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

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

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

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
