I know I probably am but DS1 found out his new class today and not one of his closest friends is with him.

OK, he doesn't seem that bothered at the moment, so why has it upset me?!!!! This is going up to yr4 and he has been part of the same little group of 4 friends since Reception. Even in Yr3 when they were mixed up for the first time he still had one of them with him.

I just feel a bit sad for him - I know they will still meet up at playtimes etc and he can now forge some new friendships - but just needed to tell someone!

little ramble over .........

My DD's class (currently reception) will be split for Yr 1 and they have done it strictly by age. I feel very lucky that DD by chance wil be with her best friend (as she would be very upest). It does seem harsh that if there isn't a strict criteria like this, that LO aren't allowed to keep at least one of their current close friends.
