Step Challenge
On Tuesday, 4 people from Boston Scientific came in to talk to us about the Step challenge. Boston Scientific is a company that make medical devices for people all over the world. Around 3,000 people from the local community work there. They created the step challenge to help us be healthier. Keelin’s Mom, Marguerite nominated us for the step challenge. To mark the start of the challenge we all received a pedometer. A pedometer is a device that counts your steps. Every class chose an individual goal and at the end of every week all the classes’ steps will be added up to see how far across the world we can walk. 4th/5th class chose to walk around the world. To achieve this we have to walk 26,664,000 steps (20,200km-1,320 steps in a km) by April 28th. When we divide this by everyone in the class (including Mr O Connor) this means we will have to walk about 784,235 steps each.
