NATIVITY shows have been in full swing over the last few weeks at schools across Worcestershire.

Many have performed traditional versions of the classic story of the birth of Jesus, while others gave their performances a modern twist.

Among them were Hey Ewe, Whoops-a-daisy Angel, When Sasha got swept up the chimney, Straw and Order, Prickly Hay and Shine Star Shine.

Beautiful angels, smart Kings, a few sheep and even a real donkey featured in some of the performances.

Here's our gallery of pictures from schools across Worcestershire, which were also published in the Worcester News on Tuesday.
