Woof! I think I must be growing up because Mrs Clarke says I’m getting old enough to start coming to assembly again. I’m very excited to see everyone, although apparently I’m leaving quite a lot of black Labrador glitter (humans call it hair!) wherever I go. Sorry about that – I like to think it’s my way of making sure nobody forgets I’ve been there!

This half term I have set everyone an OPAL Challenge. I’d like all the children at Fishergate to:

🐾 Be kind to someone
🐾 Include someone in a game
🐾 Try something new at playtime

I’ve seen so many amazing things happening during OPAL playtimes already, and I know lots of you are brilliant at helping others join in. Sometimes trying something new can feel a bit scary (I know that feeling when I have to learn a new trick!), but that’s how we grow and learn. I’ll be keeping my eyes and floppy ears open to spot children taking on my challenge. I can’t wait to hear about the new games, friendships and adventures you have at playtime!Bodhi 🐾
