Hello, This may or may not be the correct place to post my question but in a way it has something to do with the school...
This evening when I came home from work, I noticed something like a 1,5 inches long scratch ( or a shallow cut), at the corner of dd's left eye. She is 4.5 yrs old and just started reception class beginning of November. So she still tiny.
She told me she hurt herself with a KNIFE at school at dinner hall. Apparently she was trying to cut the meat on her plate and on her own sentence: the knife wobbled in her hands and she scratched the corner of her eye with the knife! The corner of her eye! It is so close to her eye, actually the sctratch starts from the exact corner of her eye. Looks horrible, red and long!
It is a freak accident probably. I do not blame the school staff for the actual accident, but my problem is, apparently it went unnoticed all afternoon whereas as soon as I saw her face, I noticed. I mean, it was immpossible not to notice the long red mark, she is so pale and fair.
What is the procedure for such things, I want to complain that it went unnoticed for hours and also want to ask them to put this on accident book or something.
Any ideas? Many thanks...
