Disco Success!

Together, we raised £690.00! Big events like this build special school memories while helping to fund school projects, equipment and extra resources for our children.

Thoughts from Friends of Fishergate

We’ve reached the halfway point of the term! We hope you all have a refreshing break. There’s plenty more in the works, but for now, a heartfelt thank you to all families, teachers and staff! Your incredible support has made it possible for us to hold bake sales, uniform stalls, the Christmas design project, disco and pumpkin contest. What a busy time we’ve had!

We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to our wonderful helpers. Without you our school events simply wouldn’t be possible. Our dedicated team at Friends of Fishergate works tirelessly behind the scenes and are the friendly faces you often see supporting our activities. To the parents who volunteer for face painting, washing cups for squash drinks, DJing, sharing classroom WhatsApp reminders, and much more, thank you again! To all parents: please share your thoughts, we always welcome feedback, get in touch at friendsoffishergateschool@gmail.com.Friends of Fishergate

Big Wags from Bodhi!

Woof hello, everyone! 🐶

I’ve had such a pawsome time walking with you along the river this week! The leaves are crunchy, the air smells amazing, and there are so many exciting things to see (and sniff!).

I love it when we walk together — you talk to me, walk so nicely, and you’re brilliant at being calm and kind.

Remember, a little walk and some fresh air can make you feel wag-tastic inside! Big wags,Bodhi

Applications can still be made after this date, but may be looked at after other applications have been considered.

Bodhi’s Latest News

Bodhi has enjoyed having some company on his lunchtime walks and is looking forward to the arrival of a double handled lead so that the children can have a go at holding him alongside me (if they want to!) It is also a great chance for me to have a good chat with a few children at a time and to find out about what they have been getting up to.

He has also been working alongside two small groups of children on the field and amazing us all with his skills. The places where the children are hiding the ball for him to find are getting harder and harder but, with their help, he is doing brilliantly!

Waggy-tailed News…

Bodhi had his second PAWs visit on Thursday and he did brilliantly. Rachel could see how happy and comfortable he was in school and gave us some top tips to help with his barking, although it has already got so much better!

It is such a privilege to be taught by someone who is such an expert in their field and Lisa, Dani and I are learning so much! She taught us a scent game that he loved and which he will be able to play with children.
