Thirty-one students from Grade 5 were<br />
selected on the basis of their performance in<br />
nd<br />
the 2 Term Examination. They were each<br />
given a pedometer to track their daily step<br />
count and to measure their activity levels<br />
against the goals they are encouraged to<br />
achieve. Their daily steps in the 'real' world<br />
take them on an amazing web-based<br />
adventure in a 'virtual' one.<br />
