Christmas is nearly here and lots of children throughout the county are taking part in school nativities.

We will once again be bringing you a picture special featuring pictures from school nativity and Christmas play productions from throughout Weymouth, Portland, Dorchester, Purbeck and West Dorset.

This will be in the Dorset Echo on Wednesday, December 19, and in the Bridport News (featuring pictures from schools in West Dorset, Bridport, Beaminster and Lyme Regis) on Thursday, December 20.

In October we also brought you our First Class picture special, featuring reception classes as they started their school careers.
