The Secret of Platform 13 - Session 9 - Word Workshop

The Secret of Platform 13 - session 9 WORD WORKSHOP is an engaging educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary skills among KS2 students. In this workshop, participants are invited to explore various words through a series of exercises that delve into word meanings, usage in sentences, and word modifications. Additionally, students are encouraged to identify synonyms and antonyms, further expanding their understanding of each word's context and its opposite.

For example, students might work with the word 'lurch', identifying its class as a verb, using it in a sentence such as "The ship lurched violently in the stormy sea," and then modifying it to 'lurched' to indicate past tense. They would also explore synonyms like 'stagger' and antonyms like 'stabilise'. This process is repeated with a diverse set of words including 'faithfully', 'nonsense', 'sensible', and many others, each providing a unique opportunity to deepen linguistic comprehension and versatility. The workshop is a creative way to make learning new vocabulary both effective and enjoyable for young learners.
