ST MARY'S SCHOOL NEEDS YOU!

Virtual School Games is happening next Thursday (2nd April) from 10 am.

Every hour a new challenge will be set from daily mile to table tennis to virtual rowing.  All you need to do is take part in the challenge, take a photo (if your child can go on external websites) upload photo to:  schoolgames@livingsport.co.uk remembering to state that you are a pupil, parent, carer, teacher at St Mary's CofE Primary Academy-St Neots.  If you do not want to upload photos then write a brief description of what you did.
