[NordicPrincess]

if so what do they do?

my son is 4 and wants to play the drums so i am waiting for the music teacher to call back and book a free one off session to see if he likes it. im also taking my 20month year old daughter to gymnastices once a week soon

DD (8) - concert choir (straight after school) then to Dancing paid for); football (at school)then tea then brownies; swimming

She also does violin and will be doing brass instrument in school - whihc will need practice at home - that is 5 mins a day!!

We used to do more, but it gets too expensive and I also think at the age 7 - 9 they start changing what they want to do.

Piano on a Thursday.
She used to have a weekly 1hr horseriding lesson up until last summer but it petered out (my fault mainly down to our weekend plans at the time). We'll try and get back into it. She is keen so it's a case of me getting it sorted again. This thread has reminded me to motivate my lazy carcass to sort it....
She does swimming once a week with the school on a Tuesday.

i love these threads, wtf is dragon sports?

the childshape does swimming and gymnastics

dd (11) does 1 hour after school theatre club, bass guitar, singing, girls' choir, orchestra, band practice, all at school.

Out of school, she does 2 hours of theatre group, cello, and 3 hours saturday orchestra.

yep, she loves music and drama.

DD has just persuaded me to up her activities.

Previously she did 3 hours of Stagecoach (drama, dance singing)and 45 mins of ballet

Plus gardening club after school

She has now added tap and modern 45 mins each to her schedule but I have made her drop gardening. She does some stuff at school at lunchtime too.

Dragon Sports

As I said above they have the opportunity to try out lots of different sports.

thanks domestic, sounds good. tried to look at the webpage but it made my eyes bleed.

My dd is 10. She does netball and drama.
Ds is 7. He does rugby, guitar and football

Sorry I'm still bemused at thought of a 20 month old doing extra curricular activities, let alone encouraging a preschooler to play drums!

dd (9) Brownies, Church choir, 4 dance lessons(at school), 2 music lessons, after school club (varies by term)

ds(12) sailing, and occasionally climbing, after school club, music lesson

DS1 aged 10

Hockey Rugby Choir Drama

DS2 Swimming rugby tennis drama

I would rather they didnt do so much but they asked to do these things and they enjoy them

ds1, yr 6, plays football 3x week / or cricket same depending on season
ds2 plays football 2 a week and fencing 1 x a week
no time for anything else

DS (11) does rugby, hockey, football and chess at after school clubs and hockey and squash out of school.
