Rainbow Day with 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 🌈🐶🌈

Bodhi’s Storytime and Reading Challenge!

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

Bodhi’s OPAL Challenge for the Children

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 🐾

A New Trick for a Young Dog!

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 🐾
