Damn you!
I'm still not finished with it...and I am finding this one tricky.
I don't know why. I can't seem to write it as well as I'd like. Can't seem to get the information to fit very well.
And as for adding the content to get the objectives...hmph.
It's due on the 1st...I'm tired. It's not as if I've been putting this essay off either. I've been working at it for most of last week...noting bits down...reading information...trying to fit things together. For some reason, it's the 'learning support' bit that is troubling me.
I think I have become very conscious of trying to get those learning objectives in there...I want to pass this thing!!!
Okay...I'm going to try getting a bit more done...although a headache is coming on (again) :-\
Bed time soon...long day of work tomorrow...then more of TMA 02!
Yay...!

The Start of TMA 02
So...the week of the assignment/essay. Oh joy!
I've watched the same clip far too many times now. I think I'll be dreaming about it at this rate!
I hope I can do this essay.
The first part is pretty simple...describing what is happening in the clips.
Its making sure that I add in theories or information from my study topics that might prove a bit trickier. Fingers crossed we can get there.
I am going to get this very first 'rough draft' done this evening. It'll give me something to go on tomorrow.
It's coming up to Christmas, so the 'social life' (as such...) like Christmas shopping and seeing people, not to mention working, is taking up a fair bit of time; leaving less time for the studying.
Well, as long as I get it off for next week, we should be okay!
Here we go...!

Study Topic 4...and 5!
So, I have now completed Study Topic 4 and started Study Topic 5.
Finding some of the activities quite easy to complete. Some of the reading though, is a little boring...or takes a while to get into.
This week, I hope to complete Study Topic 5 and start TMA 2. Need to get that done by the 1st Dec....no problem! Lol.
I'm also doing part of TMA 3...mad as it may sound, Christmas can be a busy time at the school I help at...so it was easier to get the task done sooner rather than later. I'm looking forward to running my own activity. I've had great fun planning it. Just got to make sure I get all the notes down I need to.
Busy busy week coming up me thinks!

Study Topic 3...Completed!
Hello readers...if anyone actually reads this thing lol.
So, I should be receiving my result for my assignment this week...ahhh! But no time to think about that just yet...there are 2 more topics to study through before the next TMA. I've just finished Study Topic 3...which was actually....good. I like learning about new theories and I like psychology, so this was just up my street. Different theories of learning = awesome :) haha.
I think I might even start the next topic. I want to get ahead...with Christmas coming up, the class are going to be busy, and I have a few observations and group work to plan and complete. This workload is not going to get any easier.
I have Crispy m&m's....so it's not so bad :)
Ttfn!

TMA 01 Submitted
So, the first TMA was posted off today. Now we play the waiting game to see how I've done. Although, last night as I drifted off to sleep, thinking about my essay for some random realised that I may have missed something out of my essay, and possibly not got a long reference quite right. The TMA was already sealed in it's envelop, so it was too late to change anything. Fingers crossed I've still done ok. I feel slightly better knowing that I had asked my tutor about the referencing, and this particular reference she was not 100% sure on either.
Now for a day off of studying before I start Study Topic 3!

TMA 01
Okay...So I am going to attempt to blog about my next Open University course that I have just started.
It is E111 - Supporting Learning in Primary Schools.
I have already completed 3 courses: DD101 - Introduction to the Social Sciences, Y165 - Learning to Change and Y156 - Understanding Children.
I have started this course as I enjoy working with children and wish to continue with this...maybe even becoming a teacher. I'm currently volunteering at a local infants' school, which is brilliant.
So... the first TMA...I'm currently working on it as we speak, and I need to get it posted tomorrow in order for it to arrive at my tutor's front door by 27/10...Eeeek!!! For section 1, I'm under the word limit, for section 2 I'm just about there and now I am about to finish off section 3. Once that's done I need to try and sort out this referencing business...not that I have many references at all. That's be a bit difficult considering the essay's had to be written in the first person and is discussing my experiences!
Oh well.
Will blog soon!!! :)
