Bodhi went to another assembly!

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

Rescheduled KS1 Christmas Performances

Dear Parents/Carers,

Unfortunately, we have had to take the decision to postpone the KS1 Christmas Shows, which were due to take place on Tuesday 9th December at 9.30am and Wednesday 10th December at 1.30pm. Due to the huge amount of illness in KS1 this week, it has been impossible for children to practice the show in full and at this stage it’s unlikely that we’ll have all the children back to practice or to perform for next week.

The shows will now take place at exactly the same times the following week, which are Tuesday 16th December at 9.30am and Wednesday 17th December at 1.30pm.

All tickets which parents have previously received for the shows will now be valid for these dates instead.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing you all on the 16th and 17th.

Warmest RegardsKS1 Team

Bodhi’s first assembly with Y5/6

Hello everyone!

It’s Bodhi here with my weekly update. This week I went to my very first Year 5/6 assembly. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but one of my lovely Year 5 friends sat beside me the whole time to help me feel calm and confident. I tried my best to listen carefully and sit nicely—although I might have wagged my tail a bit too loudly!

Tina said she thinks the children were paying more attention to me than to her, but I promise I wasn’t trying to steal the show. I just can’t help being adorable.

I’m looking forward to more adventures around school next week. Until then—big wags and happy paws!Bodhi

Bodhi discovers Autumn – and snow!

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
