Aleena Imran - Blog #2 Term 2 - Grade 8A

 


Howdy, readers! I’m back with another blog, not sure how long it’s gonna be. But you know, it’ll always be a good one! Let’s not keep you waiting, here we go! 

Yet Another week, another blog. Not that surprising anymore as we write blogs once a week. I can say this week was quite ordinary. Wake up, go to school, go back home and study. Quite the usual routine, isn’t it?  As we head further in the term, the closer we get to our exams. Which basically means, more assignments, homework and tests! Eugh, quite the stress isn’t it? Welp, can’t do anything about it. Join me as I  reflect on my past week.

 Without further ado, let the chaos begin! 


Nov 20, 2023 - Tackling the Class

As usual, we began with our warmup, Squardle. Since the other grades did it before us, there were only around ten words left. Adelia and Hyeono were guessing most of them, so we completed the warmup pretty quickly. I think I wasn’t even able to guess a word because of how fast they were! That’s quite some speed.


Before starting the vocab, Miss decided to let us play a few games of Quordle. Somehow, we failed the first game of Quordle. I was quite surprised as we usually ace it in three minutes. Then we continued with more games of Quordle, which was somewhat successful.


Shortly after playing Quordle, we started with our usual vocab practice. Since I already studied the unit before, I was assigned to handle the class. I was quite shocked to say the least because in what situation does that happen?! I then gave everyone two words to look up the meaning for. After assigning everyone words, we started with the Vocab practice. It was a bit stressful since I was in the front of the class but it was actually quite amusing.


Lastly, we played a game of contexto. It was quite average. Though I don’t remember the answer, I can recall that we got it in 56 guesses. Which is pretty good compared to our other games of Contexto. One time, it took us 101 guesses to guess the word. You thought it was a hard word? Nope, it was simple. Welp, all I can say is that I found this Aep meeting extremely interesting and entertaining.


Nov 21, 2023 - A Vocab Quiz

Per usual, we started off with a warmup. This time, it was Quordle. I can say it was pretty easy and fast. This game was also quite entertaining as we got to work together to get the answers.


Shortly after the warmup, we kicked off with the vocab quiz. I wasn’t really afraid since I had already studied two weeks before ( 🤭 ). As per usual, we went around the table spinning the wheel. When it was my turn, I got the words belittle and menial, and luckily I was able to answer it. I felt quite relieved there. Since Rayan didn’t get the first two words correct, Miss gave him another chance. I find that super kind to do.


In the end, we answered one question of our seatwork. It was about putting the questions in order to the text. I remember the answer being 3142. I never really have encountered a question like this so I had a bit of difficulty in this.

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
