Do people think because it was a girl on her period that is ok for her to say I'm on my rag to a teacher?
I bet if it was a boy who said to me I need a piss there would be outcries.
But if they have a medical problem they would be allowed to go, it's a couple of hours between breaks, not hard for a 10 year old to hold a wee for 2 hours max.
Just to point out the girl had been in the toilet 2 mins prior so chances are she didn't even need a wee or why would she have not gone?

What is the difference between me not being...
If I can not get someone to watch the children I have to wait.
I don't think non teachers realise how many children fail to go when they get the opputunity.
I remember last year before an afternoon long assembly I let all the children go before heading to the hall. 2 minutes later a girl asked...
Well considering her mum didn't complain she was probably not bleeding in her knickers, if she was she should have been more polite, not my problem.
Not happened in my class yet and I can't begin to imagine how many times I have said no.
