Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 3 - Word Workshop

The 'Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 3 - Word Workshop' is an engaging educational activity designed to enhance the vocabulary of KS2 students. In this session, participants are provided with a selection of words which they are encouraged to explore in depth. For each word, students are tasked with understanding and defining its meaning(s), using it within a sentence, modifying it by adding prefixes or suffixes, changing its number or tense, and identifying both synonyms and antonyms. This comprehensive approach not only broadens their vocabulary but also deepens their grasp of the English language.

The words chosen for the workshop range from 'enthusiastic' to 'feeble', each presenting a unique set of linguistic challenges and learning opportunities. Students learn to classify words into their respective word classes, such as adjectives or verbs, and to appreciate the nuances of language by examining opposites and similar-meaning words. By the end of the session, participants will have not only expanded their vocabulary but also honed their skills in word usage and grammar, contributing to their overall literacy development.
