Walkies by the river with Bodhi

Woof! Woof!

This week I have been enjoying my lunchtime walks by the river. I had great fun walking with these guys; we made quite a team – the three Bs!

I loved listening to them chat as we explored together, and I’m looking forward to enjoying my walks with even more children in the weeks to come.🐾Bodhi 🐶

Bodhi’s New Friends in Early Years

Woof!

This week I met my new friends in Early Years, and what a lovely bunch they are! I am so proud of the brilliant start they have made— settling into school, learning new routines and making lots of new friends. They were very gentle and kind when they met me, and I’m looking forward to spending lots more time with them.Bodhi 🐾

Bodhi’s Lunchtime Walks

Woof!

This week I have really enjoyed my lunchtime walks by the river with some of the Year 5 and 6 children. I love spending time with the children and listening to them tell me all about what they have been doing at school and at home. We even found lots of shiny conkers along the way—although apparently I’m not allowed to eat them! I’m already looking forward to our next adventure together. 🐾🍂Bodhi 🐶

International Dog of Mystery?

Woof! This week I visited Ms Craggs’ class because the country they are learning about for Global Week is Canada. Did you know that Labradors originally come from Canada? Who knew—I’m practically an international expert! The children made some fabulous Labrador-inspired corner bookmarks, and I was very impressed. They looked just like me! 🐾Bodhi 🐶

 

Happy New (School) Year from Bodhi

Woof! I’m so happy to be back at school, saying hello to everyone again! I have been very impressed by how brilliantly all the children have settled in—they have been kind, helpful and ready to learn. Saying hello to so many people is very tiring work, though, so please excuse me if you spot me having a little snooze! 🐾💤Bodhi

Bodhi has a message for Y6

Woof woof!

I have been a very lucky dog this week. Thank you so much to everyone who brought me lovely presents, tasty treats and lots of cuddles. My tail has been wagging non-stop! I feel very spoiled, and I am so grateful to have such kind friends at Fishergate.

A special goodbye goes to our amazing Year 6 children. Thank you for being so gentle with me, playing with me and always stopping to say hello. I know you are going to do brilliant things at secondary school. Be brave, be kind, make lots of new friends and remember—you’ll always have a furry friend cheering you on from Fishergate.

Good luck, Year 6. I will miss you… but I’ll make sure I keep an eye out for your younger brothers and sisters (and any biscuits you might accidentally leave behind!).

Lots of love and tail wags,Bodhi 🐾

Forest Fun for Bodhi

Woof! 🐾

I love playing with my friends in the forest and on the field, but it is very thirsty work when the weather is warmer. Bodhi 🐶

Rainbow Day with Bodhi

Woof! 🐾

I had such a colourful day celebrating Rainbow Day with everyone! I loved seeing all the bright clothes and happy smiles around school. I think every colour looked pawsome… although black is still my favourite because it matches my shiny fur!

Thank you for helping make our school such a bright, kind and welcoming place. Keep spreading kindness wherever you go! Bodhi 🌈🐶🌈

Bodhi’s Storytime and Reading Challenge!

Woof!

I have been very busy lately listening to children read. All this reading has given me an idea.

Over the summer, I am setting all the children at Fishergate a special challenge – to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge at the library. Reading is one of my favourite things to listen to, although chasing tennis balls is still my favourite thing to do!

Happy reading, everyone!Love from 🐶Bodhi

Bodhi’s OPAL Challenge for the Children

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 🐾
