Start of Another Term:DD

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to yet another blog! Can you believe it’s already the second term? It still feels like school just started just a few days ago. Anyway, I’m pretty happy right now because it’s the start of another term, and the workload isn’t much at the moment—but I don’t know how long I’ll be able to say that!

As for AEP, everything is going pretty smoothly. On the first day, we basically did nothing but play Scrabble. We started with our usual warm-up, after which Miss discussed the proper way to submit our homework. Then, we headed to the Scrabble table and split into four groups: me and Leo, Sashmeen and Meral, Osamah and Esad, and Sayum and Khalid. It was a tight battle! Sashmeen and Meral ended up winning, while Leo and I came in second place. Not bad, I guess, considering the letter choices we had. Overall, it was a really fun way to kick off the new term.

Miss Disa also posted a form on Google Classroom, asking us what we wanted to learn this semester. I chose Health and Medicine because it’s the topic I’m most interested in, and I felt like it would be the easiest out of all the options.

The next day, Miss Disa announced the votes. Health and Medicine won with the highest number of votes—just two. Thanks to Leo’s vote, it became the topic we’re going to learn about, and I was really happy.

Miss Disa gave us the worksheet, and it was so much easier than the lessons we had before. I mean, come on, we deserved it after dealing with all the weird, complicated words from the Politics and Business chapter! We finished the first two pages of the worksheet, and the exercises were pretty fun. For the first exercise, we had to guess a word that matched three given sentences. We worked on it individually first, and thanks to Sir Martin’s biology lessons, I got all the answers correct. The second exercise was all about abbreviations, where we had to write their full forms. I already knew ER, PM, and ENT surgeon, but now I know so many other healthcare-related abbreviations.

On the next page, there was a table where we had to match terms with their respective connotations. Below that, we had definitions, and we had to write the corresponding terms. This part was a bit trickier than the rest, so I left a few blanks. Miss Disa later discussed all the answers with us. Next week, we’ll have a baby quiz on it, so fingers crossed for that!

As I mentioned, classes are pretty easy on us right now. I really enjoyed learning all the medical terms in AEP, and I hope to get everything right on the quiz. Also, you’ll be hearing from me more often now, as Miss Disa switched us back to the blogging system. So, until the next blog—bye and take care!

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...
