Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 8 - Word Workshop

The 'Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 8 Word Workshop' is an educational exercise designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. This session provides a structured approach to learning new words, their meanings, and usage in various contexts. Students are encouraged to explore each word by defining it, using it in a sentence, and playing with its form by adding prefixes, suffixes, or changing its tense. Additionally, they are tasked with identifying synonyms and antonyms to broaden their understanding of the words and their opposites.

Words such as 'disappear', 'absolute', 'liberty', 'ominous', 'detected', 'hunch', 'patience', 'innocent', 'tension', 'frustrated', 'initial', 'contentedly', 'descending', 'camouflage', 'apparent', 'intrusion', 'irritably', 'impressive', 'tantalisingly', and 'complicated' are dissected to uncover their various facets. This word workshop not only aids in vocabulary expansion but also develops critical thinking as students modify words and explore their relationships with other words. It's an engaging method for young learners to deepen their grasp of the English language and its intricacies.
