Sheffield Children's University

We deliver a range of exciting activities and events together with Learning Destinations. The events take place throughout the year in Sheffield.

At these events children and young people can: 

• take part
• learn something new, and
• earn learning credits for their Passport to Learning

Holiday Activity Newsletter

We produce a newsletter for each school holiday, which includes activity information from some of our Learning Destinations.

Forest Schools

We run Forest School-type activities and programmes to children in their schools.  We can deliver tailored sessions for school staff as well as groups of pupils.

Activities include:

• den building
• tree climbing
• team games
• environmental education
• craft activities
• cooking on an open fire
• using tools (such as bow saws, hand drills, knives)
• woodwork and crafting items (such as kazoos, benches and medallions)

Research has demonstrated the benefits of repeated visits to the same woodland site.

It supports the development of:

• self-confidence
• motivation
• concentration
• sound social and emotional skills
• and fosters a love of the outdoors
