Are friendships made in reception?

[user1489673618]

My daughter has made a friend and she is friendly to everyone. There are a core group of friends that she is on the outside of and I feel bad that she doesn't get invited to their group gatherings. I figured it is partly because the parents are friends as well. Do friendships change over the course at primary school? I was always an outsider at primary school and it really effected me. When children have more control do they make different friends? Or will she remain on the edge of the group? x

Yes they do, encourage her to be friends with lots of children. I've found (as a parent and TA) that friendships come and go.
