Pedometers

Good afternoon,

Just before I get into another meeting, I have just sent all of you this by e-mail. I was supposed to hand out notices this afternoon, but I forgot!

25 May

My Greatest Feat

The programme kicked off yesterday with great excitement at OLA. All children have a pedometer and are trying hard to get as many steps as possible.

Each child has a user name and password that will help them (perhaps with your support) log onto the website and enter the number of steps each day. There is no set time that this has to be done, just whatever fits in with the family. Once you have entered the steps reset the pedometer back to zero.

If you have no computer access at home please let us know and your child will be given a buddy at school who will help them enter their steps using the computers as school. If a pedometer gets broken or lost please let your child’s classroom teacher know as there are quite a few spare at school for this purpose.

This is a chance for your child to learn about and demonstrate responsibility. Encourage them to remember to bring the pedometer to school each day. If they should forget it will just mean that they have less steps recorded for that day. Encourage our children to be active and to keep up with the news of the All Whites as they travel to South Africa.

Thanks for your support with this,


More later,

Mr Grant
