Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 1 - Word Workshop

The "Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 1 - Word Workshop" is an educational resource designed to enhance the vocabulary of Key Stage 2 students. This workshop provides a structured approach to exploring words, their meanings, and usage in sentences. Each word is examined for its class, synonyms, and antonyms, and students are encouraged to modify the word by adding prefixes, suffixes, changing the tense, or converting between singular and plural forms. For instance, the word 'measly' would be scrutinised for its definition, used in context within a sentence, and potentially transformed into a different grammatical form, while also identifying words with similar and opposite meanings.

Further examples of words explored in the workshop include 'attacking', 'relished', 'gory', and 'flaw', among others. Each word is dissected to deepen the students' understanding and ability to use language effectively. Students might be asked to change 'preferred' into its past tense or consider the antonym of 'horrid'. The workshop aims to build a comprehensive skill set that allows students to confidently manipulate language, enhancing both their written and spoken communication abilities. By engaging with a diverse range of words such as 'mysterious', 'dangled', and 'eagerly', learners are equipped to express themselves with greater clarity and variety.
