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 🐶

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

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 🐾

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 🐶

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 🌈🐶🌈

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

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 🐾

Woof! I am feeling very proud of myself because during the half-term holiday I learnt a brand-new trick – rolling a dice! Sometimes I give it a gentle nudge with my nose and sometimes I use my paws. It took lots of practice (and a few tasty treats helped too!) but I kept trying and got better and better. I am very excited because soon I will be able to help the children play games by rolling the dice for them. I can’t wait to show off my new skill and be part of the fun. Until then, I’ll keep practising and making sure I don’t get distracted by squirrels, tennis balls or any snacks that might mysteriously appear nearby! Bodhi 🐾

Woof!

I really loved it when the firefighters came to visit Early Years. I enjoyed seeing the big fire engine and learning about how firefighters help people. I was very impressed with all of the children too — they listened so carefully, asked brilliant questions, and showed fantastic behaviour. I think they were all superstars! Pawfectly exciting and fun!”

I hope that you all have a pawsome half term holiday. Lots of love from your school dogBodhi xx

Woof woof!

I had a very important weekend because I passed my latest training course for adolescent dogs! My humans said I did really well, and I was very proud of myself (especially because there were treats involved).

I practised staying still while Tina walked away from me — which is VERY hard when you love people as much as I do. I also worked on leaving tasty treats on the floor without gobbling them up straight away (possibly the hardest challenge ever), and I even managed to walk past other dogs without pulling on my lead to say hello.

I’m getting better every week, although Tina says I still need to keep practising some of these things. Apparently “perfectly behaved Labrador” takes time! 🐾Love from Bodhi
