A surprise addition! - AEP 10 - BLOG #5 - Term 2 - JANEK SMIGIELSKI

The lingering stress from the STEM congress has finally disappeared, and the pressure of looming assignments has been successfully suppressed. Writing this blog doesn't feel like a daunting task anymore, no longer buried under a mountain of assignments. This blog is a vibrant collection of the week's happenings, and let me tell you, this week has been anything but ordinary—breaking away from the monotonous cycle. Let's dive into the excitement!

A Surprise Addition – Another New Student!?!?

As I step into the classroom, familiar faces surround me, but one catches my eye— a new girl, a fresh addition to the AEP class. Each time months pass, I see the desks and chairs filling up with more excitement! Victoria, a Colombian girl, has graced us with her presence. She's friendly, and luckily, her English is pretty good, making interaction a breeze. On her first day, we engaged in an activity to get her acquainted with our routine. After a quick warm-up, we jumped into the activity. I believe she had a blast, and it's always fantastic to welcome new students. Here's to hoping for more to join our lively crew!

Essays: Not Exactly My Cup of Tea

Despite entering the lesson with high spirits, I was destined to slip up on something—usually either the warm-up or the essay itself. This time, fatigue got the best of me, and I wasn't feeling my usual self. I didn't invest much effort into the essay, opting to spill out as much information as I could. Unfortunately, the grade I received wasn't stellar. But hey, I'm not too worried because I'm confident I'll do better in the next one!

Scrabble to the Rescue!

During our double period, the looming vocabulary test announced a week before slipped my mind entirely until the last minute. Haziq confronted me, asking if I had reviewed, and with an honest yet nervous "no," I admitted my lapse. Panicking, I whipped out my phone and began cramming until the warm-up game concluded. However, to my relief, Miss made a surprise announcement that the quiz would be postponed to the following week, and instead we'll have a game of scrabble. I sighed with relief, reclining on a chair alongside my teammates Chloe and Haziq. The game was laid-back, and, thanks to Chloe's luck and skill, we emerged victorious! 

Overall, the week was subtly intriguing, not overly jam-packed but filled with charm. I'm hopeful that the coming weeks will bring even more excitement to the class. As always, until next time, my brothers and sisters!

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...
