If you haven't already done so, it may be a good idea for you to have a private talk with the class teacher.

It appears that there may be some underlying problem like bullying going on that is making her afraid to go to school.

You do need to get to the bottom of things to find out why she has gone this way.  

Also ask your daughter questions about what she does at school, who she plays with, does she enjoy taking part in school activities and what she does and does not like.  She may just have a problem with the actual class teacher and may not like her teacher.  

Does she have a phobia about school every day, or on a specific day only?  Sometimes children will hate taking part in a particular school sport and will not want to go to school and may even start to feel genuinely very ill to avoid going.

Try and ask your daughter these questions in a way that she will not know that you are actually trying to figure out what the problem is.  To begin with ask how her day was and what she did at school.  

Best of luck.

i'm not able to understand what happened to her , the moment she enter the school she raised her shoulder up and try to avoid situations like interaction with teacher  , lack of confidence that she is doing well , make her on thinking that if she'll go to the teacher she'll scold her , reserve etc....

At home she is perfectly fine like playing with her friends , confident , lively.etc
