Below are 10 ideas to get the most out of it, and to try lots of different experiences.
1. Set a goal
To get started it is a good idea to set a
target for how many hours you should
aim to earn by the end of term. This
will get you motivated to try different
activities, sign up to new clubs and
visit Learning Destinations.
2. Discover all the Learning
Destinations across Norfolk

to find a comprehensive list of all the
Learning Destinations across Norfolk.

various ways in which children can
earn stamps: taking part in reading
challenges, completing activity sheets
and attending workshops. For more

5. Join your local Guides or
Scouting Groups

participate in a wide range of activities
is to join your local Guides and Scouts.
You can earn stamps by completing
skills badges and participating in
learning activities during weekly
meetings.
4. Visit a museum

Using your Passport to Learning you
can earn stamps and gain free
entrance to 9 museums, including: The
Bridewell, Norwich Castle, Time & Tide

Activity Challenges
During the school holidays the Norfolk
CU team create activity sheets to keep
children learning. The challenges can
be easily completed at home and each
activity earns a stamp. Challenges
Include lots of fun ideas such as,
baking, collecting and creating
collages, researching historical figures
and many more.
