THE PEDOMETER CHALLENGE: LINKING ACTIVITY WITH THE CLASSROOM ISSUE/SCENARIOACTIONS TAKEN IMPACT AND EVIDENCE NEXT STEPS We want children more active! If we highlight and record steps by introducing the wearing of pedometers to children and link it to a classroom topics can we encourage children to have a greater awareness of their day to day activity? Year 5 children were provided with pedometers Baseline steps were recorded followed by a 5 week programme of cross curriculum intervention. Whole class results were used each week to track the distance covered on a map. All children in the class increased their levels of activity over the 5 weeks As the scores and results were collectively used no one felt left out. Children became aware of their own levels of activity Should classroom lessons be more active? Does the information of steps counted as an individual or as a group help to increase activity? Is it a way of highlighting the importance of activity to all Year 5 and Year 6 children?
