Building Bridges

We have been doing the Building Bridges programme over the last few weeks in 5th class. Building Bridges is a programme that builds comprehension strategies and helps children to engage more with the text that they're reading. It uses strategies such as; predicting, connecting, visualising, inferring etc... to do this. The strategy that we have just finished is 'Connecting' and we have read two amazing picture books about Anne Frank and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We made lots of connections whilst reading these books as you can imagine and the class discussions were really interesting. We also did fantastic group posters on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr which are on display outside our classroom.
