The 13-Storey Treehouse - Session 1 - Word Workshop

The "Word Workshop" from "The 13-Storey Treehouse - session 1" is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. This workshop encourages pupils to delve into the meanings of words, their use in sentences, and their linguistic modifications, such as adding prefixes or suffixes, and changing the verb tense. Additionally, students are prompted to explore synonyms and antonyms, further enriching their understanding of the language. For example, with the word 'automatically', children would identify its meaning, use it in context, modify it grammatically, and list words with similar and opposite meanings.

Continuing with the words 'probably', 'wondering', 'actually', 'mocking', and 'triumph', the workshop tasks students with the same set of challenges. They must articulate the definitions, construct sentences, alter the words grammatically, and identify corresponding synonyms and antonyms. This structured approach not only bolsters their vocabulary but also enhances their grammatical knowledge and critical thinking skills, as they discern subtle nuances in word meanings and their applications in various contexts.
