The Mummy's Curse - Session 8 - Word Workshop

The Mummy's Curse - Session 8 of the Word Workshop is an engaging educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. In this workshop, students are encouraged to explore the meanings, uses, and variations of different words. They begin by defining the word 'dishevelled', which refers to a person's appearance being untidy or disordered. Students are then tasked with using 'dishevelled' in a sentence, modifying it by adding prefixes or suffixes, and identifying synonyms and antonyms to expand their understanding of the word.

Similarly, words such as 'exhausted', 'ordeal', 'pavilion', and 'suspended' are examined for their meanings and usage. Students learn to modify these words, transforming them into different forms to suit various contexts. The workshop also delves into words like 'reflection', 'elegantly', and 'concerned', prompting students to think critically about their meanings and how they relate to opposites and synonyms. Through this interactive process, students not only learn new vocabulary but also develop their ability to communicate more effectively and creatively.
