Looking for advice.
I am in Scotland so schools have been back 3 or 4 weeks now. A new girl called Jane started first day back.
By the end of the second week Dd had been talking about Jane everyday, and seemed very fond of her. I was delighted as she has never really had a friend in her class. Her only friend is in the other class.
On the Friday of the third week back she said she hadn't played with Jane because the day before Jane kept hitting Dd's head of a lampost when they were lining up to go back to class. So much so that dd had to put her hands behind her head but then her hands got sore too
Apparently Jane had also been pinching back of Dd's hand most days at end of their lunch when all the staff were away. When dd would tell her it was sore she just kept doing it.
She had also been pulling her plaits so her head was forced back when in line and other children were witness to most of this.
Called the school last Monday and spoke to class teacher who said she would sort. Dd came out of school and said teacher had spoken to both girls seperately and then made Jane apologise to her and made dd promise to tell her if Jane did anything to her again.
I thought rest of the week went ok. Tday she tells me that on Thursday dd dropped her sandwich on a chair and Jane hit it to the ground and kept standing on it, so dd had to pick up dirty sandwich and put it in the bin, dd's hand then got all dirty.
Then today dd dropped her rubber whilst trying to pack up for hometime. Again Jane kept standing on it and wouldn't let dd pick it up. Eventually anther girl came over and held Jane's foot to stop her so as dd could retrieve the rubber. Dd said she then ended up late to join the line and had to run to catch up "and your not allowed to run in school Mum".
The incidents since the teacher talked do not have the violent element to them. I know they are low level but still enough to be humiliating. Should I tell the teacher tomorrow. I also want to ask the teacher not to let them go partners for anything. When I tell dd to tell Jane she doesn't want to be her partner dd says she will get into trouble.
Any advice welcome.
