St Nicholas Wednesday Brownies are on safari this term. The girls so far have created African sunset pictures and made an African mask. They worked together to choreograph a dance inspired by listening to the music, Morning Over Serengeti. The pack is collecting Active Kids Vouchers and would be grateful for any donations.
