Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day - and one way to achieve this is through PE lessons at school. But one mum has been left outraged after her Year 4 daughter was forced to participate in an outdoor PE lesson when temperatures dropped below freezing.
Wearing only her polo shirt, shorts and plimsolls, the child was expected to run around as if it was a warm summer's day while the teacher stood by in a thick coat. Taking to Mumsnet, the woman wrote: "The teacher stood there in her coat, hat and gloves. Apparently after the children said they were cold, they were allow to put on their hats. I'm not one to mollycoddling my kids but it was -1C all day here yesterday."
