Armistice Runner - Session 11 - Word Workshop

The 'Word Workshop' is a structured activity from 'The Armistice Runner - Session 11', aimed at enhancing the vocabulary of Key Stage 2 students. In this workshop, pupils are encouraged to explore various words by defining their meanings, using them in sentences, and playing with their forms by adding prefixes, suffixes, or modifying their tense and number. They are also asked to identify synonyms and antonyms to deepen their understanding of each word's usage and context.

Words such as 'intact', 'vagrant', and 'nervy' are examined for their grammatical class, while students are prompted to creatively modify words like 'protect', 'volley', and 'interrupted'. The workshop provides a multifaceted approach to vocabulary building, allowing children to engage with words like 'lunged', 'emerged', and 'admitted' in a way that promotes critical thinking and linguistic skills. This educational tool not only helps in expanding the students' word bank but also in enhancing their comprehension and expressive abilities through practical exercises.
