hi all, am just wondering if there are many of you who have just completed any of the level 6 childcare components or are currently doing so. If so maybe we could pass on any advice or any tips we could use as part of our assignments..... i am currently doing social & legal .....

Hey guys
I'm doing level 6 full time at the moment. How are ye finding it? I have 3 assignments due in the next 7 weeks( will have another 2 on top of that but we haven't got them yet)
There is a lot of work but I'm enjoying the content so far!

ayumi · 16-10-2011, 13:20

yea same here,Im finding it interesting but at the same time there is soo much to do and to learn!
I really didnt get into the social and legal module so much in it and the assignment which we are doing in parts is difficult to do! and I love start your own business module it lets you forget about the other modules.We are doing it in groups and we have to give out questionnaires at the moment.Also in drama (performance art) im not getting into as we just got the assignment of making your own lesson plan but were doing it in groups as well.
Well thats what we have now but Im enjoying it !
where you doing the level 6?

happydays5 · 16-10-2011, 23:11

hi all, i am only doing level 6 on a part time basis so one night a week for 2 and half hours (social and legal at moment) but to be honest i'm finding it hard going - are all our assignments the same (as in the subject of each assignment which we have to work from?) i have found a few good websites to use for research..... i can pass on my info if anyone would like? one of our assignments is about the baby ann case....

ayumi · 17-10-2011, 00:14

are you talking about the case of abuse as it describes on the fetac website because its one of 2 assignment and a project for social and legal but were doing the project at the moment in parts so to get it done by chirstmas
Im finding this subject hard but other modules are okaish!

ayumi · 22-10-2011, 20:55

im doing at the moment legal and social framework and im lookin for the national childcare strategy online but there is nothing explaining what is and how is it was set up! can anyone help?

Captain Pillowcase · 23-10-2011, 21:42

Hi Ayumi,

Look up this link it might help, http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/Childc...Childcare1.pdf this might help with the national development plan.

You also want to check out www.omc.gov.ie and look up the diversty and equality in childcare pdf on this site, it's more current and it's the new guidelines.

Basically the development plan was the basis for Aistear etc, it followed the 1996 regulations and has formed childcare as we know it today.

For Aistear you can get this online at www.aistear.ie, and Siolta is www.siolta.ie you might want to look up the white paper for early years education.

Hope it helps = ]

ayumi · 24-10-2011, 00:03

in the assignment you have three developments in three departments ,
first one is the national childrens strategy
then the national childcare strategy
then the white paper which formed siolta and aistear.
Im having a problem understanding why the childcare strategy was set up but its okay I will try my best at it with the online resources and sheets.

ayumi · 27-10-2011, 23:36

hows anyone doing the level 6 with 7 weeks done?

i havent seen many reply to this thread sooo where are level 6 childcare students?

noanoa · 01-11-2011, 13:03

Hi everyone,

Just wondering can I join in? Im nearly finished. I have 2 social and legal assignments to which I am finding very hard, I just cant get my head around them for some reason. I did my case study and that was fine.
I Have completed everything else but that does not mean ill get some back after my tutor reviews them.
I did enjoy this course when I was in the classroom found it very interesting but think there is a lot of work to do in a small time frame. Some days i just wanted to drop out as I got so stressed!!
