Interview worries!

[lydia]

I have an interview next week. 10 min interview in the morning and if i get through that have to go bac in the PM to teach a 15 min numeracy lesson to rec. I have a few plans but just wondered if anyone had any lessons they feel go down well? Its my first interview and im soooo nervous! Thank u! x

How about counting? Sing a counting song and do a short activity relating to this. My friend had a lesson similiar and she used 10 green bottles. The children then had a bottle on their back (with a number on it) and the children had to try and help the child know which number was on their back.

For eg if they had 5 on their back, they could say it is one more than 4!

She got the job and it worked well!

Good luck! x x

Thanks so much for the help, have a day off tommorow so all day to decide! xx

of 10 green bottles also, I often do this song as a warm up before the lesson with little uns. I choose 10 chn that are sitting well on the carpet and they are the bottles, they usually love it as they count down with me. I like the

about a child having a bottle on their back also as it allows the chn to get quite involved and hopefully work together.

Good luck with it. The only obvious thing that I will say is try to have the chn not sitting for too long as they struggle at this age.

At the moment there are quite a few jobs around, although mainly maternity cover. The dilemma is that if you go for one and the closing date for the others (longer positions are later) you may miss out on the best opportunity. But then again if you are successful with the earlier shorter term post you may have not been for the later ones
