Sheffield CU Challenges - what to expect!

As schools have now closed to all pupils other than those of key workers, we know some of our school staff and families will be feeling more than a little overwhelmed at the moment. But we also know that the children and young people of our city still need to be educated and entertained as well as reassured too and we, like many others, are here to help as much as we can.

We think learning should be challenging, rewarding and most of all, FUN. We'll be sharing some fun learning activities you and your family can do very VERY soon, but first, we wanted to provide some guidance on these brand new 'CU challenges' so you know what to expect, and importantly, know how your child can collect their CU credits for taking part too!

Sheffield CU Home Learning Challenges

We'll be creating and sharing some of our own challenges, which will be suitable for a range of ages and abilities as well as subject areas, and will all be FUN! At this time, we really want you to really focus on the quality of the learning you take part in for each activity, rather than the number of hours, so each challenge/activity will be worth 1, 2 or 3 CU credits in total. We will let you know how many CU credits you can collect for each challenge when it becomes available.

Signposted activities (from Learning Destinations & other providers)

We'll be sharing links to loads of other brilliant activities - some from our wonderful Learning
Destinations, and some from other activity providers. We think they all deserve CU credits, so these
activities will be worth 1 CU credit each

Claiming your credits

Fill in a Home Learning Challenge Reflection Sheet so you can think about and see all the wonderful things you've learned. We'll be sharing a link to this very soon. You are free to do each activity as many times as you like, but can only claim CU credits once per challenge. We also need you to send some evidence for each of your completed challenges too - perhaps a photo, video, scanned copy of some writing, etc. 

Email the reflection sheet and your evidence to cu@sheffield.gov.uk and we'll award your credits. Please wait until you've finished completing the challenges and send all your reflection sheets and evidence together!
