2022 is the year to prioritise myself - Writing Wednesday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, 

I don't wish to give myself strict resolutions for this year as I'm just interested in seeing what happens. However, there is one thing I would like to do and that is focus on myself. On the weekend, I did a last minute history revision session after work with my Polish friend Teresa. She came over for lunch as well and tasted my dad's omelette for the first time which she absolutely loved. My mum's gone back home to Réunion to see my uncle and cousins, and also my grandad who is unfortunately not well. However, this has meant that Teresa was able to see what my dad's cooking was like and she was impressed. Overall the revision session was very helpful and it was a well spent study session. We were able to do some baking after the study session and we made a giant cookie cake, Teresa's recipe, which I posted a photo of on my Instagram story. However, the most profound part of the day was where we talked about our plans for 2022. Teresa said that in 2021, she wished she had gotten the opportunity to practice her French and I said I wished that I took some time out for myself in 2022. Teresa asked why I had wished that and I said it was because I got unnecessarily stressed that year with work and exams and I could have relaxed a bit more. I only realised yesterday as I am writing this that my mock exams finish on Thursday and I have the whole of next week free and off timetable whilst other students are busy completing their mock exams. Perhaps this is a sign from some higher power that its my time to do nothing. Teresa has even been telling me that I should spend my time next week doing something that I want to do. I think setting time out for yourself can be very profound because when you work hard for other people, it's something that you often forget to do. It's not a selfish thing to do either if you've been working hard and truly have earnt your free time. Next week, I hope to get roller skating as I have been waiting for my chance to do so. Hopefully, I will get a taste of what it will be like when I leave school officially and I will have time to do what I want to do, not what a school wants me to do. Hopefully next week will be a lot of fun.

Somme and Arras trip photos

By jujupage1 -

I went on a year 9 history trip to the Somme and Arras. I visited loads of WW1 memorials and as a group we discussed wether or not they were the right way to remember them by. I also visited trenches. Some were left as they were and some were made today as they would be 100 years ago. We discussed which one was the best way to preserve the history of the trenches.  I also visited a mine. I forgot to take photos but we visited a quarry and a mine 20 metres underground that was used for a secret attack against the Germans. This was during the battle of Arras. All of these places however were so overwhelming to see but places I would definitely recommend going to. How should we remember the soldiers that died in WW1?

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

By -

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
