Overall a very nice first lesson

Focus for next lesson:

Make sure the carpet activities engage ALL children
Let children ask questions about the activities during the activities, not
during the instructions as this prolongs carpet time unnecessarily
Try and use some enthusiastic positive feedback such as wow, that was
amazing or well done, youre so clever
