Hello everyone! 🐶

This week I had a very exciting visit from my friends Rach and Nici (the big boss!) from the PAWs team. They came to see how I’m getting on and to check out all the progress I’ve been making.

They were really impressed with how happy I am at school and how much I love spending time with all the children. They also noticed how well I’m doing with my loose lead walking — lots of practice paying off!

Rach and Nici had some brilliant ideas too. They thought it would be pawsome to set up a Bodhi postbox, so children can write me letters or draw me pictures. They also suggested starting Bodhi Awards to celebrate kind behaviour, which I think is a fantastic idea — kindness always deserves a wagging tail!

Thanks for being such an amazing school. I feel very lucky to be part of it. 🐾✨

Love,Bodhi

Hi everyone!

This week I absolutely nailed my very first walk outside of school with Dani Rees and, not to brag, but I was a total superstar ⭐ I strutted my stuff on a beautiful loose lead, showing off just how clever I am — Dani was seriously impressed!

I took all the new sights and smells in my stride, head high and tail wagging, like the confident legend I’m becoming. 🐶Bodhi

Woof woof everyone!

It’s me, Bodhi, your four-legged school pal. I’ve been busy this week making the important rounds – checking classrooms for dropped pencils, having cuddles, and helping out with some excellent finding work on the school field. You’ll spot the photo of me lying on my back on this update – that was taken when I was having a well-earned relax after all that sniffing and searching. Finding work really makes my brain tired, so a good roll and a rest were definitely needed!

I’ve been especially proud of how kind and calm everyone has been around me. Remember, gentle voices and slow hands help me do my very best school-dog work. My tail has been wagging non-stop because of all the smiles and kindness I’ve seen.

I can’t wait to be back soon for more learning, sniffing, and lunchtime strolls. Until then, keep being pawsome and looking out for one another.

Big licks and waggy tails,Bodhi

Hello everyone, it’s me, Bodhi! I just wanted to say a huge thank you to our very kind governor and his wife, who went out of their way to collect a lovely free sofa especially for me. It’s pawsitively perfect for relaxing after a busy day of school visits, listening and tail-wagging. When I’m a little calmer and have definitely learnt not to chew books, our KS1 children will be able to use it to sit and read to me — which I’m really looking forward to. Thank you for the kindness and generosity shown… I promise lots of careful listening (and only a little snoozing!). 🐶📚Bodhi

Woof hello everyone! I had a pawsome Christmas break with lots of naps, snacks (quality control is very important) and festive walks. Even so, I couldn’t wag my tail fast enough to come back to school and see my school family — I missed all the fuss!

Over the holidays, I went on a big adventure down to Reading for a huge family occasion with 24 grown-ups and children. That meant 24 chances for tummy rubs, ear scratches and accidentally dropped food (a dog can dream). There were so many smells that my nose is still recovering! I loved being right in the middle of the excitement, but I’m now back at school, ready for learning, listening… and the occasional sneaky nap under a desk. 💤🐾

p.s. Tina didn’t dress me up – it is AI!!!Bodhi

Woof! It’s me, Bodhi,

I just wanted to wag by and say a big hello as we reach the end of a very busy term.

Christmas time in school is very exciting for a dog like me. There have been sparkly decorations to admire, Christmas songs to snooze through (some louder than others), and lots of happy children rushing around.

Now I’m looking forward to the holidays. I have big plans for lie-ins, lots of sleeping, and maybe a long muddy walk or two. Mostly though, I’ll be recharging my paws so I’m ready for more school adventures in the new year.

Thank you for all the smiles, gentle strokes, and kindness this term. I hope you all have a cosy, happy Christmas and a very restful break.Bodhi

Woof woof, hello everyone!

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

Woof woof, friends — Bodhi here!

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

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
