My five year old daughter is part of a trio of close pals in her reception class. Her teacher has told me & the parents of the other two that they all need to play more with other children. Teacher admitted that the other few girls in this class are either tomboys or loners, ie no other potential playmates. The other reception class is teeming with girly girls and I am now considering whether I should ask that my daughter is moved to the other class. She is the most gregarious of the trio. I feel let down by the school at the strange distribution of children between the two classes which leaves one class with a handful of mis-matched kids and the other class with the more rounded kids. I know I'm probably over-reacting about this though.
