Eyes to the skies ( with solar viewers )
We were really impressed with the Solar Eclipse and had a superb view. We were very lucky, here in Shetland the eclipse was very near total, with 97% of the Sun’s disc obscured by the Moon.
On Thursday 5th of March primaries 3,4,5,6 and 7 went to the Garrison Theatre to have a dress rehearsal for Rumpelstiltskin the P3,4 play and our play The Stubborn Little Girl and the Spider’s Web. When we were backstage we were all a bit nervous. The stage was really big, there was a lot more space than we were used to. Backstage in the wings were a little bit cramped as we waited for our cues. Rob the technician was in charge and if we were noisy he said, “Quiet in the wings please!” Thomas was in charge of the lights and sounds and Izzy and Marsali were helping us get into position on the stage. In the dressing rooms it got very hot because the little bulbs on the wall got hot and heated the room up. We watched the primary 3 and 4 class doing their play Rumpelstiltskin and it was very good, they thought our performance was very good too. Watching each other gave us tips for our shows next week. The P3,4s will be the first play of the Drama Festival on Monday night and P5,6,7 will be on the final night on Thursday. We all enjoyed our trip out and can’t wait to do our performance next week in the Shetland County Drama Festival.
