I wonder if perhaps he may have had an absence seizure, or maybe just fallen asleep and woke up a bit fuzzy headed?

It definitely is a doctor's visit, though.

It is worrying, however, children have been away from school for such a long time, I wonder if he had lost concentration and forgot where he was.
If there is no indication that he is unwell, you could ask his teacher to keep an eye on him for the next few days, as obviously his parents will, and see if there are any other episodes. Then at least you will have some information for his GP.
I hope it's nothing serious and there are no other incidents.

Anxiety attack ? Wouldn't be surprised as it has been traumatic and worrying for children in lockdown.

Has he just returned to school after lockdown? Maybe just ‘forgot’ where he was, and went out, thinking he was still at home, then realised he wasn’t.

Just a thought. Obviously get him checked if still worried.

No but I would suggest an urgent visit to doctor, in case it’s something that needs investigating. Hope all is well.

DD had an email from DGS teacher yesterday to say that 9 year old DGS demonstrated an odd behaviour yesterday. He suddenly got up and walked out of the classroom. She assumed he had gone to the toilet and on his return went to remind him that he should ask before leaving. He seemed confused. He hadn’t gone to the toiled nor did he know that why he had left the room and seemed very confused. I thought about petit mal but surely during one of those you just sit or stand still. Has any GNer come across anything like this?
