Indonesia. A familiar background, reminiscent of a friend who left us in grade 9. She seems friendly and a great addition to the AEP crew!

Of course, she needs time to settle in and get accustomed to our activities, particularly one that stands out as the most challenging in this class—essays. Notorious for its difficulty, it has posed a challenge for us, and it might be the same for her. However, we don't know for sure. Interestingly, I overheard her mention in physics class that she enjoys journaling—a surprising hobby for both me and even the teacher. I believe she might work wonders when given an essay; that's my expectation, at least.

Furthermore, we were assigned an essay on our second day back. Not the usual bar graph or chart, but a process diagram explaining how energy is produced from waves. It was a bit tricky, as I hadn't delved into this topic before, maybe just in a few science exams. I was surprised, though; it seemed slightly easier than dealing with graphs. That's my initial impression, but Miss might have a different opinion when she evaluates my essay.

Besides essays, we had another activity this week—Squaredle. As mentioned before, it's the new hurdle, and it's become quite prominent now. Kirani took on the role of the game master, struggling a bit at the beginning—a shared experience for all of us. We directed her most of the time, but occasionally she contributed words. It was a fantastic session where most of our time was devoted to completing what Diyar, the only student from Miss's grade 9 class, had started. He managed only 10 words, while we achieved around 40+. It was worth it, considering the bizarre nature of the remaining words within our time limit.

Overall, the week was great, with the highlight being the addition of a new student. I hope for more in the future, as more is always merrier. Apart from that, AEP is now in its second season, and I'm optimistic that this season will be filled with wonder and fun. Hopefully, Miss introduces new activities and challenges that bring us lots of entertainment. That concludes my blog! See you in the next one, my friends!

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...

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...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
