HappyMaz Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Congratulations! It will be hard work, and you'll learn so much (about yourself as much as anything!) and I can honestly say that whilst you might not enjoy it all the time, you will look back on it and think it was very worthwhile. Enjoy your studies! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosepetal Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Well done on getting through and good luck for the future. Hi Helen, This is going to sound very dumb of me but i am not quite sure what the Blogs are or how to use them Rosepetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hi Rosepetal - Blogs are just really like online diaries. You can make them available for others to read or keep them private. Have a look in the blogs area at, for example Sue Rs diary of how she worked to implement a non-topic based project at her nursery. You need to set up your blog (which you can do from 'My Controls' on the green bar at the top of this page), and you can make it elaborate if you like (with different categories, eg Personal, Foundation Degree, etc) or leave it at the bare bones. You can add little content boxes at the sides of the page, and do all sorts of things. They're not used a huge amount on the FSF, but could be a good way for you to record your experiences.

Sue R Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Good luck to you, And yes, Blogs are really easy! Also really good for allowing you to look back and be reflective - unfortunately right now I have no time to sort mine - sorry, just too busy!! Steve - are there really so many ways and fol-de-rols?? I must explore more.....! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have almost finished my first year and can honestly say it has been a wonderful life journey and can't wait for the second year. Enjoy it and get used to burnt dinners, messy house, piles of washing and late nights. Net xx :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really interested in doing the foundation degree but have no idea what's involved or where it can take place, or cost or anything.... do you have to do it aint university or is it a college thing? plsss help me!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Whereabouts in the country are you Helen? Do you have any colleges near you? It's fairly certain that they will be running the course if you do - try them as your first port of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 i'm from southampton and yes i have many college's around me but i havnt heard of any doing foundation degree's before its usually the university's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 If you are near Southampton I know that Brockenhurst College offer the Degree in two years and Bournemouth Uni offer it over 3 years. Try their websites. I did it the long way with the OU and it has taken 4 years but I have now finished and awaiting result. As far as I know it is still a fully funded course and the colleges/Uni should have funding details. Good luck Teri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hello I'm from in Southampton and I have been accepted by Winchester Universty for the foundation degree starting in september - I will be attending for 17 Thursday's in the year. I went for Winchester as I decided they have been offering the course for several years now and have it well set up + you can continue there for teacher status or EYPS. my setting is in Hampshire so I have applied to them for funding. I also know you can do it at Eastleigh College and Tauntons, but you attend every week (Eastleigh is 1pm - 5pm). It depends on your personal circumstances and they are different Foundation degrees - I'm doing Childhood Studies. If you go on the Winchester Uni web site there are more details or send me a personal message and I will give you the course admisitrators's details. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cathy m Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hi Helen I've just completed the foundation degree via the OU. It worked for me as it meant I could continue working and study via distance learning. Many people have been able to get funding through their early years service Good luck Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
