2. VALUES “ You can’t put a limit on anything, the more you dream, the further you get” There is more to the Olympics than the games themselves. The 2012 Olympics and Paralympics advertise values to encourage children to have a healthy life style. One of these values are friendship. From friends in the park to friendship between countries. Supporting and encouraging each other to perform at their best can really boost someone's courage, which is another value of the 2012 Olympics.

3. EAT WELL “ You can’t put a limit on anything, the more you dream, the further you get” Eating healthily is very important towards your ‘Small Steps 4 Life’ project. Eating healthily can improve your body and mind. A good challenge for eating healthy could be just swapping your chocolate bar for a healthy snack or piece of fruit. For example if you swap a chocolate digestive for an apple you are cutting down on 22 calories! (information from food items database) Instead of a trip to a fast food restaurant, take your family on a nice healthy picnic.
