School attendance certificates

[Purplebunny95]

DD is 5 and started school in September, so far relatively happy.
Today theyve handed out attendance awards for this half term in assembly, and despite never missing a day of school DD didnt get one. I questioned her teacher at pick up and she said it's because she missed 1 afternoon. Scratching my head I remembered they had sent her home at lunchtime one day as she "looked a bit peaky", when I picked her up she was fine, chatting away to the receptionist and running around but they insisted I take her home "just in case".

AIBU to be a bit peeved? She doesnt understand why some of her friends have certificates and a sweet when she doesnt. I do know it's not the end of the world but it has annoyed me!

You say, 'they chose to send her home'.
Yes they did, they had her best interests at heart, not being ill and giving you the chance as her parent to get her checked out.
Do you really expect them to say " ooo, hang on she won't get her certificate?!

Ps OP I made my son a huge homemade glittery certificate for being 100% awesome and he loved it, perhaps that might help your daughter

That's cute. My dd has loads of medical appointments so at Christmas, I got her an extra gift and called it her 'appointment present' for being so good at coming along to her appointments without complaining.
