Today we had a socially distanced walking quiz at Weston Park. We all split into small groups and enjoyed looking round the park, answering the questions and feeding the ducks and pigeons!

We had our first socially distanced outing this week with a customised walking quiz. Small groups of 2-4 people explored the Sheffield Botanical Gardens together maintaining social distancing. It was lovely to see both staff and students enjoying themselves. We hope to be able to organise similar activities outdoors during August and September. If you are a Learn for Life student who would like to come on an outing please send us an email to: info@learnforlifeenterprise.com and look out for updates on the Facebook and Whatsapp group.

Thank you to everyone who came down to Art as a Second Language at Weston Park Museum on Thursday. We all had a fascinating time at the Museum and enjoyed studying the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Doll Houses Collection which gave us insight in to British social history. We then set off to the North Pole and met Snowy the Polar Bear.
