Armistice Runner - Session 6 - Word Workshop

The 'Word Workshop' is an interactive session aimed at enhancing vocabulary for KS2 students. In this workshop, participants are presented with a variety of words to explore. For each word, they are asked to identify its meaning(s) and use it in a sentence to demonstrate comprehension. Additionally, they are encouraged to modify the word by adding prefixes or suffixes, altering its form to singular or plural, or changing the verb tense where applicable. This exercise not only expands their vocabulary but also deepens their understanding of word forms and grammar.

Moreover, the workshop includes identifying synonyms and antonyms for each word, further enriching the students' linguistic repertoire. Synonyms help in understanding different words with similar meanings, while antonyms offer a grasp of contrasts in language. This multifaceted approach to word learning ensures that students not only memorise new vocabulary but also comprehend its practical usage, variations, and context within the English language. The 'Word Workshop' is an excellent tool for building a robust vocabulary foundation, which is crucial for effective communication and writing skills.
