It's weird how it's 2025 already, I feel like last year went too fast. Anyways, in almost all the days I'm writing about, we played Scrabble.

December 5, 2024
We started with seatwork about prepositions. I was doing fine at the start, but I struggled a bit in the end, even though it was multiple choice. Somehow, I feel like my knowledge about prepositions is both good and bad at the same time. In the next period, we played Scrabble with a snack prize. Scarlet, who was my teammate, really wanted it. Unfortunately, my mind told me we definitely weren't winning anytime soon. I didn't want to let Scarlet down, but it seemed like she knew we were losing too. In the end, we made a slight comeback, but only climbed to 2nd place, with Busra & Sayo winning. We shared the prize anyway  :). (Also, Ms Disa posted a picture of us playing Scrabble on google classroom)

Jia saw the picture that Ms posted, and was sad about missing the last AEP Scrabble day, and Ms Disa let us play it. This was our first time playing "Speedy Scrabble", and our last AEP of 2024. I enjoyed it a lot more than the usual Scrabble we played. After a while, it gets tedious to wait 10 minutes for another team to choose a word. This time, each team had 3 minutes for their turn, having to shuffle all their letters once their turn is over. Me, Busra & Iskandar vs Sayo, Busra, & Jia, with Muhsin as the scorekeeper. Thankfully, my team kept getting good letters like X, Z, and J. This (and our skills) gave us the win for this day.

This was the first AEP of 2025. We played many word games, and The last one was Contexto, which felt impossible to beat. Eventually, we gave up, and the word was wombat. That not suiting our "clues" left me a bit annoyed. Barely anyone knew what a wombat was anyway. In the second period, we played Speedy Scrabble and it was pretty fun. I felt pretty good while playing, and somehow felt like I was thinking better. This led to the victory being given to Scarlet & I :D. (Sidenote, Ms Disa posted another picture of us playing Scrabble, similar to the first day. Jia reacted again, commenting "NOOOOOOOOO". Oh well :,).

We started with listening activities, then played some word games. In the next period, we read DOGONews about a banana taped to a wall being sold for $6.2 million. Ms Disa made us stand up and spin around anytime she or the current reader said the word 'banana.' First of all, a banana being sold for $6.2 million is outrageous. I am both skeptical on the legitimacy of the story, and the buyer's common sense. Second of all, I didn't know whether I found the "standing up-spin around" amusing & fun or annoying. Maybe a bit of both. At some point, Ms even started to not notice when she said "banana".

Additional thing, the teacher for the Filipinos was absent that day. This made me wonder what AEP would be like if we had a substitute teacher..

    There won't be AEP if I was absent. I would let you play scrabble and everyone wod put strange words because I wouldn't be there to check.

Blog 3.3 Almira

 I haven’t written a blog for quite a long time, and I also haven’t attended aep class for 3 weeks because I went to vacation in Boracay and there was the Musicals and the most recent one was the Holy week, to be honest I dont really remember what we did for aep for the past few weeks I was in class and as long as I can remember we did scrabble and did our seatwork. I dont know what to write about since I dont have anything to talk about the class since I was absent for quite a long time, anyways for the past few weeks I was  absent from aep class I did some cool activities and visited two different islands.  Roughly two weeks ago, I went to Boracay for vacation since it was Eid so we decided to go there for a week I had so much fun there and I really enjoyed it because I went snorkelling and did some other water sports activities. Now the second time I was absent for aep was because of the musicals, it was techinacally a holiday but I think I kinda enjoyed it unfortunate...

Helloooo!!! How is everyone?? Yup, I am late again, like always — and this time, I really am not sure what to write, as I am constantly getting demolished every day with Cambridge. If you were wondering where I was all this time… well, I was just doing past papers!! OKAY — so this blog was due weeks ago, and the reason I missed it (it’s not procrastination this time!!) is that I was absent during the last two weeks of classes that semester. For one of them, we had our stats mock for Cambridge, which I wonderfully failed, and for the next absence… I don't even remember what happened to me. Maybe I was just dead doing all the past papers. Sorry, Miss Disa — I began procrastinating midway!! Well, I’m going to finish this now. This semester, we started doing lessons on environmental words. It was a pretty easy chapter and fun lessons! Too bad I missed most of them. Anyway, on the first day, Miss Disa gave us some random cut-out words that go together. Me, Meral, and Sashmeen were in ...

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...
