Monday Lunchtime - Recorder practice - Free
Monday afterschool - Brownies - about £2.50 for 1hr15mins varied activities
Tuesday - afterschool swimming lessons - about £3.50 for 30mins
Weds - After school - Cheerleading - Free - 45mins
Thurs - nothing (tend to have friends over)
Friday - nothing (tend to go to library)
Saturday - Dance lessons £2.50 for 30minutes
They have just gone to a hockey taster session - so I suspect they will want to do that
They would like to play string instruments next year - they are doing it free this year and I would like them to continue as it leads into teh local orchestra - but that will be £2.50 per week + (potentially) instrument purchase/hire.
How (would) you rationalise? Is there too little focus?
I am happy to keep the free activities. I am loathe to drop the dancing as I have paid for outfits/shoes etc.
I may drop swimming at the end of this term as they are getting to the point that I think they can manage without further lessons - I would like them to be able to comfortably swim a length though and I am not sure they will quite be ready.
I would like them to do the string instruments - but I know that is going to be expensive in teh long term.
I want them to have something for the long term....but I can't afford everything....
