Allow us to watch our children on sports day

Petition Details

Why is it ok for events to be allowed outdoors with crowds but we can not watch our children in an open field on their sports day?
You could do one class a day and there’s plenty of room on the outdoor fields for social distancing. But we are allowed to sit inside a cinema or small cafe

Additional Information
