Ds 5 home with a black eye today grrrr

[lilacclaire]

Already posted this in education, apologies but only one response and desperate.....

My ds in P1, one of the youngest in his class.

Phone call at lunch time to say that he had bumped his head but was fine.

Picked him up and he had a swollen black eye!

He told me that he was playing with another boy, when a bigger boy in the class banged their heads together.

This 'bigger' boy apparantly pushed ds off his chair in the dinner hall and according to ds pushes him around quite a bit at break times etc.

I had gone into the school on tues and spoke to the teacher as ds had said that because of the pushing around he wasn't able to play with the other boys in his class and either spent lunchtimes on his own or his cousin comes round from the other playground to play with him.who said she would make sure they were monitered outside, apparantly yesterday they were fine and now this.

There is definetly more to this as ds did not want to go to this boys birthday party at the start of month (you usually just have to say party to ds and he's really excited).

Im absolutely fuming that my 5 year old has a black eye, I of course went back into the school and the teacher said that she would have a word with the boy tommorow (after prompting from me to have a word with him).

Im planning on going in to see if I can see the head teacher tommorow.

Any tips on the most effective thing to say, because the mood im in right now, it may not be very constructive..........

The classroom teacher did not know how it happened, all she knew was that he'd had an ice pack applied, she hadn't even noticed his eye was swelling and blackening until I pointed it out to her.

As far as im aware he was monitored for 1 day (yesterday) and all was fine.

When the school office called they said they did not know what had happened but didn't think it was anything untoward.

Ds said he and the other injured party told the playground teacher and they both had the ice packs.

I can imagine ds crying so much, he maybe couldn't get the words out what had happened at the time, although he did say he told the playground teacher what happened.

The playground teacher was the same one in the dinner hall that moved the boy to the teachers table after he pushed ds off his seat.
