Is this bullying?

Hello,long story short . There is two girls that used to be friends with my daughter at school , but lately my daughter doesn't mention them anymore. That is not the problem . I asked her how are things at school and just general questions. She keeps mentioning that those girls are laughing at her . Today she said one of them laughed because she accidentally peed herself (also that has happened strangely two days in a row twice in a day) very unusual . Then I start to ask more ,she starts to tell me other stuff like one of them putting her cardigan in the rice bowl and laughing , stealing her gloves and running from her as joke . I said do they do that to each other as well she said no just to me . So I am finding hard to understand if it's joke for them or they being mean. My daughter said she doesn't like it but I can't tell yet if it's them just being silly or mean to her. What do u think ? Is this bullying or should I ask her more questions ?I really don't know . I have seen one of them hitting her with bag and I asked my daughter was she joking and she said yes . Part of me thinks that she doesn't get it and lets them laugh at her . I really don't know . Maybe I am looking too much into it.

How old are they?
Id certainly discuss with her teacher not sure why you wouldn’t

@Runningoutofthyme they are at reception class so 4-5 . Because they used to be always friendly so I thought maybe it's just the way they are . Being silly . Now I am starting to think that might not be the case anymore .

Yep that's bullying. Especially since it's not going both ways.

They may not be doing it maliciously and they might think it's just playing, but if your daughter is feeling upset by it then I think you owe it to her to talk to the teacher and make sure it stops, and that the other kids are taught about respecting another child's boundaries and not continuing with a game if it's not fun for everyone.
