Too cold for six years olds to be outside for PE for 45 minutes?

I'm all for getting the kids outside, particularly mine, but it was 0 degrees in London today and my DD1 told me that they did PE outside and they were all freezing in their tracksuit bottoms and school t shirts, also allowed school cardigans but that's it. No gloves, majority of them already coughing and spluttering as is the January norm. Some of the, crying. It's not like they were playing rugby and sweating their arses off. AIBU to have a word with the teacher in the morning?

Difficult one. The children who are constantly on the move would probably be fine (ours seemed unperturbed by being on Margate beach in sub zero Feb temperatures!) but the ones who don't tent to zip around or aren't being very active in that particular activity could be very miserable. I would have thought sensible experienced teachers would make sure they are suitably dressed and kept very active while outside.
