Parents have been watching their flocks by day over the last few weeks – with the story of the Nativity brought to the stage by schools across the district.
Whether it’s been a traditional Nativity or a modern take on the 2,000-year-old story, costume dramas have once again been bringing the excitement of Christmas into the spotlight for young children.
Hexham Courant photographer Kate Buckingham has been busy capturing those special moments in schools across Tynedale.
