I want Dexter to beat the odds... don't dislike Gina as much as the rest but I reckon Sophie has it all to lose

Sod Pot

I just Eid Murbarak to all

Just sneezed so I wouldn't bank on it

Don't think so Nate. Obviously we always have a 'supervisor' to sign off our activity plans, observations and reports though Our tutors sign off our assignments but they also get moderated & sent off to the exam board. Plus we have a placement tutor who comes to see us do an activity plan within our class etc.

LOL Nate I don't think one sneeze/sneezing fit means you're going to get sick again. I've just started sneezing, probably because of the pollen & the fact I've not taken any hayfever medication all week

She will never know it's Eid unless I tell her

Do you get a qts at the end loops?

No as I'm not doing a teaching degree or PCGE.

However I already have 'qualified' status from my level 3 diploma So I could have gone straight into working with babies - 16 years in most roles.

Ahh I understand!!

You're welcome I'm basically doing the new Early Years degree according to my friend

It's called Advanced Practice of Work with Children & Families HND.

cool, you on your hols at the moment, when do you go back?

Starting back on Monday 9th September. Can't wait I don't do so well without a routine. So my sleeping patterns are out of whack but trying to be out the house at least once a week atm Been looking & applying for jobs but no such luck atm

don't stop looking you'll get there!! My sleeping patterns all over the place C sleep get up sleep get up lol

That's one loooong break!

I hope you at least have assignments to do

Try an agency Loopy... sadly they provide the best way of getting work in the short term

my holidays were crazier then that nate I used to finish end of may and start late october now those were crazy holidays, but I worked all summer so didn't really get a break!!

I won't


It is indeed, will have been 9 & a half weeks once I return I've worked out & nope, no assignments Proper universities usually get even longer than I have

Yup. When I went to my first university, I broke up at the end of May or was first few days of June and had I returned there, I would have been off til the last week of September or the first week in Oct

Yeah, we get some good casual worker in-between coursework... always a shame to see them go

you not due a break nate?

Oh yes... been off ill recently though so still need to catch up

All these students at least means Steam is busy!

Don't make them work too hard

Last woman standing again

Morning Miners

Morning all! Just had a thunderous downpour here and now cool damp air is flowing into the house, so lovely I slept fine despite the heat, but then not much puts me off of kip

I shall give the place a nice pre-teapot cleaning today!
