Passport Activity Newsletter February 2018 There are lots of fun and exciting activities taking place outside of normal school hours in different places across Sheffield and beyond where children and young people can collect CU credits. These credits will be added to the ones some children collect in some schools to earn Children’s University Awards. To collect these credits, they need a Passport to Learning. These cost £3.50 and are available to purchase at Sheffield libraries and some Learning Destinations. Remember, the credits lead to awards right up to 1000 hours! 30 credits – Bronze 65 credits – Silver 100 credits – Gold …and at those intervals up to 1000 hours, so 30 awards in total! Do you have your Children’s University Passport to learning yet? If the answer is yes, then that’s great news! BUT, to make sure you are awarded the credits you have earned, the Learning Destinations in Sheffield MUST put your details on a register AND send that register into us! If they don’t, we won’t know where you have visited and can’t award your credits. It might be that their staff are really busy and they’ve forgotten, or they might be new to the organisation and just don’t know that we need the register. So, every time you visit a SHEFFIELD Learning Destination, remind them to keep a register AND send it into us! Remember, if there’s no register, it means no credits! They can always contact us for help and we can visit them to explain the process if we need to. Don’t forget, if you visit a Learning Destination outside of Sheffield, you need to download a diary sheet from our website (or use the one attached to the back of this newsletter!) and send it in to make sure your credits are counted! The great news is that there are loads of you (15,000+) running around Sheffield (and beyond) collecting credits in your Passports to Learning! This means that we are busy in the office inputting all the numbers from the registers ready to produce your certificates! They WILL be given to you, but it takes us a little time to write them all so thank you for being patient. Details of all our Learning Destinations can be found later in this newsletter too or keep visiting our website as this list grows all the time – www.sheffield.gov.uk/CU or email us on [email protected]. If you know of a local club or group, just let us know via our website and we’ll invite them to join CU for FREE! *please note: we advise you contact the Learning Destinations first to check details of events and activities.
