To be fair, it takes place earlier on in Weiss' training, when she was less skilled and experienced. It seems like Winter was teaching her a lesson by having the Beowolf summons gang up on her the way that they did before she called out for help. Weiss' behavior throughout the fight seemed like she was trying to look flashy and cool. She even threw her only weapon at an enemy, which was a stupid thing to do. When she used fire Dust, she then seemed to marvel at her weapon's capabilities, as if she was still fairly new to using Myrtenaster and Dust.

Anyway, it seems almost as if Winter was punishing her for not taking the spar seriously. Weiss knew that the Beowolves were just Winter's summons and that she was in no real danger, so she may not have been taking the spar wholly seriously, hence her just standing there after she lost her weapon. So, Winter simulated a real battle by having one of her summons attack Weiss and appear to actually be trying to bite her, followed by the rest of the summons jumping in to "finish her off".
