The Snow Spider - Session 7 - Word Workshop

The Snow Spider - Session 7 - Word Workshop is an educational activity designed to enhance vocabulary and language skills among KS2 students. In this session, students are presented with a list of words to explore in depth. For each word, they are tasked with identifying its meaning(s) and using it in a sentence to demonstrate comprehension. Additionally, they are encouraged to modify the word by adding prefixes or suffixes, changing its number or tense, and identifying synonyms and antonyms to broaden their understanding of the word's usage and its opposite meanings.

Words such as 'regarded', 'ignored', 'exerted', and 'grotesque' are some examples from the workshop list. Students must determine the word class for each, which could include nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. This exercise not only helps in expanding the students' vocabulary but also aids in developing their analytical skills by examining the nuances of language. The workshop serves as an interactive way for students to engage with words and concepts, fostering a deeper appreciation for the richness of the English language.
