AEP- Term2Blog#4-Naboni(Forgot to post before☹️)

Hey there, everyone! It's so great to be connecting with you all through our first blog post of the year 2024. A little late but a very Happy New Year to you all! I hope you guys are doing well and keeping up with your New Year's resolutions. As for me, after a long break, coming back to school was quite a challenge. But after spending the whole week rotting in bed, getting back on track was possibly the best thing for my body.

Anyway, let me catch you up with the AEP class progression. Miss Disa was still enjoying her lovely vacation in her sweet homeland in the UK, so we were bound to stay in our homeroom with the Filipino students. As Sir Macky was absent as well, we got Sir Whey as our substitute teacher. He passed Miss Disa's instructions to complete two essays already posted in our Google Classroom. While the Filipino students were reciting their coursebook in groups, we, the AEP students, were focused on writing down the assigned essays. I tried to do essay number 1 first as my brain comprehended the image much faster. It was basically about the production of cement and how it is then utilized to make concrete. Whereas, the diagram of the second essay was about brick production, and I was still confused about what was happening in some of the steps. I only finished the first essay on the day, but I still felt like it needed some polishing, which I later did at home. 

The next day, our substitute teacher was none other than Miss Jonna. Having four periods a day with Miss Jonna was not something I was looking forward to. Well, I was kind of freaked out at first, thinking she would provide us with some works for English, but thankfully, Miss Disa had already assigned us a worksheet we needed to complete, which I would do any day over an English task. The worksheet consists of crosswords from Unit 9 vocab. We just had to solve the crosswords and find out the meaning of those words from an online dictionary. Miss Jonna looked through the paper once and asked us to circle the word we already knew the meaning of to determine our English level. As per her instruction, I ended up circling 5-6 words among those which proves my vocabulary knowledge is not that immense, which means I still have a lot to learn! I was done with the worksheet pretty quickly and after submitting it, in the remaining minutes, I finished editing my essay #1 from the last day, and I was happy to get it done and dusted!

Miss Disa finally returned the following week, however, her device for the board was taken to our classroom as our smartboard had malfunctioned. Unfortunately, we were not able to play our traditional warm-up games due to this. The class was short, and we simply revised the vocabulary of unit 9 to prepare for the quiz the next day. 

Finally, on the next day, we were able to play SQUARDLE as our warm-up game as Miss Disa had gotten her device back. After that, we took our vocabulary quiz, and everyone managed to obtain a perfect score! It was a great start to the year. 

After a short break, Miss Disa dictated a perfectly written IELTS essay on cement and concrete production, which we had to copy down. Once we wrote down the entire essay, we were given another 10 minutes break. Later on, we reviewed the structure of writing an essay, and in the following week, we will be writing the same essay again. 

That was the start of the AEP classes. I'll be back next week for another block and will keep you updated on what happens. Until then, take care and goodbye!

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...
