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!

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...
