WhyVille

Welcome to the WhyVille Page

We use **WhyVille**, which we are using Whyville in 6th and 7th grade, ICT, Life Skills and Science to teach different topics.

One focuses so far are healthy eating, utilising the WhyEat Challenge, the dietitcian, cafeteria etc, in which the kids plan a healthy diet and monitor the health of their avatar, as well as its fitness.

We also use the corral reefs for classifications of species. The kids record their findings in their reef journals, after visiting the reef and counting different animals.

When getting kids used to the virtual world, we take them to akbars mall and Pick your nose, so that they can create their avatars' appearance. We also meet up as a class in a specific location, and then branch off in groups to take part in different activities and earn clams.

As is the case with all virtual worlds, good bandwidth is essential!

Some interesting places to Visit: There are many more. Please use the WhyVille map or bus to visit all the exciting locations and try out the activities.
