Late to the Party — Leo Blog 3.1

The last stretch of year 11, welcome to the ultimate term where we determine who survives the next maths exam, and who survives the next chemistry exam, or death by the guillotine! Isn't it so exciting?

Last term was like finding a needle in a haystack, but not for AEP! AEP last year was a blast, learning about ... (eugh) ... crime and medical terms! While I will be using words from the medical area, crime just isn't my go-to choice of lexis when it comes to being knowledgeable in words—I'm taking medical degrees in the future, so knowing crime would be of help if I end up joining an affray ... which I hope I don't.

Either way, it is good to know your fair share of 'gerrymandering' and 'terminal illnesses' and everything, as learning is key to developing a strong mind. We've learnt a lot over the two terms prior to today, which have truly shaped my mind in the world of business, politics, crime ... and the only one that will be of use to me, medicine!

Learning the words have been really fun, even if I do say that it's kind of strange how I'm doing politics and business. We do fun activities and easy-to-do lessons which really help with gulping down knowledge after half a week of chemistry and biology and maths ... Words are just really fun to learn, really.

The exam was pretty good. I got perfect, yippee! Though, I did stress about it a ton (until I saw that Ms. Disa posted it on the Google Classroom) but it turned out to be a good recall for me.

Here's to the new term!

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...
