The Falcon's Malteser - Session 3 - Word Workshop

The "Word Workshop" from "The Falcon's Malteser" session 3 is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. The workshop involves a series of words that students are encouraged to explore in depth. For each word, students are tasked with understanding its meaning(s), using it in a sentence, and modifying it by adding prefixes, suffixes, changing its form or tense. Additionally, they are asked to identify synonyms—words with similar meanings—and antonyms—words with opposite meanings. This exercise not only broadens the students' vocabulary but also deepens their comprehension of language nuances and word usage.

Words such as "ordinary," "deduction," "terrific," "disdainfully," "doubtless," "sanity," "nervous," "hesitated," "nestling," "clammy," "embrace," "interior," "grimy," and "approached" are all part of the session's focus. By engaging with these words, students learn to recognize different word classes, such as adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and nouns. This multifaceted approach to vocabulary building is not only educational but also interactive, encouraging students to actively think about and engage with the words they are learning, thereby improving their literacy skills in a comprehensive manner.
