Aleena Imran - BLOG 3.3 - Grade 8

 This is officially the last blog I’ll be writing for aep this year. It seems so sad that this school year has come to an end. So many things happened, but you don’t even realize it because it went so fast and now it’s just memories. The school year overall went by insanely fast, I barely remember what occurred during the first few months of the school year. And this is why I say to enjoy things while it’s happening, because it’s not gonna last forever, just cherish the moments while you can. And this is the last time I’ll be saying this.

Without further ado, let the blog begin!


May 6th, 2024 - Surprise, Vocab quiz!

We started off with our squardle as usual, it contained 62 words. But this time we played it a bit differently, we had a 15 minute limit to guess all the words in time in order to get 10 merits. Ms chose Rayan to hold the pen but it didn’t turn out that well. He did not understand any word anyone would say. So Mysha just stole the pen from him, I love that. It was super fun, everybody was yelling and honestly I was enjoying it for once. After Mysha, Aire took the pen. But sadly, we didn’t end up getting the words in the time limit but Miss was kind enough to let us continue doing it, we were super close anyway. We can say it was a bit chaotic.


After all of that, we started reviewing for the vocab quiz which some people didn’t know. We started off with the crossword, which I was a bit too excited for. We restarted it and then each person took a turn to cross out a word and then read the meaning out loud, so everyone could hear it. Next we did the sentences on the website, Sid actually answered most of the questions. He was pretty quick. We also did the definitions on the website too, it was also pretty speedy.


And what we have all been waiting for, the vocab quiz! As usual Ms had the wheel of names which contained the words. We all went around the room getting asked to spin the wheel. Each person took turns asking Ms to spin the wheel, some people got it and some people didn’t. Ms allowed the people who didn’t get it to get a second chance, someone like Rayan celebrated when he got it, “YES!”. I only got one word which was pivotal, which means essential.


Lastly, we continued the seatwork. The seatwork was about finding the main idea of the passage and to make a summary about it. It was old seatwork we hadn’t finished yet, that’s why I was confused when we received the paper. I did like three exercises which I think are pretty good. The topic was about ninjas which I think is pretty odd. And that was the last of what we did for today!


May 7th, 2024 - No warmup?

It was a bit different today as you can tell by the title, we had no warmup. I didn’t realize it until I started playing a game. The game was making words out of the 8-11 letters we chose, whoever got the highest number of letters in one word, won merits. But first to choose the letters, we all went around the classroom and either said “consonant please ” or “vowel please”. I found it quite difficult to do but I was surprised to hear that other people were able to find words with loads of letters. Somehow even Hyeono thought of an eight letter word, which was Homepage. We kept on playing repeatedly, to be exact ,seven times.


Lastly, we played a super quick game of Contexto. But the thing was, we only had five minutes left to figure out the word. We were guessing terribly at the start but got a little closer every time we guessed. The bell rang for next class which meant we weren’t able to finish the Contexto game. Better luck next time!

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...
