A NURSERY school teacher has been given the sack after she kicked and slapped two little girls who could not memorise a dance routine properly for a Christmas show.

The shocking incident - caught on film - happened a few days before the festive holiday in the county of Huoqiu, which is in Lu’an City in East China’s Anhui Province.

Surveillance footage taken from the school shows the two girls, aged around four or five, taking part in the dance, which was to be shown to all the parents for their annual Christmas show.

However, the girls seem to struggle to memorise the dance routine, which involves half the group standing up while the other half squats down.

Their impatient teacher, whose name was not mentioned, pulls the two girls by the hair and takes them aside, after which she shockingly kicks them in their backside as punishment for their poor coordination.

After letting them rejoin the group of dancing kids, the pair struggle with the movements once more and are singled out second time, when they are slapped and poked harshly.

The girls are believed to have told their families about the abuse, and their mums and dads demanded to see CCTV footage from the classroom.

There appeared to be at least one other teacher inside the classroom at the time of the incident, but she did not intervene either.

The shocking revelations have led the parents to sue the school for damages, as well as call for the teacher’s dismissal.

The educator was sacked shortly after, and the nursery school is negotiating with the parents over compensation for the traumatic experience.
