Day Two: Vocabulary Workshop for Children

posted on September 28, 2014

Time flew by at the second day of my vocabulary workshop, so much so that I hardly even took any photographs! It was a day of frantic word-hunting in the dictionary, attempts to communicate an idea with a single word, and word-building. Here are a couple of pictures, taken before the frenzy began. … [Read more...]

Day One: Vocabulary Workshop for Children

posted on September 27, 2014

"Both my daughters keep saying Varsha didi - Varsha - Varsha ... I had to come and see what magic you do with them." Probably the loveliest comment I've had so far I can't decide what I like better - children I've met before coming back to me for more, or new children with new ideas and experiences. With word puzzles, team games, charades and drawing, we had a wonderful morning with words!

Read Something New! – Day Four

posted on September 14, 2014

Children's imaginations are simply wonderful. Today, I met - a porcupine who dreamed of being a pillow - a hen that had three wings and could not fly - a snail that ran marathons - a dinosaur with twenty legs - a mouse that went to school and many more. Two by two, these animals had conversations. Another wonderful reading workshop at the British Library is over. I can't wait for the next. … [Read more...]
