I have been called back for an interview for a learning support assistant (yay!
), they have asked me to deliver a 10 minute number or counting activity for 5 mixed ability children within foundation stage 2 class.
Thankfully i am near the end of an apprenticeship scheme that is working with that age but in another school setting. I have come up with some ideas but am unsure of how much i have to put into this. At the moment i have made copies of number lines and i am making some fish(with numbers on) for the children to 'catch', recognise and then show the jumps on the number line. I thought that if the progress they can then write the number sequences but if they find it difficult they can use objects as aids. And as i am excited i even thought i could sing "1,2,3,4,5 once i caught a fish alive..."
It seems this is a lot to do for a ten minute activity though or am i over thinking it all? This is the kind of thing i have planned before and my setting have been happy with it.
Any help would be really appreciated.
