Aleena Imran - BLOG 3.2 - GRADE 8

 It has been quite awhile since we have written another blog, we had our one week break (holy week) and found it extremely relaxing since there was no school. Even though we have many quizzes and homework at the moment, it is important to remember that this will end. It will be over one day and you can forget about it. Indeed, the past is the past no matter what happens so i just say, get over it.

Got a bit sidetracked, still curious what you’re gonna read? 

Without further ado, let the blog begin!


April 01, 2024 - FISH, FISH, FISH! 

As part of our daily aep routine, we had to do our warmup, and that warmup was Hurdle. We all extremely dislike Hurdle, our exact reaction to knowing that we’re gonna play it was “NOOO”. I was the one holding the pen, mainly because I haven’t done it in a long time. I still enjoyed holding it, sort of.  Well it wasn’t that fun playing the game itself as we were confused, struggling and going crazy. It took us about seven tries, it also took lots of thinking about which letter would be where. The word was overt, which means done or shown openly.


For a while, Miss had explained to us about how there is no need to study for our exams as we have many other things to do and will be overbearing. One thing Miss had said was, “LET'S PARTY!”, no one was excited. We moved on to our seatwork, it was quite easy but also hard, in the middle. We got a few minutes to answer each question, well I got ⅗ each time, I could say isn’t that bad. Ms did prank us by saying one answer was true when it was clearly not. Another thing Miss had said was “somebody’s mother who didn’t love them”, I don’t remember the context to this but I find it quite funny. One last quote from Ms was “ Not that I know from experience”, it was about her punching a wall while Rian was doing it too. We all laughed for a few seconds.


And you have probably been wondering, what do you mean by “FISH,FISH,FISH”? It all started when we read DOGOnews, all taking turns reading two sentences. It was about fish doorbells in the Netherlands. There was this one specific website, called “Fish Doorbell”, in which you would see live footage in the water, when you would see fish coming, you would have to quickly press the doorbell. Apparently, the boys had seen it but Ms was in disbelief. It was quite interesting as our whole class was staring at the board for a few minutes straight just to see some fish.


April 02, 2024 - No phones allowed in class?

As soon as we entered the classroom, Ms had asked for our phones. She had this box in which contained our phones, I didn’t put any since I didn’t bring my device to the classroom. It was quite strange as we were not used to this kind of rule. Moving forward, as our warmup we did a deluxe waffle, one of our favourites! Aire had raised her hand to hold the pen. I have to tell you, summer was definitely carrying, she sounded like she knew what she was doing. It was almost a close call but we managed to get it in the perfect amount of times, phew!


From there on, we were continuing the seatwork we had done yesterday. It was still about true, false and not given. It was a bit hard to do but I tried my best. I got ¾ and then 7/7, quite surprised I got this, I'm seeing improvement in my linguistic skills. After some time, Miss had explained to us that we can learn from our mistakes, mistakes we made on our old/pass exams. We can remember those errors to avoid doing it again, quite inspirational. Before we left the class, Ms said “Take a phone”, we all laughed realizing she said take a random phone and not our own.


Quote of the Blog

“You may become dusty but you must blow off the dust off first”

Credits to Summer!

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...
