The Falcon's Malteser - Session 5 - Word Workshop

The "Word Workshop" from "The Falcon's Malteser - session 5" presents an engaging and educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills for KS2 students. Each section of the workshop focuses on a different word, guiding students through a process of understanding and manipulating the word in various ways. For each word, students are asked to explore its meaning(s), use it in a sentence, modify it by adding prefixes or suffixes, and identify both synonyms and antonyms. The workshop encourages a deeper comprehension of language by examining the word class, which includes identifying whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb, and discussing its opposite meaning.

The words selected for this workshop—decent, convincing, expectantly, incredible, modestly, heroic, breathlessly, miracle, guarantee, location, invisible, and triumphantly—cover a broad range of descriptive terms, actions, and states of being. By engaging with these words, students refine their understanding of nuances in language and develop their ability to express themselves more precisely. The workshop's structured approach makes it an effective tool for expanding vocabulary and enhancing grammatical knowledge, fostering a love for words and their usage among young learners.
