Planning your October half term fun?

The Sheffield Children's University Passport home learning activity newsletter for the October half term holiday is now available!

You can find the newsletter here: http://bit.ly/SCUOctPassportNewsletter

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting Government guidance, some of our Learning Destinations are not running as they normally would. However, many are delivering their activities in a different way, using platforms such as Zoom and Youtube which is great to see! Please do check with them directly about this as CU credits can still be earned by taking part in these activities (as normal, or virtually) and Learning Destinations will be sending us registers as usual. You can find a full list of all our Learning Destinations in the newsletter.

There are also links to our very own Sheffield CU home learning challenges! If you would like to take part in any of the challenges, we have collated details on them all into the newsletter. There is currently no time limit, and no order in which to do these so feel free to pick and chose as you like! 

With the libraries closed, we know its difficult to get a Sheffield CU Passport to Learning at the moment. We are really pleased to announce that you can now order these online from us directly!
Please click here and make sure you provide all details: https://bit.ly/SCUOrderPassporttoLearning

Passports will cost £4.50 (incl. postage). Due to restricted access to our offices at the moment, we will post these out as soon we have access, but please do bear with us as there is likely to be a delay! 

Celebrating our individual Passport to Learning members!

We have some exciting news to share, and what better day to share it than a Friday?!

First, a few questions... Does your child collect CU credits in your Passport to Learning at Learning Destinations across the city? Is their school not currently subscribed to Sheffield CU? If your answer is YES to both these questions, then please keep reading!!!

Each year in May and October, we welcome over 2000 of our individual Passport members to celebrate their achievements at one of our gold award ceremonies. Around these times, we also send any Bronze and Silver awards earned to home addresses.

During 2020, we haven’t been able to host our ceremonies as normal due to COVID restrictions and access to our offices has been strictly limited, meaning we have been unable to create award certificates as normal too.

We have had to think outside the box and whilst it's taken a little while to create something new, one thing is for certain - NOTHING stops us from celebrating our award winners, not even a pandemic! We are thrilled to announce that during October, we will host our first virtual award ceremony for our individual Passport members!

If your child collects CU credits using a Passport only (and doesn’t currently attend a CU school) and is eligible to receive one of our Gold awards for 100, 200, 300 hrs etc, you will soon be receiving a letter through the post inviting you and your child to take part in our special virtual ceremony experience! If your child is eligible to receive a Silver or Bronze award at this time, these will also be created and sent next month.

ALL the information you need is on your invitation letter, so please read it VERY carefully and make sure you email us by the deadline of Friday 23rd October to take part!

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!!! 🥳🤩🎈🎊🎓
