so what does your 5 year old do after school/

[NFTA]

Mine just wants to watch TV.

anothermadame - I will have to I think. Trouble is, the dc's don't play together becasue dd has coursework/homework to complete and I am doing dinner etc for some of the time he is in. I htink we have just got into a bad groove with is adn I will try to alter ot as soon as I can!

At the moment, because it's so cold, and she's so tired coming up to half term, a LOT of TV. Once the weather warms up and she's recharged her batteries a bit, it will be less.

he's nearly 5. he just wants to play with his (star wars) lego. He also asks to play star wars lego on the pc, or watch clone wars, so he's allowed to do this for a bit on the days he's home (not in out of school club/CM)
He also wants to draw, write and do maths tests (I kid you not LOL!)

My 6yo DS1 does tennis, football and beavers after school. My 4yo DD does tennis and gym. Sometimes they have friends over to play too.

So we are quite busy after school. But when nothing is planned, DS1 mainly just wants to watch TV or play on the computer. DD isn't interested in the TV and hardly watches any.

Wednesday is rainbows after school and thursday is street dance after school. otherwise she come shome, we do teh school work, reading and spelling and then she can play or watch tv.
We have busy weekends with her older brothers sports matches so I make sure she can relax on a weekday, she goes to Rainbows and street dance as she enjoys them and asked to go. We quit ballet and swimming as she didn;t enjoy them. Ballet was too strict and swimming, she can swim but hated the cold pool.

Dd plays out with her friends or watches TV. She would rather play out though.

my ds really does sound like a couch potato!!! I cannot wait for the warmer weather.........

My youngest has just turned 5, she has gymnastics one night, which I share a Rota at school with other mums. (so I go once every 3 weeks ... Heavenly) She has swimming lessons on the weekend.

She asked about rainbows, but you can't start here until you are 6, and I think she will still be to young to take it all in' so I will cross that path when she turns 6.
