Iâve 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 â you talk to me, walk so nicely, and youâre brilliant at being calm and kind.
Remember, a little walk and some fresh air can make you feel wag-tastic inside! Big wags,Bodhi

The 31st October, which is the closing date for secondary school applications, is fast approaching! Have you remembered to complete and submit an application for your childâs secondary school place in September 2026?
Please note that applying early does not give any priority but to have the best chance of your application being successful, and getting a place at your choice of school, you should complete and submit your application by the deadline. Applications can still be made after this date, but may be looked at after other applications have been considered.

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!

Bake sale review
Monday’s bake sale raised a fantastic ÂŁ72.20 and was beautifully stocked with loads of homemade goodies! Well done on the professional-looking bakes, Year 3/4 Families! Thank you to all who stopped by for a treat! Friends of Fishergate
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.
