Blog 3.1 - Crafts and Speeches! [Izzah] Gr12

Crafts!

This lesson for AEP, we got to be more hands-on with our activities, instead of writing or reading anything we learned to be more practical, and that is, by learning how to tie knots into cute little keychains or a WEAPON. As well as making origami frogs have a tense competitive competition, the survival of the fittest frogs.

Tying a knot seems harder then most people think, you need to be very good with moving your fingers around a string, Hanis and Darren's fingers were literally blue doing the activity, and a lot of us struggled with keeping the baby in the string, it was hilarious to watch each other attempt at being patient. With a few anger issues popping out from a piece of string, it was surely a fun activity to complete despite the stress of our musical coming up. Hanis’s baby ball really turned out nicely, I wonder how she's so patient with it. In the end, it was just me smacking my defective ball on the table and on Nurin, very entertaining. 

Our next activity was frog origami, I was particularly excited about this one, I used to be obsessed with origami, especially miniature ones, cute delicate ones. Instead of making one, I made two, my frog no 1 Albert which was about the size of my palm, and frog no 2 jr, the size of the tip of my finger. We had a race, I raced against Ayse in the first round and I absolutely WRECKED HER, just kidding, I guess cause my frog was miniature which meant that I could leap higher cause of how light my frog was, the second person I ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED, was William. My frog is literally the one and only undisputed champion of all frogs despite how tiny it was, it would be fun to have a competition of all the winners from each grade

We also did speech reading, and I may say this has probably been the best app lesson we've done yet. Everyone had a great laugh to see each other possess ourselves into these iconic and influential people in the past. People who have shaped history changed lives eventually to what has become of the world to this day good or bad. I played the role of Elizabeth the 1st giving a speech to the English army as they set off to fight the Spanish. I wonder how hard it must have been for her to rule England as a woman. She really shows us how strength is not defined by our gender or sex but rather by how minds.

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...
