Anis' AEP Diaries 2.4 - A Glimpse of The Story About Scrabble

  Season 2: Episode 4 🎀 

Thursday, February 2nd 2023 

Unfortunately, with a heavy heart, I announce that I still am backtracked from school work (that includes AEP). 

For most, blogging seems to be a routine that could potentially be seen as a matter that is far more than tedious. But, I for one have a biased liking to it. Many do ask me why I love writing – though of course, many other people are excellent at it. As for me, I prefer the wind to sweep me away and lead me to any path it desires. 

Back in the old days when the motivation to write started to bubble up in me, I would have always grabbed a random journal, or even opened up a fresh Google document to spill my thoughts into. Now that blog in AEP exists, it has truly become the place where I consider it my diary. Sometimes the things I wrote won’t even relate to AEP (apologies Ms. Disa, I am an over-sharer). 

Scrabble. Yes, scrabble. This is a thought I have been questioning a lot this school year – why have I only played scrabble once, or not even once. Despite the fact that my memory box is 2cm by 2cm, I could not remember the days that I visited a scrabble board. Maybe I have been absent a little bit too much during “game week”! 

It is common to hear that human beings crave to fill this sense of longing towards a place, or towards a person. However, in this case, it is scrabble. There is not one one, but many active side-eyes that shoot my way whenever I say that I miss playing scrabble. For me, it is not just a game, but also an encapsulation of my childhood and my relationship with my mother. Growing up, it was her who introduced me to the game which eventually led me to playing competitions which I so proudly always brags about. 

Our board play was interesting this time, we not only tried to score as much as we could, but too attempted to use new, unheard words. Allows me to introduce everyone to the words – haes, lored and boa. Do not repeat this action, but you could say that we were pretty much tempted to make our own new words so we could place them in the high-scoring position like double and triple word! 

In the last game, Nurin and Izzah had won the first place as they were smart to have hit a jackpot, scoring a whopping 56 points in one move. They had used the extension of the letter “S” to form the word rebukes and added their own word which was ways. May I mind you that the letter S landed on a double word, nasty move! Anyways, kudos to them :D

Come and see me again in my next blog and we shall soon witness what I have to bring to the table.

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...

Aleena Imran - Blog #4 - Grade 8 :)

  This week was quite enlightening. Our first lesson was very interesting. We got to learn about different school uniforms and what people wear to school. We started learning by listing as much clothing people wear to school as possible as a group work. My team was Dharanika and Summer who listed loads of words, sadly some of them didn’t count.  Following that, we discussed the parts of a uniform. I found this class super engaging as I got to expand my vocabulary in terms of clothing.  To pass a few more minutes, we wrote down what we were wearing. This session was a bit tiring and fun at the same time. The second day was more relaxing and refreshing. As we basically were assigned 1-2 words from Unit 4 and searched in the dictionary for their meanings. Which was pretty amusing and calm. After that, we did a crossword. Sadly, I wasn’t able to get my words in time as someone else had found it first. From there on, we all were tested about the definitions of our words. I enj...
