The Jungle Jam with Explore Learning
Children will embark on a song writing journey with the help of the amazing Explore Learning tutors!
An hour-long workshop for 5 to 11 year olds will take children on an adventure using their English skills to create sound banks, solve problems, write rhymes, and use their imagination to create a song.
This is a free session but must be booked in advance at the links below, and adults must remain with the child for the duration of the session.
