To think the SENCO, of all people should be more careful with what she says or am I just being sensitive?

DD's sports day yesterday.
DD has recently come to the SENCO's attention as it seems she is possibly/probably dyspraxic.
One of the activities was throwing a bean bag into a hoop, of all the children doing it DD was completely unable, she missed by a long shot or practically dropped it at her feet, every time.

Myself and DP were encouraging her to concentrate, telling her she could do t, to focus etc when the SENCO tells her 'XXX you need to do better, yellow team are way behind because of this' followed by 'Do you need to wear glasses? Can't you see where you are meant to be throwing it!'

The tone of voice wasn't particularly nice and DD's face dropped at the remarks. She knew she couldn't do it, and her team had been in front until this point so being told it all rested on her that they were coming last was unfair surely? Especially when it's the bloody SENCO that is supposed to be monitoring her behaviour re: dyspraxia.

She is 7 btw.

Another horrified teacher here. Definitely speak to head.

That's an appalling way for any adult to behave, let alone a teacher. And she's the SENCO? Words (almost) fail me. DO complain.

How was dd about it afterwards? Were her classmates friendly or did the horrid teacher's words have any effect on their attitude?

DD has dealt with it fine, as did her friends, they're a good bunch of kids and wouldn't say anything about it.
Plus she won the relay so that was much more prominent in their heads!

I spoke to DD's teacher today about the dyspraxia and told her I'm going to see the GP about it tomorrow.
She then told me she has a checklist she has to go through over the next week and then wants a meeting with me about it next week, apparently when the SENCO was doing this activity she knew exactly who DD was and why she found it hard because she mentioned it to DD's teacher that it definitely looked like a dyspraxic manifestation
Anyway, I told DD's teacher what she had said, said I wasn't happy and it had coloured my view on her dealing with DD and that if there are any similar incidents I shall be speaking to the head.
She seemed quite shocked and said she doubted the SENCO meant it any way except jovially but totally understood and asked how DD took it.
If ony she was going to be DD's teacher next year, we got lucky this year as she moved up from year 1 to year 2 but she is staying year 2 now (which is why she is trying to get the ball rolling with this dyspraxia dx now so it's already started.

Jovial???

Tell the head!

I may bring ti up with the SENCO herself at the meeting next week depending on what she is suggesting we do.
I don't want to hinder any of DD's chances for help and having no idea what her new class teacher is going to be like would prefer the SENCO on my side iyswim.
She will be made aware that I am Not A Happy Bunny though, Ohhhhhhh yes.
