Running banned in playground

[GothDetective]

DD's primary school have banned running in the playground after a girl was knocked over. All the children are now only allowed to walk. I'm a bit annoyed as I always thought that playtime was a good time to burn up some energy and calories.

Lunch time play has also been shortened to 10 mins before lunch and 10 minutes after lunch. DD says its because some of the boys were been naughty in the playground.

I feel like saying something to the school about it but am aware that it probably wouldn't make any difference.

Thanks for allthe advice, sorry it was all over nothing.

phew thank goodness they've all learned their lesson, no more knock overs in the playground now then.

Last summer our school banned handstands and cartwheels on the grass (huge playing fields)because it is apparently too dangerous !!
