6.5 year old having issues at school

She refused to engage in her school work the past two weeks and was in a very bad mood. She's behaved that way since.

She just says no I don't want to. Won't say what's bothering her

Her teacher maybe thinks it's because she got the attention of both teachers when in a mood so she keeps doing it

Does anyone have any advice.

They've said it's not misbehaving she just doesn't seem herself or happy.

Before this hee teacher would say ivys one of the best behaved in class.

She's not said anything to me. Nothings changed at home. The only thing is we're going on holiday and she's upset to leave her pet Guinea pigs. Then that led her to crying saying she doesn't like to leave the people she loves.

She also has said some of the boys forcefully kiss her. One boy tells her his penis is hot and I've said ignore him and talk about something else. If it upsets you tell your teacher. And I told her tell her teacher that she doesn't want them to kiss her.

I'm very annoyed about her class set up. She's only primary 2 and is in with the year above her a split class primary 2 and 3. So she's in with 8 year olds. And it's 80% boys. There's very few girls. I think that's the issue.

Does anyone have any advice. Is this a normal things for age 6 turning 7. She's 7 in June.

Get onto the teacher asap about what the hoys are saying to her, that's a safeguarding issue.

You need to speak to the teacher about the boys, that is not acceptable at all and a safe guarding issue. Who knows, that could be what's causing her behaviour. You need to take it seriously and make sure a complete stop is put to it.

You really, really need to her onto the school about the forceful kissing and penis talk. She’s being assaulted and harassed. No wonder she’s unhappy. You can’t just leave it to her to raise with the teacher. Safeguarding conversation and demand for clear action asap.

The boys' behaviour is really pretty worrying. Agree with others that school need to be on top of this.

*Get onto the school. Damn autocorrect
