Greyfriar’s BobbyFrom Scotland comes the true story of a little dog called ‘Bobby’.
Many years ago, a shepherd named Jock Gray tended his sheep in the hills beyond Edinburgh (Ed-in-burra). Every day, at one o’clock, Jock made his way to the local inn with his little dog, Bobby. While Jock ate his lunch, the little terrier chewed on a bone at his feet.
This went on for many years, until one day, old Jock died. His faithful little dog watched as they buried his master in Greyfriar’s churchyard.
A few days later, Bobby arrived at the inn at exactly one o’clock and begged for a bone. The innkeeper felt sorry for him and gave him a bun and a bone. This happened the next day and the next. On the fourth day, the innkeeper followed the little dog through the town to the churchyard. There the little dog lay down on his master’s tombstone.
For the next fourteen years, day and night, rain or shine, Bobby lived on top of his master’s grave. He only left the grave to visit the innkeeper and the sexton, who had built a shelter for him at the churchyard.
Over those years many people came to see the faithful little dog lying on his master’s grave. He became known as Greyfriar’s Bobby. When he died, the townspeople buried him beside his master and erected a statue in his honour. Bobby still stands watch over his master’s grave to this very day.

Behind the old farmhouse stands a tall windmill, sails whirling in the strong breeze. It pumps water from deep below the ground sending it spurting and gushing into a rusty, old tank.
One afternoon, Bill and Stan go out to the windmill paddock to kick the football. “Let’s see who can hit the tank stand first,” challenges Bill. Stan nods and places the ball on a small mound of soil. He takes a long run-up and kicks the ball hard.
High into the air it goes, straight as an arrow. It passes high above the tank stand. “Oh no,” groans Stan as the ball hits the sails of the windmill with a loud thud. The sails send the ball spinning like a leaf in the wind into the paddock beyond.
“Did you have to kick it so hard!” grumbles Bill. “Now you’ll have to go and fetch it.”
Reluctantly, Stan crawls under the wire fence. He combs through the long grass until, quite suddenly, he spots the football in a patch of thistles. “Just my luck!” he grumbles, picking his way gingerly towards the ball. He holds it up in disbelief. It has been sliced almost in two and is flat as a pancake. “Bill’s gonna kill me!” he mutters.
Suddenly, there is a roar behind him. A black bull is thundering towards him. Stan takes off at speed towards the windmill paddock. He can hear Bill shouting encouragement. The bull is right on his heels. He turns and throws the ball. It glances off the bull’s horns. The bull hesitates. Stan grabs his chance and dives under the fence. The wire rips the seat of his pants as Bill hauls him upright on the other side of the fence. The bull comes to a halt, snorting and bellowing.
Bill eyes Stan up and down, taking in the scratches on his hands and the blood on his legs.
“Well, you look like you’ve had fun!” he quips.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?Continue the story in your own words.
Following the winding path through the serene forest, the sun began to set, and the sky lit up with brilliant shades of purple and pink.
As the family approached their house, they noticed the front door was wide open. Father Bear wanted to protect his family, so he stepped ahead of them and went to look inside the house. What he discovered made him sad. Someone had been in the house and broken their three chairs! Father Bear, Mother Bear and Baby Bear’s special chairs were broken and lay in pieces on the floor.
“What are we going to do?” said Baby Bear. “Where will we sit?”

Year 3 Art Week 5
Project: Olympic Rings Abstract Art If you don’t have a roll of sticky tape use lids from containers & replace crayons & watercolours with coloured pencils to add colour to your artwork. 1. Use the packing tape to trace three circles toward the top centre of your paper. Use your pinky
finger to space out the rings. Trace the inside and outside of the tape roll. There are 3 rings on the top and 2 rings on the bottom.
2. Underneath the first two rings, place the tape roll so it is overlapping the rings and trace the tape
roll. Move the roll so it overlaps the middle and last ring and trace it. 3. Use the Sharpie to draw 5-7 gently curving lines that overlap the rings and some overlapping each
other.
4. Use crayons to colour in the rings, pay close attention to the placement of the colours.
5. Using watercolours, paint each shape with a different colour.
