Very nice interaction with the children
Good reminders to speak in English
Good classroom management (but see below)
Lots of positive feedback keep going with this
Children are engaged and on-task due to your very nice choice of activities
Effective monitoring and scaffolding

Focus for next lesson:

Try and find an activity on the carpet that engages all the children for the

Spend less time on the carpet to avoid children becoming bored, especially
those that speak good English. If you spend too much time on the carpet
this can lead to behaviour management problems
