Calling teachers - interview/ lesson obs

Hi,

Not sure if this the right place to post this but I am looking for some advice! I have secured an interview and I have to teach two lessons lasting 15 minutes each. I'll be teaching a Reception class.

First is a phonics session and I'm thinking a quick I Spy game with a selection of real objects to gage what sounds they know, then moving onto a game with a sound robot where each child receives a sound and feeds the robot and finally getting a puppet out to do some sound talking.

Second is a shape, space and measure activity of my choice with a small group of EAL children. I'm thinking of a shape hunt with a shape spotter (shape cut out of card to help with recognition) and then a shape sorting game in a tuff spot where children find a shape and feed it to a monster. Obviously I will be doing a lot of language reinforcement for this group.

What do you think?
Thanks :)

I think possibly just one activity for each session as getting reception classes organised to do 2 in that short a space will be like herding cats.

I would go with the robot one as that I would think is more suitable for all abilities whereas the i-spy one is a bit ambitious for children who have been at school for less than a month.
