Not such a good day for Izzy, sadly.  She had expressed a little bit of unhappiness yesterday after school at the fact that the other kids in her new school had not been very friendly.  Today she was even more upset and when Anne went to pick her up, she was playing all by herself, whilst all the other kids were running around in groups.  Now, if you know Izzy, you will know that she is a very sociable and likeable kid, one who makes friends very easily, given a chance. 

So we are very disappointed that the school and teacher have seemingly not made the effort to ensure that the other kids make her welcome and include her.  We shall speak to them.  We do not want to be helicopter parents or make a fuss not needed, but this is not really acceptable.
