Aleena Imran - Grade 9 - BLOG 1.1

This is officially the first blog I’ll write for the new school year. It’s about time to get prepared for another year full of amazing memories and blogs too! It’s my third year writing blogs for aep, it all started from grade 7. At this point, I’ve mastered writing blogs. I wrote so many blogs over the years yet so why wouldn’t I think that? Even though it’s only the third week, we already have a piled up list of homework to do. Luckily, I managed to finish all of them without worrying about the deadline. Whoops, I got sidetracked.

Without further ado, let the blog begin!


Aug 07, 2024 - An article about cheese rolling?

As soon as our class started, we began with Squardle. This time we had to continue it, meaning all the easier words were done. We struggled to get ten words in the span of ten minutes, meaning we failed to get our merits that we were trying to work for. I do remember saying one word, which was “Tiara”. I'm even surprised I thought of anything due to my lack of energy and thinking .I kept on reminding everyone about how much time was remaining, slowly building suspense. Everyone was devastated when we lost.


Shortly after that loss, we went on DogoNews to read an article. I don’t think I’ve seen an article about cheese, a sport about cheese rolling. And that’s exactly why Ms Disa picked it, it was about cheese. We read the article the same old way, going around the class, each reading two sentences from the articles. Some people got sidetracked, so they were unfamiliar with where their sentences were. I knew right after reading articles, we would all state a fact from the article. As soon as I got my pen to write a fact, Ms Disa stopped me as she knew I would usually do that. After we all finished reading, we all told our facts, starting from hyeono. This meant I was the last one, the only thing I could do was repeat that one fact I had remembered in my mind.


We then received a worksheet, which was about paraphrasing. There were about nine questions that we had to answer. But this time we didn’t write on the worksheet, we wrote on our notebooks. It felt refreshing in some way to write in a new notebook. In the worksheet, you would have to choose a few words that you think can be changed for alternative words, the word “show” can be told as indicated, displayed or illustrated. But sometimes the synonyms we think of, don't exactly mean the same thing, which is what we call nuance, that we had to keep in mind. The worksheet itself was simple but it was a bit time consuming, but me and Summer finished right on time. When I was done, I was able to put my worksheet in my folder into the box, i felt some kind of joy in that. I think paraphrasing itself is a useful skill to learn as you can easily think of alternatives of words you're thinking of.

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...
