IT's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - so as our readers trying to pull together costumes for their children's plays and nativities, here is some inspiration from 2013!

It was a busy time for pupils, staff and parents at Ovingham C of E First School KS1, who pulled together costumes and rehersed lines for not one but two shows!

Sticking with Ovingham C of E First School, we look at the KS2 show which was Little Red Riding Hood and the WolfHexham Courant: Ovingham C of E First School KS2’S Christmas play Little Red Riding Hood and the WolfOvingham C of E First School KS2’S Christmas play Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf (Image: NQ)

Wark First School took an interesting perspective on the orginal nativity and called it a Midwife Crisis.

 Schools that did not stray away from the classic Nativity was Prudhoe Adderlane First School and Prudhoe West First School.
