Repeat — Leo's Blog 1.4

Blog 11.1.4. Politics, politics, and more politics! Last week, we had done a terrible job in a 3-star Squardle that had only 27 words. We achieved only 12 of those points, failing to get the rest in an attempt to wake up for the morning. With the upcoming camping, why wouldn't we feel pumped up and excited for the events of what's to come? Because of the double quiz during that week's Thursday, biology and chemistry! Killing all students with two stones!

It's wasn't easy for us to get going with the next few words that were present in the next part of the chapter. 20 new words purely about politics, and even if you did know some, how was it used in a political sense? For example, "gerrymandering" is not a word that everyone knows, but maybe those who study American politics do. It's a strange word, considering how the USA has electoral states and thus allows gerrymandering to actually happen, but I dislike getting too in-depth on how strange politics actually is.

The week after, we began the day with a quick game of Wordle, which was a very ironic one for that matter. Knowing the word would be a repeating letter, we had guessed any variation of _O__Y but wholly said that the word "MOMMY" is simply not a word in the English dictionary. Guess what happened after we typed the last word (DODGY) ... the word appeared right above the entire game, screaming at us "MOMMY!"

After that atrocious game, we went and continued the same unit and collected the answer as well as its reasons to be, then did the next part, which was about identifying parts or types of government regimes. It was interesting when I searched them up, since I myself don't get into politics so often. It just so happens that the entire rest of the world is extremely political and love talking a lot about it when I don't live there, or I'm not affiliated with the country at all. Alas, politics is madness!

After camping, I was definitely tired. Thankfully we don't have to go through essays again like in Grade 10. If we did, I'd probably be crying after school. We even have a math quiz tomorrow, so I'm grateful we're just doing words. Woohoo!

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
