The aim of David’s Olympic Games website is to help children understand the importance of taking regular exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. The site will also show them that if they want to be really good at any sport they have to work hard, be very dedicated, eat the right foods and have some clear goals about what they want to achieve.

David is a fantastic role model. He has already won a bronze medal in the 1500 metres freestyle at the Olympic Games in Athens. Now his sights are firmly set on the Olympic Games in 2008. Children can follow his progress each month as he prepares for the various events and competitions in his build up for 2008. Everyone at “My School Lunch” wishes him great success and will be cheering him on all the way.

We hope that parents will become involved and might cook the dishes that David’s Mum has provided. Teachers can visit and see what David is doing and consider if they can link it into any lesson plans. We hope that more teaching resources will be available in the Autumn Term of 2005 but this does depend on us obtaining further sponsorship.

This site has the full support of the British Olympic Association (BOA). The BOA raise the money for our team to compete in the Olympic Games as there is no Government funding. We also have support from the British Olympic Foundation (BOF), who promote and educate people about the ideals of the Olympic Games. You can find out more about these two organisations by clicking on the links below.
