Author Focus Week - Anthony Browne
At the start of the year the whole school focused on the wonderful stories written and illustrated by Anthony Browne. In Year 4 we looked at the book 'Gorilla'.
Using the story as inspiration and the emotions of the main character Hannah we painted emotion timelines of the story. We also drew self-portraits wearing the iconic hat, bow-tie and coat the Gorilla wears.
