JoJo & Gran Gran

JoJo and Gran Gran go to a special exhibition at the art gallery to learn about Gran Gran’s journey to England. Gran Gran’s donating a special possession – the coat she wore as a child when she travelled from St Lucia to England. In the coat pocket, they find Gran Gran’s boarding ticket.  There’s lots to see at the exhibition – one photo in particular catches Gran Gran’s eye. Jared is also visiting the exhibition and points out that it’s a photo of his grandad aboard a ship to England. JoJo spots a little girl in the photo wearing the same coat as Gran Gran. Gran Gran realises the little girl is herself! Now she has her coat, her ticket and a photo of her and Great Gran Gran travelling too.

JoJo, Gran Gran, Mummy and Daddy are at the airport waiting to take a flight to see a special someone – Great-Gran Gran in Saint Lucia. They’re all ready to go when their flight gets delayed. To pass the time, Daddy teaches JoJo where Saint Lucia is on the world map. Gran Gran shows JoJo planes going to different destinations, and Mummy gets a gift for Great-Gran Gran. Eventually, the gate to their flight opens, and once aboard the plane, it’s up, up and away they go!

JoJo, Gran Gran, Mummy and Daddy all arrive in Saint Lucia to see Great-Gran Gran receive her medal of honour from the mayor. Everybody’s preparing for the ceremony when a storm strikes. To make sure Great Gran Gran’s celebration goes ahead, Gran Gran has a plan: they might not be able to have the ceremony at the original location, but they can surprise Great Gran Gran by having it in her garden and inviting the mayor and all their friends. The surprise is a success: Great-Gran Gran loves her party, and everyone enjoys having a chance to celebrate and dance!

JoJo has drawn a picture to show Great Gran Gran over a video call, but just as she’s about to show it, the internet goes down! Gran Gran suggests they post JoJo’s picture to Great Gran Gran in Saint Lucia. JoJo learns why a letter takes such a long time to travel halfway across the world.

JoJo and Gran Gran miss their bus home, so the pair settle down to wait for the next one. But getting the bus isn’t quite as simple as JoJo thinks it is. A wrong bus later and the pair are back where they started! It’s time to look at the schedule and see when their bus is due to arrive. 

JoJo is determined to slide down the big slide at the park. But even though it’s sunny when they leave the house, a rainy weather forecast threatens her plans. Luckily for her, Gran Gran has come prepared!
