If it is a one off let it go. A primary school won't rip the offenders kids head off as our cuddly little society we live in doesn't let it happen but he will get a bollocking. If its repeated start to be mildly concerned. Speaking as someone who has 30+ years in primary schools and is now avoiding spending my lunch time writing accident reports.
No pudding for a week.
I came here for this!
When my kid's friends (6 and 7) decided to slap each other in the face, the school started a 'keeping hands to ourselves' group with the school counselor. The group had an hour a week for around half the year. The parents were asked if they would let their kids participate and were told why. This happened before the parents heard anything about it from the kids. The school actively nipped it in the bud across the 1st-grade classes. I think there were around 8 kids in it. It has worked well from what we heard from the parents. The kids are young and driven by their emotions; they don't know a lot better, really.

Quite, and as also said further up, they are unreliable witnesses, which is why: "give your son a pair of bombers and let him rip"; "Hold the little **** arms behind his back and tell you son to let rip"; "Drop kick the kid, next time it coukd be a dog’s face"; and "walk over and punch one or both of them in face" etc aren't exactly a good way to respond in this century.
Sorry, I found this type of language quite disturbing when referring to a 6 year old.
I could be going out on a limb here but, regardless of what century it is, a sense of humour in these situations is never a bad thing. I don’t think anyone is seriously suggesting any of these things take place.
I’d just have a chat with the teacher and ask that they monitor the situation. Six year olds aren’t in control of their emotions and these things unfortunately happen. Repeated behaviour of this nature isn’t good and the kid clearly needs some guidance or the OP needs to wee in his parents shoes.

I know I see that, I just found it too aggressive in this context.
