CU LIVE! - Fun in the Winter Garden

We had a fantastic October half term in the Winter Garden, where a number of free CU LIVE! activities took place. For those who don't already know, our CU LIVE! programme aims to provide free fun learning experiences for the family across the city.

Our friends from Imagination Gaming, Sheffield Volunteering and Museums Sheffield provided a number of fantastic activities for all the family to take part in during the week. On Monday, Weston Park Museum were encouraging children and families to think about and draw what they would like to see in Sheffield as part of the 'It’s Our World’ big draw art activity project.

On Tuesday a number of student societies including the Baking society, Science Brainwaves, Singapore Society, Law Society and Unicef showcased some of their activities. Children and young people took the DNA of strawberries, built their own pathogens (e coli, bread mould) out of plasticine and pipe cleaners, decorated biscuits, made chinese lanterns, cut out chinese characters and learnt to use chopsticks.

Wednesday saw Imagination Gaming hosting a gaming session, with children and their families playing a number of board, card and strategy game, including some brand new releases.

Finally on Thursday, Museum Sheffield were back making bats and pumpkin and monster face masks just in time for Halloween!

Children and young people who took part in these activities and brought along with Passport to Learning collected CU credits. There will be more CU LIVE! activities taking place soon - watch this space!
