Sheffield Passports to Learning go GLOBAL!

Wow! What a wonderful summer of Passport to Learning activities we've had! Sheffield children and young people have taken their Passports far and wide, to Sea Life Centres, castles, museums, factories, forests, and even marine centres from up and down the country.
We held two competitions over the summer, encouraging Passport to Learning holders from Sheffield to get out there and explore the fascinating, exciting and inspiring learning opportunities across the country and even further afield!

Children and young people were asked to send in a picture of themselves with their Passport to Learning at a Learning Destination BEYOND Sheffield.  We had a brilliant response and after some very difficult judging, we are proud to announce the winner!

Libby and her Passport to Learning at the Yorkshire Museum, York


Libby sent us this great picture of her at the Yorkshire Museum in York!  She said she learnt about the Romans, dinosaurs and 'the old days' on her visit, and the best part was holding an owl!  Well done Libby!  A special Sheffield CU goody bag will be winging its way to you!

Our second competition asked for photos of Passports which had been taken to Learning Destinations and the winner would be for the Passport which had travelled the furthest.  We had many entries from children who had visited Learning Destinations in London, York, Hull, Doncaster, Cheshire, Derbyshire, and the list goes on...

However, the outright winner of the competition was (drumroll please!)...

Max in his taekwondo uniform in AUSTRALIA!

...Max!  He visited Australia where he took park in a taekwondo training session on the beach with his Learning Destination - Yong Gi Tae Kwon Do.  We're certain this was the furthest from our office in Sheffield!  Max said 'I completed an hour of taekwondo, practising my patterns and learning my new green belt pattern for my next grading.  The best thing was doing taekwondo in a different country and learning new steps'.  Well done Max - a CU goody bag is on it's way to you too.

Well done to all our children and young people for collecting so many credits at Learning Destinations throughout the summer.  Well done to all the parents, carers and families who made the extra effort to visit exciting learning activities outside of Sheffield   We hope you had a great time.

DON'T FORGET: If you visit a Learning Detsination outside of Sheffield, you MUST complete and return a Diary Sheet (www.sheffield.gov.uk/cu) so we can award your credits.
