Dd (Y2) started a new school on Monday. The school uniform says PE kit should be school T shirt and black shorts. Before she started and I was in school, I saw some of the older girls doing PE in cycling shorts, so I assumed black leggings would be ok and sent her in with these in her PE kit.
Anyway, she had PE on Wednesday and came home saying she is not allowed the leggings and needs black shorts. Fine , I will go to the uniform shop at the weekend, which is probably the only place you can get them at this time of year. Then yesterday she had PE again and had to sit out because she didn't have the shorts. 
Apparently you can't do gymnastics in leggings. 
She was sad as they were playing stuck in the mud which she loves. I really don't see why you can't wear leggings to play that!
This is not some posh school, it is a state school in a fairly deprived area. At our last school we didn't even have a pointless PE uniform.
I just feel it was very unkind to make a small girl sit out of PE which she loves, single her out in her first week at a new school and give me one evening's notice to get shorts for her.
So, anyway, do I bring this up with class teacher (who is lovely)? Or PE teacher herself? And what do I say?
