Daughter being excluded from school activities

4 replies

So today I take my dd to school and notice that most of her class year 1 and the other class and most of the year 2 pupils were in non uniform.
I didn't get a text or letter saying there was a trip or anything and when looking at the newsletter it said they had a dance work shop to go to today. I thought maybe they would go in there p.e kits etc.
So another parent asked of there was a school trip but I overheard them say that they were picked to go to the dance thing etc.
So on the way out I noticed more children coming in and one of my daughter's friends her and her sister were in none uniform so I thought it was a bit of a coincidence.
So I emailed the school to see if I had missed something or not got a text.
The reply was that the names were picked out of a hat and those who weren't picked were doing fun stuff in school.
So fair enough.

When I picked my daughter up she told me there were only 4 year ones including her that didn't go. She didn't mind she said they were just doing drawing and colouring which she likes.
But I just think it's an odd way to treat some children .

I was gonna complain but not sure if I should just leave it . My daughter would of loved to go .

I would complain. To leave 4 children out seems really unfair.

Yep can't see why the school done it this way. Goodness knows how the other children felt.

Really odd and I would ask questions. I'm a teacher btw.

I'll see my dd class teacher in the morning and ask what my dd and the other children that didn't get drawn out of this hat did instead.
As I think staying in the classroom and doing art stuff isn't a replacement on going somewhere and having fun.
Surely if there were only a few left behind they could of let them go, don't think if would of made a big difference.

I understand when house teams win etc and get the most points so the house team will get to go out for a treat but for this to happen God knows what the children are thinking.
I probably over think things but if it happened to me at that age I would feel like shit and not good enough.
I know my daughter is quiet but it's not going to help her confidence etc.
