The Falcon's Malteser - Book Review

In the educational resource 'The Falcon's Malteser - session 5', provided by KS2Gems, students are engaged in a Word Workshop aimed at enhancing their vocabulary and understanding of various words. The workshop is structured to allow students to explore the meanings of words, use them in sentences, and experiment with their forms by adding prefixes, suffixes, or changing their number and tense. Additionally, learners are encouraged to delve into the semantics of language by identifying synonyms and antonyms, further enriching their linguistic skills.

The words chosen for the workshop cover a broad range of adjectives and adverbs such as 'decent', 'convincing', 'expectantly', 'incredible', 'modestly', 'heroic', 'breathlessly', and 'triumphantly', as well as nouns like 'miracle', 'guarantee', 'location', and 'invisible'. This selection not only helps students to expand their vocabulary but also to understand the nuances of word classes and their opposites. By engaging with these words, students are equipped to express themselves more precisely and to appreciate the diverse ways in which language can be manipulated to convey different meanings and emotions.
