Interview at Oxford brookes- primary teaching QTS

Hi,
I have an interview at Oxford brookes for primary teaching QTS.
As part of the interview I have been asked to plan to teach some of the other applicants about a topic of my choice.
I will only be given 5 minutes to do this.
I was wondering if anyone has had to do this for the same course. Whether that be a brookes or another university interview.
If so, I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you did and what others did.
I have no idea what to teach and what activity to do and I'm stressing out.
Please if you have done something similar of know someone that has, help me out! :confused:

Hello!

I had to do this for Brooke's last year, it was absolutely fine!

I chose to teach everyone different words I learnt when I travelled around India, this was really easy and simple. I also devised some works sheets, so matching the word to the picture of what it means. This was ideal because it was something I knew about but didn't need to stress over too much, the worksheet was simple and not too complicated, I tried to make it look like a sheet I would do for primary children.
Other people actually did really random things, one person bought in meat and taught us how to make a kebab, others taught us about their hobbies (cycling etc).

I really hope this helps! Good luck
