HELP!!!!
I have an interview this thursday, and I am fresh out of ideas!
The remit I have been given says that I will need to teach a whole class of reception children for 15 mins, within the subject area of communication, language and literacy.

The only things I have thought of so far are either some kind of phonics game or a story related activity.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Please!
