Year 5/6's preparations for our epic Machinema rendition of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night continue apace. In the screenshot above you can see:
1. Lady Olivia's house. This is now carpeted upstairs, and Malvolio recently took delivery of a consignment of imported lapis lazuli dye for the blue carpets downstairs.
2. Duke Orsino's Castle. Here the mournful Duke sits by his window gazing out at Lady O's dwelling in a *slightly* creepy fashion. Fear not Lovestruck Sire, Ernie & Evie* will soon sort out your mixed up love-life!
3. Shakespeare's Shack. Sssh! The bard is... barding? Do not disturb.
4. Lake. This is one of the possible locations for the shipwreck / opening scene, though we haven't quite figured out the mechanics of making a ship sink in Minecraft...
5. Y5/6 Classroom. Here's are the students' lockers, work tables and furnaces, plus the roast chicken vending machine and the Chest o' Diamonds for assembling a the most durable of tools. There's also a noticeboard of outstanding tasks students can lend a hand with.
6. Lady O's gardens. These are based on the gardens at Villandry Castle, France (thank you Google Images). The gardens at the back of the house will have the tall hedges behind which Maria, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew giggle whilst drawing Lady Olivia's butler into their web of silliness.
* Ernie Mist and Evie Mist are the two twins who'll be playing Sebastian and Viola/Cesario
