Mapping Out the Last Weeks — Leo's First Third-term Blog!

It's a little late writing this at nine o'clock in the evening, but that's because I've been so overwhelmed by the musical that I had completely forgot that school was a thing. I digress!

There may have been countless of new things that have flourished throughout the final weeks of the second term, and the first week of the third, that I've probably forgotten, so I'll be using Padlet to help re-experience the pains of preparing an entire musical production with the addition of classwork!

We aren't allowed a complete respite during any AEP classes, unless Ms. Disa is out on holiday, and it was proven when we made monkey-FIST knots before the finals! We were given a thin and long piece of rope that we were expected to make a weapon out of ... and you would normally expect that a rope could not be used to murder someone (unless you tie a noose around them), but what do ya know?! There's such thing as a yoyo weapon that could maim people! This long piece of rope had been put through much tension, looping and torsion following a Youtube video, and it would form a fist-looking ball that could be used as jewelry (or weaponry), but I failed to do it somehow.

Our finals itself were about two process essays that, one we have done before, and two we hadn't. So, it was a recall and a practical exam at the same time. The first one was the brick-production manufacturing one that was once atrociously written by us according to Ms. Disa, but I was surprised to get a good 90% on it once we had our exams back. On the other hand, the second one was about liquid chocolate production that I wrote twice since I had extra time. It wasn't that great for me, as I didn't know what to talk about in a lot of it; it was quite a short process. I got an 87%, which is not that bad.

Once the finals were all done with and everything was over, we got a chance to play a few games since there was a musical up ahead, with the catch that we'd do an essay the next day. That time, Ms. Disa was ill, so we obviously told her to rest up well and ... let us teach ourselves something new with Squardle! Besides Squardle, we also did a few other games like Connections and Tiles. They are all fun. I like them.

We were then introduced to maps the next morning. To put it simply, all maps have a before-and-after photo which illustrated the differences between them after a few years, either in the past or present. They could be about a plethora of locations, such as islands, cities, or towns. So, in order to write them, a lot of vocabulary is needed. Fortunately enough, we have a great teacher that can tell us all about them!

The new term will be packed with new information and the IGCSEs. I cannot wait for summer break already! Toodles!

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...
