Armistice Runner - Session 2 -Word Workshop

The 'Armistice Runner - session 2 WORD WORKSHOP' is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 pupils. In this workshop, students are encouraged to explore various words by defining their meanings, using them in sentences, and playing with their forms by adding prefixes, suffixes, or by modifying their tense or number. Additionally, they are tasked with identifying synonyms and antonyms to broaden their understanding of each word's usage and its opposite meaning.

For example, students might work with the word 'weary', determining that it is an adjective describing a feeling of tiredness. They could use it in a sentence like, "After the long hike, the explorers were too weary to celebrate their accomplishment." By modifying the word, they might create 'weariness' to express the noun form, and list synonyms such as 'exhausted' or 'fatigued', with 'energetic' or 'refreshed' as possible antonyms. This methodical approach to word study not only improves vocabulary but also enhances grammatical knowledge and language comprehension.
