This week I had a pawsome time watching the EYU Christmas show rehearsal. I lay quietly (even though my tail wanted to wag!) and listened to all the singing and music.
The children sang beautifully and were amazing performing in front of the whole school, using the stage and microphones like real stars.
I was one very proud pup!Bodhi
Guess what I got up to this week? I trotted into the Salvation Army assembly and wowza, my tail nearly wagged off! There were mountains of toys that Fishergate families had donated. Honestly, it looked like Santa’s sleigh had exploded (in a good way). You humans are SO generous — those toys will make lots of children super happy.
Huge woofs of thanks to two of the lovely pupils for sitting with me. They were top-quality humans: excellent at stroking, very good at keeping me company, and 10/10 for helping me stay calm even when I wanted to sniff everything.Bodhi
Hello everyone!
It’s Bodhi here with my weekly update. This week I went to my very first Year 5/6 assembly. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but one of my lovely Year 5 friends sat beside me the whole time to help me feel calm and confident. I tried my best to listen carefully and sit nicely—although I might have wagged my tail a bit too loudly!
Tina said she thinks the children were paying more attention to me than to her, but I promise I wasn’t trying to steal the show. I just can’t help being adorable.
I’m looking forward to more adventures around school next week. Until then—big wags and happy paws!Bodhi
Woof woof everyone! It’s Bodhi here. I’ve been having the BEST time this autumn. The river path is full of crunchy leaves, perfect for sniffing and zooming through — sometimes one even sticks to my nose!
And I’ve just been on my first-ever walks in the snow. At first I wasn’t sure about the cold, fluffy stuff, but then I realised it’s like a sparkly carpet. I left pawprints everywhere, tried to catch snowflakes on my tongue, and I’m still learning that snowballs aren’t snacks… even though they look delicious!Bodhi
Hello everyone! It’s me, Bodhi! This week I’ve been learning how to give a high five!
I’m not quite there yet, but I’m showing lots of resilience and determination — just like all of you when you’re learning something new.
I’ll keep practising (especially if there are treats involved!), and I can’t wait to show you once I’ve mastered it!Bodhi
I had such an exciting half term. I went on a big adventure all the way from York to Reading on the train! I’ll be honest — I was a bit nervous at first. Trains are noisy and they wobble quite a lot! But once I realised I could have a nice snooze and get extra cuddles, I started to enjoy it. The best bit was meeting a new dog friend called Lewis. We ran around, played chase, and shared toys (well… mostly!)Bodhi
I’ve had such a pawsome time walking with you along the river this week! The leaves are crunchy, the air smells amazing, and there are so many exciting things to see (and sniff!).
I love it when we walk together — you talk to me, walk so nicely, and you’re brilliant at being calm and kind.
Remember, a little walk and some fresh air can make you feel wag-tastic inside! Big wags,Bodhi
Bodhi has enjoyed having some company on his lunchtime walks and is looking forward to the arrival of a double handled lead so that the children can have a go at holding him alongside me (if they want to!) It is also a great chance for me to have a good chat with a few children at a time and to find out about what they have been getting up to.
He has also been working alongside two small groups of children on the field and amazing us all with his skills. The places where the children are hiding the ball for him to find are getting harder and harder but, with their help, he is doing brilliantly!
Bodhi had his second PAWs visit on Thursday and he did brilliantly. Rachel could see how happy and comfortable he was in school and gave us some top tips to help with his barking, although it has already got so much better!
It is such a privilege to be taught by someone who is such an expert in their field and Lisa, Dani and I are learning so much! She taught us a scent game that he loved and which he will be able to play with children.
Another good week in the life of a school dog! Bodhi has has fun playing ‘Find It’ with small groups of children on the school field. He has also had some more company on his lunchtime walks by the river. We will be starting to timetable this more formally in the coming weeks so the children know when their turn is coming with Bodhi is coming. We will still be very mindful of how young is he though and will make sure that we aren’t expecting too much of him. He is still a dog who loves (and needs) his sleep!
