The Explorer - Session 17 - Word Workshop

The 'Word Workshop' is an engaging educational activity aimed at enhancing vocabulary skills among KS2 students. In this session, students are provided with a variety of words, such as 'gruffly', 'ancestor', 'exchanged', and 'appraising', and are tasked with exploring these words through multiple exercises. They are encouraged to define the words, use them in sentences, modify them by changing their form or tense, and identify both synonyms and antonyms. This comprehensive approach not only broadens their understanding of the words but also their application in different contexts.

Other words explored in the workshop include 'provisions', 'evidence', 'extraordinary', and 'sympathetic', each presenting an opportunity for students to delve into the nuances of the English language. For example, they might learn how 'defiantly' contrasts with 'compliantly', or how 'dignity' can be the antithesis of 'humiliation'. Through this interactive session, students engage with words like 'intensity', 'desert', 'moral', and 'averting', enhancing their linguistic repertoire and preparing them for more advanced language use. The workshop is a testament to the power of vocabulary in shaping expressive and effective communication.
