Following on from a current thread about a Y2 pupil it go tme thinking about DD who is now in year 3.
Currently she does, apart from school:
Mon - nothing
Tues - breakfast club - 8am and modern dance - 45 mins 4.45 to 5.30pm
Wed - breakfast club & after school club until 4.30pm
THurs - breakfast club then nothing
Fri - breakfast club then currently nothing, but name down for Brownies
Sat - Gymnastics - 11 - 12.30
Sun - swimming lesson 8.45 - 9.15am!!
She does other clubs in school lunchtime such as gardening and art, but decides herself is and when she does this.
She has signed up for the musical instrument auditions, so may have one instrument to learn as well if she passes.
She is generally ok, but I personally think the gymnastics is too much - it is a hard class and is for 1.5 hours. We tend not to do too much either side of that class - just chill.
Swimming is not an option to drop and the time suits as we are up anyway and it doesnt stop us going out as a family. It is only half an hour, and she is doing well.
But having seen the homework so far - reading every day, spellings to practice Mon to Thurs, and then other homework twice a week, then throwing in an istrument may just push me over the edge!
She is paid up for gymnastics until November, and I was then thinking of saying she was not able to go as long as she gets a Brownies place. Is that mean of me???!!!
Any thoughts from other Yr3 parents!
