DD is in Y1 and is a pretty relaxed sort of girl. Goes with the flow and open to making friends although until recently hasn’t bonded with anyone. Luckily she’s starting to make closer friends now.
Theres one girl who was pretty nasty in reception. Lots of “you can’t come to my party”, “they can have a playdate but not you”, “we dont want to play with you” type antics. She had a close group of friends from preschool so started with a ready made gang versus my DD who didn’t know anyone.
I’d say shes pretty similar to her mum. Mum is quite rude about other mums, always speaks loudly in groups and likes to think she’s a queen bee etc.
Anyway, I mentioned it a few times to the reception teacher who seemed to do nothing about it, and now it’s continuing into Y1. Today, my daughter was told “I don’t like you” by said girl and her best friend.
We've taught our daughter to tell the teacher, although it seems she tells the child “I’m telling” but then doesn’t actually tell the teacher. So I’ve reinforced it’s important to tell the teacher so he can help.
I’m tempted to email in to inform the teacher myself but I’m also not sure if this is normal 5/6 yr old girl antics that will blow over? It’s not affecting my daughter too much, although she did say tonight that whilst she doesn’t cry outside, she cries inside 😢
Would you email the teacher?
