    i'd give her a go at the choir, especially as it is a weekend thing. if she is too tired then pull her out until another term. each kid is different and copes differently. they do say to not put them in (our school mentioned it) but honestly, we kept DD in at swimming and she was fine. some days she was tired and didnt listen that well during the lesson...but seriously, that is also normal for her

    DD did swimming and dance throughout Term 1 and she was fine. She was used to 5 days of childcare/preschool previously, plus being a Sept bub was almost 5.5 when she started.

    I'd let her do it if she's keen - choir isn't a particularly taxing activity

    My first child was super tired the first term after she started prep, however my second child was fine. So I really think it depends on each child.

    I would keep your daughter in her activities and just let her miss one or two if she's really tired. If she's high energy I'm sure she will adjust really quickly.
