Learning with Bodhi about personal space

Woof, everyone!

Apparently, there is something called “personal space” … and this week’s photo suggests I haven’t quite mastered it! Here I am getting very close to Tina’s sister. I was sure she would appreciate the company!

Tina used this photo in assembly this week to talk about how sometimes kindness means giving people space. We all need a little room or a quiet moment sometimes, and being kind means noticing how others feel, asking before giving a hug and listening when someone wants some space.

I’m still working on this one. Surely there’s always room for a little Bodhi cuddle?🐾 Bodhi 🐶

Bodhi’s holiday plans

Woof, everyone!

If you’ve spotted my enormous yawn in the photo, you’ll know exactly how I’m feeling at the end of this busy half term! All those greetings, walks and time spent with my Fishergate friends have left me ready for a snooze.

But I have a half-term adventure ahead! I’m going on the train to Reading to spend time with one of my favourite dog friends, Lewis. I’m hoping for plenty of walks, playtime and a good sniff around together. Perhaps I’d better have a nap on the train so I’m ready for all the excitement!

Have a wonderful half-term holiday, everyone. I’ll be back after the break with a wagging tail and some holiday adventures to tell you about!

Love and woofs,Bodhi 🐶
