Today we met up at Uni at 8 with all our things from SCRAP and our Aquarium. Unfortunately Sophie was un able to come today due to work. We were stressing a little bit about our transport there and back everyday but luckily Jessie drove back from Scotland yesterday so she can do all the driving, which is a life saver!
All the setting up went pretty well; we were unsure about the positioning of our Aquarium, we really could've done with another table to put it on. We experimented with balancing it in the middle of the two tables and have left it like that for now. The seaweed looking material we got looks so great around the top of the tent in our section! Really sets off the under the sea look!! We have set up the two separate tables and made them quite clear which ones which. Jenny gave us some lovely table cloths to put onto our tables to make them look nice and protect the tables. Also, she showed us our worksheets that they got printed. The side of the sheet with the worksheet I create I was a little bit disappointed with because they for some reason made it smaller so there was white all around the edge. But its not a big deal.
To get the ball rolling tomorrow for the kids to create their own creatures we made our own quick little sample ones and put them up in the Aquarium.
Once we had set up our own tables we needed to help out setting up the other workshops as the artists weren't there to be able to set them up themselves. Particularly we spent a lot of time setting up the whole of the green house workshop. We put the green house and shelving up, then cut out all the plants and put them into pots with compost and dangled insects and plants from the roof. It all looks very pretty all set up and done!
We did various other jobs for the other workshops, lots of cutting out and making everything look presentable. Also, we made the bunting to go around the festival and put it up around the Anorak event.
Today has been a great start and pleased with how everything looks! I think in the morning we might have to experiment with where the Aquarium will go a little more, but will have a think about it some more tonight.
Also, note for tomorrow..wrap up warm! Today, despite it looking sunny it was freezing cold all day!
