The Secret of Platform 13 - Session 1 - Word Workshop

The Secret of Platform 13 - session 1 WORD WORKSHOP is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. This workshop provides a structured approach to learning new words, their meanings, and usage in sentences. It encourages students to engage with words creatively by modifying them through prefixes, suffixes, changing verb tenses, or altering between singular and plural forms. Additionally, the workshop aids in expanding their lexical knowledge by identifying synonyms and antonyms, helping to build a more nuanced understanding of the English language.

Each session of the workshop focuses on a different set of words, prompting students to explore various word classes such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. By using the words in sentences, learners can contextualize their meanings and appreciate the nuances of their usage. The modification exercises stimulate critical thinking about word forms and their grammatical functions. Moreover, by comparing synonyms and antonyms, students can discover the dynamic range of expression within the language, enhancing both their written and spoken communication skills.
