Year 3
Final Week
Hello everyone. For our final week of school, we would really like you to reflect on the work we have done this year and tell us what you most enjoyed. We would love to see what you remember and which were the BEST bits (topics, lessons, activities or incidents).
You could create a poster, write a recount, make a power-point, animate a scene, draw a comic strip...the more creative, the better.
So what are you waiting for. Get cracking and let us know what was the best bit of being in year 3. We can't wait to see your work.
Mr Mac and Mrs Humphris
Year 3 Project - Week 3
Well done again for all your hard work last week. We hope that you are really enjoying this topic and are finding out many interesting things about Sheldon.
As we only have two weeks remaining of the school year, this will be your last week to continue working on, and finish, your Sheldon project. Think about how you are going to present it.
Your suggested activities for this week:
- Now that you have looked at Sheldon both today and in the past, write a time-travelling adventure story
- Describe how Sheldon has changed over the years
- Compare the Sheldon of 100 years ago to the Sheldon of today
- Continue researching the history of Sheldon. Here are some useful websites:

Challenges!
Here are the answers to last week’s challenges. Did you manage to complete your ‘History Hunt’ in the old village of Sheldon?
There won’t be any challenges this week. Instead, we would like you to ask members of your family for their memories of Sheldon, if they grew up there. Do they have any old photographs they would like to share with us? It would be lovely to make a collection of Sheldon memories for everyone to look at when we return to school.
Here are some photographs of buildings that have changed, or sadly gone, from Sheldon over the years. Ask your family if they remember them!

Year 3 Project - Week 2
Thank you to everyone who has shared their lovely work from last week with us. We have really enjoyed your pictures and written work and can see that you have been working really hard – well done!
This week we would like you to travel back in time to understand what Sheldon used to be like over 100 years ago!
Look carefully at the maps below and read the information sheet which contains a very brief history of Sheldon.
Then think carefully about these questions:
- Can you find the road where you live now? Can you find Mapledene school?
- How would you describe the land use – is it mostly housing, shops, parkland or something else?
- Where did people work? What sort of jobs were there in Sheldon?
- Where do you think children went to school?
- How did people entertain themselves? What did they do to have fun?
Your suggested activities for this week:
- Imagine what Sheldon looked like all those years ago and produce either a drawing or a written description of it
- Imagine you lived in Sheldon and write a diary entry about the sort of things you might have done
- Create a timeline of how Sheldon developed over the years
- Continue your research into the history of Sheldon

Challenges!
Here are the answers to last week’s challenges – were you right?
For this week’s challenges, we would like you to go on a ‘History Hunt!’
Please go, if you can, to where the original village of Sheldon is, by St Giles church on Church Road. Can you spot the buildings that are in the pictures below? We will reveal the names of these buildings next week!
Happy History Hunting!!
Our new Year 3 project is all about… Sheldon!
We will be spending the remaining few weeks of Year 3 learning all about our local area – including some time-travelling to understand what Sheldon used to be like over a hundred years ago!
Mrs Humphris has lots of special memories of the area as she moved to Sheldon when she was just eighteen months old. She too went to Mapledene before moving on to what was then known as Sheldon Heath Comprehensive School (KESH Academy today). Over the next few weeks we would like you to ask members of your family if they have any special memories or photographs that they can share with us, if they grew up in Sheldon too.
Your suggested activities for this week are based upon Sheldon TODAY:
- Can you find the road where you live on the map of Sheldon below? (If you don’t live in Sheldon, can you find Mapledene school?)
- Draw your house or road, thinking about the types of buildings you can see
- Go for a walk around the area (with an adult) and sketch or take photographs of something that really interests you
- How would you describe the land use – is it mostly housing, shops, parkland or something else?
- Where do people work? What sort of jobs are there in Sheldon?
- On a map, plot your route to school
- Create a leaflet about Sheldon to persuade someone to come and visit the area – what interesting places can you include? Think about restaurants, parks, places to visit etc.
- Research the area - how many people live in Sheldon, do you think?
Challenges!
We have attached three photographs for you to look at… all of these buildings are very old but are still in Sheldon today. Do you recognise them? Where are they?

Whole school Project 15.6.20- Culture and Diversity
This week, in light of recent events in the world, and as a link to our new school motto, ‘Belong, Believe, Be you: Achieve’, we would like you to learn about, and celebrate, the cultural diversity that we have in Britain.
As usual, we encourage you to be as creative as you wish, whether it’s producing a report, a poster or art work, looking at recipes or learning songs/dances. There are many ways that you can enjoy learning about a new culture! We welcome any clips or videos of your children talking about or celebrating either their culture or one they have learned about (dancing, artwork, telling stories, clothing etc.) that can be included in this week’s Celebration Assembly on Friday. Please send to advice@mapledeneschool.com by 5pm on Wednesday 17th June.

Summer Week 5
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No...it’s the fabulous work of year 3!
This week, our optional Facebook theme is Superheroes. So Mrs Humphris and I would like you to take a break from volcanoes and think about superheroes instead (they could of course be volcano related superheroes!). During the course of the week we would love you to draw your own superheroes. You could take some tips from this YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF-wnzrVeB61cI31n5nh5n4mtvlprjAYS and try copying some pictures of other superheroes before you design your own. Then we would like you to create a fact file about your hero. What are their superpowers? How did they become a hero? Who is their nemesis (arch enemy) and what powers do they have? Do they have any weaknesses? Then write a story about your hero, this could be in the form of a comic strip. Maybe you could show their origin story. We would love to see your designs for superhero masks and outfits and we hope you have loads of fun! As part of this topic, you can watch some superhero movies for research and you could review the ones you enjoy the best. You could even create some Top Trump cards to solve the argument over who is the best superhero. You might even be able to tell us about some people That you know who you think are real life superheroes.
Dont forget to keep Doodling. Well done again 3W you are smashing it. Come on 3M we know you can beat them if you really try.
Below you will find the English and Maths activities for this week and a coding activity to keep you busy.
Happy homeschooling everyone. We can’t wait to see on Facebook or the school email (advice@mapledeneschool.com) all the great work you have fun creating and remember, the real superheroes are you and your parents for all the amazing work you’ve been doing and the brilliant attitude you all have to your work. Keep being amazing and keep smiling.

Keep it up
Great to hear about all the learning that you guys are doing at home. Get your parents or guardians to show us what you are achieving either by emailing or posting your great work on our Facebook page. I’m looking forward to hearing more about your successes every day. Today I watched Cohen reading a story which he has uploaded on to Facebook. Check it out if you can and maybe do one of your own. But it doesn’t have to be you reading, upload your pictures or football skills or dances or.... anything that you have enjoyed learning at home this week.
Have a restful weekend and check back here on Monday for further instructions.
Mr Mac and Mrs Humphris 👍
