Making a new friend…

Hello everyone! 🐶

This week I met Kat properly — she’s the one who looks after our website (including my very own section, which has been there for a while now… as it should be!).

I was a little unsure at first and managed two big barks — new people can make me a bit nervous — but I settled down very quickly once I realised she was kind. After that, I was more than happy to enjoy a lovely cuddle. Here’s a photo of us together — I think I look very professional.

And some exciting news… from next half term I’ll be awarding my very own Bodhi Kindness Certificates to children who show real kindness, care and thoughtfulness towards others. I’ll be keeping a close eye out 👀🐾

Love,Bodhi 🐶

Hey Bodhi,

It was lovely to meet you properly! And don’t worry – lots of us get a bit nervous about meeting new people – especially ones called Kat who smell like they have been talking to a cat! 🐈🫢

I think you were a very Good Boy indeed, who does the best snuggly cuddles and has clearly been working hard at remembering kind paws and a gentle mouth.

Hope you have a lovely half term break with lots of good smells to sniff and plenty of carrots!🥕🥕🥕Computer Kat 🐱

The PAWs team came to visit Bodhi…

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

Bodhi’s Big Walk

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

Bodhi’s thoughts on finding, and on snoozing…

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

A thank you from 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
