Eden loves English

Eden really seems to have a passion for reading, writing and grammar/spelling. She has been doing synonyms and antonyms and when she struggled to find a synonym for one of the words in her workbook I showed her our Thesaurus. She was quite blown away that someone had made a book just listing many synonyms for so many words, that she just started reading one after the other. But that wasn't good enough either so she pulled out some paper and just started copying them. Needless to say I had to stop her after two pages so that she could finish her work.



Another narration piece, Eden chose to do it on "The Sun and the North Wind", the above piece has not been proofread yet.
Often Eden will ask me to read words out of our Essential Spelling list book so that she can test herself, she just loves to spell things right.

This is Niamh's narration of "The Sun and the North Wind". She has taken to writing really quickly and did not seem to have to get over the writing block that Eden struggled with when she was the same age. The only thing that gets to Niamh is that she remembers so much of the story so feels that she needs to write down so much, and then gets frustrated because she takes so long to finish.
