How did I do my IAs? - Lifestyle Monday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, 

No challenge is ever over but at least yesterday I was able to enjoy the victory of another battle. On Monday and Tuesday, I will be writing my TOK essay and after that, the bulk of my IB coursework should be complete. All 7 of my essays for all 7 of my subjects will be written and a few will need re-drafting but things are gradually being ticked off of the list. As I wrote at the start of year 13, I was really worried about my IAs and I wasn't sure if I would be able to complete everything that I needed to. I was so worried in fact, I created mini backup plans for myself in case I fell behind schedule. However, now that I can see the end, I'm looking back and wishing that I had a bit more self-belief. Because I was organised, I did work hard, and I asked for no extensions, which is something to be proud of. There were times when I thought things would not work out. For a long time, my maths IA didn't seem to be coming together and I was getting a bit anxious because I couldn't find an essay concept that worked for me. But with a bit of perseverance, I was able to put something together and now the end of this section of the course is near! Next up will be my second set of mock examinations for the IB, which will be happening at the start of January, just as we return to school from the Christmas holidays! I know, that means I've got to start revising. I've tried to get some revision in after the October half term but my coursework was my main priority at the time. However, with that nearly out of the way, I would like to start revising properly so that I don't have a whole load of work to do during the Christmas holidays. I would definitely like to adopt a more confident attitude for the mocks this time round as I felt that for my mock exams in year 12, I let my nerves get the better of me a little bit for some of my papers. Looking back on my journey with my coursework so far, I wish I was a bit more confident because clearly I had the potential to achieve. Maybe I should try and implement a little bit more confidence for my exams and see where I takes me. This is something that my friends try to instill in me all the time and maybe I should listen and take their advice!

"They shall not grow old,as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them." To the 60 people that died during WW1 in my village. Many of them were either buried in the location that they fell or were missing and never found.  "Their name liveth for evermore."

In Flanders fields- John Mccrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses,row on row, That Mark our place; and in the sky The larks,still bravely singing,fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived,felt dawn,saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved,and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not slee

Finding something new to study

By jujupage1 -

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today, I am going to be doing something a little bit different. I've been on the hunt for something new to study. I looked up 'interesting things to study' and it came up with: How to pickle your own vegetables (?!) Learn a new language ( I am bilingual) Learn to code (been doing enough of that already) Find out more about microbiology (too complicated) I just wanted to find out more about a particular subject. So then I searched up 'interesting SUBJECTS to study'. It came up with this: Mathematics (I'm on holiday)  English (again, I'm on holiday) Complete study and practice of geography ( again,again, I'm on holiday) So I thought. I've been really enjoying history. Let's search up some fun history topics to study. It came up with this. Korean war (meh) Franco-Spanish war (mmh) The Crusades (maybe later) Holocaust (interesting, I've been studying that) So as y

Amy and Karim's amazing foxtrot and Emma and Anton's beautiful foxtrot - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I think, that whilst it was the week where somebody was going to be sent home, every dancer on Saturday had some sort of breakthrough. I felt as though people grew in confidence from week 1, even though they made some mistakes in their routines. One of these breakthroughs was Karim and Amy's amazing foxtrot. I was initially quite nervous about this routine, because Karim had impressed us all with his Latin skills in the cha-cha. However, I wasn't sure how he was going to do in a more elegant ballroom style but he surprised us all I'm sure. He had phenomenal posture and you could tell because he was supporting his partner, Amy, really well. His hand placement as well underneath her arm, stayed put throughout the whole routine, when they were in hold which I thought was excellent attention to detail. However, what I enjoyed the most was his jazz flair that he added to the piece. It made it seem like I was watching a H
