How much time per week...
... do you spend on extracurricular activities?
It's for a project I'm doing, please also include your grade. (anything from 1-8, that's all I need).
So if you have a smaller brother or sister, if you could tell me that too, that'd be great.
I need a grade, because I need the same amount of data in each grade range. Also, 0s are appreciated too!

Re: How much time per week...
I think my grade is the equivalent of 8th...
I do an hour and a quarter/half (it's meant to be an hour and a quarter, but sometimes we end up running over) of Astronomy every week, plus an hour and a half of rehearsals most weeks (some weeks last year and the year before, it got up to 6 hours of rehearsals a week, and, on show weeks, I do 7 hours of rehearsals, plus the three shows, lasting between two and three hours per show, plus maybe 3 or 4 hours of preparation).
Sometimes I get rehearsals at the weekends, too, which add 4-5 hours of extracurricular to my week...
Plus I'm joining my school's STEM club in the new year - which adds another 1 1/2 hours to my activities per week.
So currently, 3 hours per week, going up to 4.5 in the new year, possibly more, rehearsal dependant (usually a maximum of six (considering my role is only fairly minor this year), until show week).
EDIT: Also, my brother is in the equivalent of 6th grade, and he does 0 hours per week, but sometimes goes to watch his friend playing chess at our school's lunch time chess club.

Re: How much time per week...
I have at least 7.5 hours of swim practice a week, plus at least 3 hours on Saturday for a meet or practice. I have band every morning for an hour (5 hours a week) plus band during the school day (but I guess that's not extracurricular.) Chem club meets a half hour a week and I also have a half hour trombone lesson a week. So... at least 16.5 hours a week, usually more. I'm a junior. (11th grade)

Re: How much time per week...
I'm on the equivalent of Grade 8 on my country, and I do nothing, no after-school activities at least. Maybe half an hour of guitar practice if it counts.

Re: How much time per week...
Well I have Robotics club each week, so generally about 45 minutes. Of course it's more if you consider Scratch "extracurricular"

Yeah, at least an hour and a half every day, but often 2 and a half.
EDIT: Didn't realize you wanted only up through 8th grade. Sorry...
