The pupils at Mowbray Junior School in South Shields went all Edwardian with their Christmas play in 2003.

But that’s only one of the festive school productions we found in our Shields Gazette picture archive.

We’ve got bandits in the Hedworthfield Primary Nativity from 2003 and Santa leading a huge cast in the 2004 show at Hebburn St Oswald’s CofE Primary.

Is it a festive feast? Oh yes it is! Have a look.

A music hall extravaganza from these brilliant students in the 2003 Mowbray Juniors Christmas show.
