Day Two: Vocabulary Workshop for Children

Day One: Vocabulary Workshop for Children
"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!

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...]
