My name is Carina Pieters and I'm 23 years old,turning 24 later this year.

I am an intern at a Primary School and I am loving every minute of it and we learn so much from all the teachers.

I have not been able to put as much in my studies this week as I would have liked as it has been a busy week and the week following will be just as busy so I hope to be able to fit in some study time.

From SU1 I loved learning about all the different stages in the development of a child and how early in their lives they make associations with music and what a important rule it plays in their development.

The way that children can identify different emotions through music was very interesting for me and I hope to be able to pay more attention on this one day in my class.

I also found it interesting that we can't understand  a child's learning needs and development without taking their socials environment and social factors that have an influence on in into consideration. I hope I will be able to see and understand all these influence and pay more individual attention regarding this on my learners and adapt accordingly.
