We started off talking about our personal space being like a bubble! We used a hula hoop to show how big our personal bubble should be. How would you feel if someone was in your personal bubble?
We explored how we would feel if a stranger came up and gave us a hug and compared that to how we would feel if it was our mum. We had a lovely volunteer Hasan to be our assistant and he explained how he would feel if Kane came into his bubble and how he would feel if Belinda came into his personal space.
Hasan said that he wouldn't like a stranger in his personal bubble but he's happy for his friend Kane to be there. Hasan said 'I didn't know Belinda until this afternoon but I do know Kane!'.
We also talked about how we should think about how other people would feel if we got in their space. How would someone feel if you gave them a hug after 3 days of not seeing them? Phoenix reckons that it could make someone feel nervous if you don't know them very well. Zoe remembered starting school here and feeling sad because she didn't know anyone but by the end of the day she had made lots of friends. She said 'I didn't mind my new friends being in my personal bubble at the end of the day'.
What should we say if people are in our space and we don't like it? We can say stop it I don't like it, or we could say excuse me, can you please step back a bit you're in my bubble.
Remember - it is always okay to tell someone to stop something that you aren't comfortable with :)
