Passport Activity Newsletter Passport Activity Newsletter Spring 2019 Welcome to our Spring edition of our Sheffield CU Passport Activity Newsletter. In here you’ll find lots of activities taking place across the city in the school holidays – and if your child has a Passport to Learning, they’ll be able to earn CU credits for taking part in all of them! Some of the activities are FREE while some will need to be paid for, and some require booking in advance. We would always recommend contacting the Learning Destination before making a special journey to join them, and you can find contact details of ALL of our Learning Destinations on the table at the back of this newsletter. To collect these credits at these and other activities, children/young people must attend a SHEFFIELD school and they need a Passport to Learning. These cost £3.50 and are available to purchase at Sheffield libraries and some Learning Destinations. The credits lead to awards at these levels… 30 credits – Bronze 65 credits – Silver 100 credits – Gold …and at those intervals up to 1000 hours, so 30 awards in total! REMEMBER: to make sure you are awarded the credits you have earned, the Learning Destinations in Sheffield MUST put your details on a register AND they send that register into us! If they don’t, we won’t know where you have visited and can’t award your credits, so make sure you ask for the CU register! It takes us a little time to input all the credits so thank you for your patience. 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! 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! Find Learning Destinations in Sheffield (www.sheffield.gov.uk/cu) and beyond at www.childrensuniversity.co.uk If you would like to join our Parent/Carer Mailing list to receive updates, activity information and news, please email [email protected] Act One Summer Drama Camps 29th July - 2nd August 2019 10-3pm each day 4-7s & 8-12s Ecclesall Parish Halls, S11 7PP £25 for Monday taster day £90 for the week Breakfast & late pick up clubs available A week full of drama for all children who love to perform.

  • Staff 'Face Misery' As Sheffield City Trust Plan to Axe Hundreds More Jobs
    Staff 'face misery’ as Sheffield City Trust plan to axe hundreds more jobs 01 Sep 2020 Union says lowest-paid staff shoulder the biggest burden of ‘unfair’ proposals after 79 redundancies at Sheffield Arena and Sheffield City Hall GMB union says a further 200 jobs are at risk at Sheffield City Trust under unfair proposals which have already seen 79 redundancy formal notices issued in the city. Redundancy notices have already been issued across the Trust - including 38 at Sheffield Arena and 41 at Sheffield City Hall. Further plans see more than 200 jobs at risk at sports and leisure venues including Ponds Forge, Ice Sheffield and leisure centres across the city. GMB said it was unfair that the lowest-paid staff were being targeted for redundancy. Only one senior Head of Service post has been subject to “at risk” status. Those staff put on notice could be put at a disadvantage for any potential redeployment across the business after the option to consult with unions across all affected workplaces was not taken up by the Trust, the union warned, adding to calls to extend the consultation period. Sheffield City Trust had informed GMB that they do not have any money in reserves, despite Sheffield City Council making a £15m subsidy available to the Trust just last month. GMB will now campaign along with Sheffield Trades Council and community groups to protect jobs and ensure that the venues open safely for the public to use. Lee Parkinson, GMB Organiser said: “The business model used by Sheffield City Trust has failed our members and the residents of Sheffield.

  • Bickley & Corrall (2011) E-Print
    Corrected pre-print, February 2011 Accepted for Reference Services Review, 39 (2) Student perceptions of staff in the Information Commons: a survey at the University of Sheffield Rachel Bickley Library Services, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK Sheila Corrall Information School, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK Abstract Purpose – Technology has transformed teaching and learning environments in tertiary education, introducing new collaborative library spaces and developing the roles and skills of library staff. Academic libraries need continually to re-examine their services to ensure they meet student needs. The current survey aimed to discover how students perceived staff in the Information Commons (IC) and whether their perceptions of staff attitudes and skills influenced their use of library resources. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire containing closed and open questions was distributed electronically to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Sheffield, obtaining 250 responses (c1% of the student population). Findings – The results showed that most students were unable to distinguish different groups of staff, were unaware of their departmental librarian and did not recognise the academic role of librarians. However, those who had sought assistance in the IC or attended classes delivered by librarians had positive views of their experiences. Research limitations – The timing and fixed duration of the study limited the size and nature of the sample, the generalizability of the findings and depth of the investigation, but sufficient data were collected to establish patterns of behaviour and identify important factors. Practical implications – Low awareness among students of the expertise of librarians and their capacity to provide academic support indicates a need for more promotion to ensure library resources are properly utilised.
