Script for 'schoolhouse description' scene

Chris begins by saying "It is 9 o'clock in Paradise"

We all move closer together and sit in a 'childlike' position, e.g. legs crossed with fingers on lips.

Lynsey: The schoolhouse is white
Amy: A small building made out of wood, constructed by local villagers
Sian P: There are 3 wooden steps leading to the door (those standing stamp 3 times)
Sara: There is one large room with a single door
Laura: There are pegs with the children's names on
Stacey: There are paintings on the wall, each child has signed their name (turn and read the girls names out: Naomi Rose, Marion, Lena, Mary Liz and Anna Mae)
Gemma: The floor is made of wooden panels, you can hear the teachers footsteps. (turn around and walk to the back of the room)
Sian G: There are wooden individual desks have lids that open, placed in rows of 5 by 5 (clap and walk to the front of the room - everyone else put the chairs out)

ONCE EVERYONE HAS SAT DOWN

Kathryn: The teachers large wooden desk is at the front of the room facing the children's desks
Louise: Resting on the desk is a large bell with a wooden handle (all pretend to ring bell with right hand twice)
Michael: There are 3 windows on either side
Lauren: Out of the windows (look left) all we can see is fields of green (click with right hand and look back to the front)
Emily: The wooden floor echos as chairs are scraped along it (all turn chairs to the left)
Mel: In the hall which is 4 times the size of the classroom, there is a stage at one end and a stack of chairs at the other (pick up chairs and turn back the right way)
Chris: At the back of the stage there is a chalkboard with the words: 'visitors brighten peoples days'

Gemma walks to the front of the room knocking down five chairs whilst saying the five girls names.
Once Gemma is at the front, all say: VISITORS BRIGHTEN PEOPLES DAYS.
