Early Years interview

[Cj13]

Hi!! I have an interview where they have asked for me to teach a 30 minute lesson using the story Goldilocks , their theme is knock knock which they have said is about people in their community and who is important to them etc. It’s a bit vague and I’m not sure what route to take whether I plan for continuous provision/ activity but I’m not sure how to go about it. Any help would be really really appreciated !!😊

perhaps you should ask them what the learning intention of the lesson is? emphasis on PSE  appears to be where they are going?? or Knowledge of the world? I'm never sure why people make it so vague surely they want to see the best of you not try and catch you out??!!

As they'll probably know the story already, maybe talk about how the bears were feeling, but also who they could have turned to to help them if they felt worried. This could then lead on to who are some community helpers that help us. 

If you did want to include activities (which I think you might need to) you could do thank you cards for someone who has helped you, create a picture of people who help us using range of resources, or maybe a matching pairs type game for those that help us.

This sounds like to me, a story of Goldilocks that I can deliver using the Early Years Framework: the 3 Primes Areas + Specific Area -> Understanding the World (UW). The ELGs for this "UW" can help me to structure my 30 mins activity(ies). By structure, I mean the "triangle" of: what I can do as a practitioner, how to set up the environment and what the children can do for themselves. I would consider what the children's interests are so as to plan "what's next".
