Series overview[]
Jay's Jungle is a pre-school series that follows the adventures of Jay the lighthouse keeper. Jay lives on a beautiful J-shaped island, inside a wisecracking lighthouse called C-Mor.
Everyday, the wise and funny, C-Mor shines his magical light across the world searching for thoughts and questions to be explored.
When C-Mor's light lands on an imaginative child the adventures begin. Jay and the team – consisting of Funk – E, Jay's mischievous monkey mate and Kate, Tash, Bec or Lani the fun loving park rangers who look after the island – set out to explore the daily theme, discover many new things whilst having a great time. Joining Jay and the team on their adventures is the Jungle Crew, a group of inquisitive preschool children who arrive on the island to help solve problems and create interesting things.
In each episode a new and unique thought or question, that every child can relate to, is explored, such as: ‘Why is the Sea Salty?’, ‘How do seeds grow?’, ‘Who turns off the Sun at Night?’, ‘I wish I could fly like a bird’, ‘I love bubbles they float up high’ and much more. These thoughts and questions call upon explanations that are simple to understand and that all children can be involved in.
Through song and dance, as well as hands on tactile activities, Jay's Jungle celebrates the importance of teamwork and creativity.
The adventurous spirit of Jay and the team sees them continually end up in wonderfully weird situations, which lead to interesting discoveries! If the team needs more help they can always call on the Monkey band beat-makers, the ‘Tree Top Trio’ featuring Funk-e (Mat McCoy), Jess-e (Lisa Moule) and Leonard (Derek Siow) to explore the theme and sing a song or two.
With some discoveries made and some problems solved it is time for Jay and the team to call in the Jungle Crew who are ready to play games, make cool stuff and explore the days theme in an imaginative and tangible way.
At the end of the episode Jay and the Jungle Crew have laughed, danced, played and learned heaps about today's theme.
