As a teacher of Year 4 students I am very interested in Athlete
Profiles. The children are keen to think of athletes as people
rather than numbers. As part of our Olympic study we would love to
compile some personality records for our class. Is there a site for
such information or are there some athletes who would like to give
a brief profile of themselves eg Name, country, achievements so
far, events, training schedules, other interests, likes and
dislikes.
If a photo could also be scanned it would be wonderful. We are
looking for a variety of countries and sports to be covered. Maybe
an interesting fact about the country and the way the team has been
financed.
Looking forward to some responses.
Our class is in Room 10 at Birkenhead Primary School on the
North Shore, Auckland. We love our sports, art and music andalso
all our other subjects. We are hungry to learn and gain knowledge
in lots of different areas. We hope you can help us.
