The Hodgeheg - Session 3 - Word Workshop

The Hodgeheg - Session 3 Word Workshop is a comprehensive activity designed to enhance vocabulary and language skills among KS2 students. Through this workshop, pupils are encouraged to explore various words by understanding their meanings, using them in sentences, and manipulating them by adding prefixes, suffixes, or changing their forms. Additionally, students are tasked with identifying synonyms and antonyms, thereby broadening their grasp of the English language. This multifaceted approach not only deepens their knowledge of individual words but also helps in developing a nuanced appreciation for word usage and its context within the language.

Words such as 'bargained', 'confronted', and 'horror' are dissected to uncover their class, synonyms, and antonyms, while others like 'frantically', 'experience', and 'usual' are examined for their grammatical modifications. This session also delves into words like 'scuttled', 'conclusion', and 'curiously', prompting students to think critically about language structure. Furthermore, words like 'inquisitive', 'tremendous', 'bonanza', and 'scoffed' are included to challenge students and expand their vocabulary. The workshop ensures that learners are engaged in an interactive and educational exploration of words, enhancing their literacy and cognitive skills in a structured and enjoyable manner.
