The Mummy's Curse - Session 2 - Word Workshop

The "Word Workshop" is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary and language skills among KS2 students. In this particular session, titled "The Mummy's Curse - session 2", learners are provided with a list of words and are prompted to delve into various aspects of each term. The tasks include defining the word, using it in a sentence, modifying it by adding prefixes or suffixes, changing its number or tense, and identifying synonyms and antonyms. This comprehensive approach not only reinforces the meaning and usage of the words but also encourages a deeper understanding of their nuances and opposites.

Words such as 'intense', 'severely', 'authority', and 'incredible' are explored for their meanings and applications. For instance, students might learn that 'intense' can be modified to 'intensity' when a noun is required or 'intensified' as a past tense verb. They will also look for synonyms like 'strong' and antonyms like 'mild'. This methodical exploration is designed to build a robust vocabulary, an essential tool for effective communication and comprehension in both written and spoken English. The workshop promotes critical thinking as students discern subtle differences between words and understand the impact of language in various contexts.
