All across Dorset schools have been celebrating Christmas in time-honoured tradition - with a nativity performance.
Our photographers have been out and about over the last few weeks taking pictures of dress rehearsals and performances. Some schools have opted for traditional nativities, while some have put on Christmas-themed performances but all of the young pupils look like they had lots of fun.
The pictures taken by our photographers are available to buy online.
