The "Letters from the Lighthouse - Session 11 - Word Workshop" is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. In this session, participants are given a series of words along with a structured format to delve into each word's meaning, usage, and grammatical properties. Students are encouraged to use the words in sentences, modify them by adding prefixes or suffixes, and changing their forms or tenses. Additionally, they are tasked with identifying synonyms and antonyms to broaden their understanding of the words in different contexts.

The words explored in this workshop include 'approval', 'ashamed', 'embarrassed', 'arrest', 'frostily', 'terse', 'sensible', 'concerned', 'hazard', 'respect', 'convinced', 'involved', 'eerie', 'distract', 'miserably', 'tentatively', 'assumed', 'dismally', 'determination', 'reflection', 'expectantly', and 'confirmed'. Each word is examined for its part of speech, and students are given the opportunity to explore the nuances of language through this interactive session. This exercise not only aids in vocabulary expansion but also in understanding the subtle differences and relationships between words, an essential skill for effective communication and comprehension.
