What activities did/does your Year 3 boy do?

[bossykate]

hello all

am considering which if any activities to sign ds up for next year and would be very grateful to hear what others have enjoyed.

thanks very much for your help

My soon to be year 3 boy does football, tennis, spanish and will start music lessons next year. Oh and swimming, but only in the holidays (week long courses).

Oh, and Beavers.

Blimey.

That's a lot...

yes that is quite a lot

but thank you very much for the super fast response!

His favourites are Beavers and tennis BTW.

Swimming lessons (erratically), nothing else regular. I am always amazed by children who can consistently do anything out of school; mine are totally exhausted by school.

thank you

School chess club. Thats it.

swimming rugby an Beavers

swimming, cycling club and cricket (in summer)

Guitar, chess and football.

Guitar, swimming and Beavers/Cubs

Any body know of any kind of sports and venues that are available on Saturdays for working mum who desparately wants to take her child herself, in the Bromley/Beckenham area:]

Mine does swimming and an after-school club (within school).

hello all

thanks so much for these further replies

batters, i will consider anything - basket weaving, chimney sweeping....

mousebear, i hear you! we have exactly the same issue and the reason i'm investigating this now is because it will have some bearing on the childcare we choose when i go back to work. our previous arrangement didn't allow for any activities not offered at the school.

good luck

any more?

Beavers
Tennis (local council scheme)
Mousebear, if you can get over to LB Greenwich they offer tennis on a Sat morning and it is an excellent scheme
Also Charlton Junior Football Challenge (an activity not troubled by ds however)

hi marina. thanks for that. doesn't he do minimus?

btw, in case it's not clear, i am interested in activities done within school as well as out of school.

thanks again

Ds's are all (!) in school, except Beavers and holiday crash course swimming.

He does but that started in Year 4 .
We do have a Yr3 child but even though he is as bright as a button, my high level scholarship is a bit much for him at 4pm on a Friday
I like to think Minimus/Latin integrated into the timetable from Year 3 would be accessible to many children but I think you either have to be at uber-smart prep school or at a Tower Hamlets state primary for this

ah! i had assumed it started in year 3 but what do i know!

Oh! In school - judo, art club, choir.
