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!

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...
