Jemma’s Journey: An Interactive Concert for Under-5s (Early Years Foundation Stage)
Take a trip to the zoo with Jemma and her family, and join our musicians and presenter Vanessa for a music-filled day out.
Jemma’s Journey is an online re-imagining of the early-years album and story, written and composed by Vanessa King (early years specialist) and Nigel Gomm (former LSO Trumpet), and inspired by Vanessa’s own children Jemma and Abigail.
Watch the video on YouTube, sing along to the songs, meet Vanessa, and download our activity pack for a range of fun musical activities for under-5s, ideal for parents, carers and nurseries.
