The experience
Today we are reading a lovely story, read by Katy. We are reading ‘Gorilla’ – Hannah’s father never seems to have time for her and so she is often left alone and lonely. She loves gorillas and longs for one for her birthday. On the night before her birthday, she wakes up to find a parcel containing a toy gorilla by her bed. Disappointed, she goes back to sleep. Later that night though, something magical happens – a real gorilla appears and takes her on a magical journey.
