I have an interview!

Hi! If you've been reading my previous posts you'll know how upset and ill I've been in my current job, so I've been applying elsewhere and I'm so excited! I have an interview for a Teaching Assistant at a really prestigious primary school next week and they said that they very much enjoyed reading my supporting statement - I've never had anything specific like that as feedback so that sounds promising! They've asked me to prepare a 10-15 minute learning activity (based on CLL) for 5 or 6 children. They gave me the choice of FS1 or FS2. This will be my first ever TA job (I have a BA in Early Childhood Studies and EYPS so most of my experience has been in nurseries.) Naturally, I felt more inclined to go for the FS1 children as I'm more experienced and confident with this age but as I'm hoping to get on a teacher training program in the near future, I thought that working with the FS2 children would be a smarter option? I've got a few ideas for activities but I'm not sure if any of them fall directly into CLL (and I'm not sure if they still want literacy incorporated, as the new EYFS has seperated them) I thought maybe doing a circle time activity, exploring textures or musical instruments (just because these are ones I've done before and seemed to work well) but I think they're more KUW or EM&M. I thought about doing a nice story and having a discussion, as I enjoy reading stories with animation and getting the children involved, but then is that a lazy choice? I have another interview (in another school - FS2) the week after and they've specifically asked me to read a story of my choice to a group of children - I was thinking maybe the Gruffalo or Six Dinner Sid, are these appropriate for this age group? I'm not asking anyone to do the work or planning for me, but if anyone could give me some pointers and advice, (or even interview tips) I'd really appreciate it - I'm a little bit terrified because I want it so much!
