Yesterday was the first "official" day of after-school activities. School is over at 13 hours(1:00pm) then the children have one hour to eat lunch, play, do whatever they please until 14 hours(2:00pm). Afternoon activities start at 14 hours until 15:30 hours. All activities are free!
Bradley is on the swim team which practices for 45 minutes then he changes clothes and goes to "touch typing". Well, I know that my son has a hard time making it from his bedroom to the bathroom so...I hung out yesterday to help him make the transition. The funny part was that the only other mother that felt the need to "assist" their children was my friend Nubia, also from the States. As the Headmaster walked by me yesterday afternoon, I just said "Yes, I'm a little controlling and need to make sure my boy doesn't get lost". He just nodded his head.
Chelsea signed up for Basketball which is played for 1 1/2 hours. Out of 20 kids there were 2 girls, her and Ishna- another girl from her class. I had a chance to meet the PE coach and Athletic director and find out about the sports teams at school. He was very nice and informative. Chelsea had fun yesterday- good practice for her to play with the boys!!
Bradley's schedule: Monday- Swimming and Typing
Tuesday- Painting and Cricket
Wednesday- Swimming for just 45 minutes
Thursday- Cookery and Chess club
Friday- Swimming for 45 minutes
Chelsea's schedule- Monday/Wednesday- Basketball

My friend Caroline advised us this morning that her son, Chelsea's age signed up for Ping Pong and Cake Decorating- We all had a good laugh!!

Sounds like you all will be very busy every day. I wish we had more activities like that here in our schools.
