56 of the cutest pictures as pupils in primary schools around Portadown put on their nativity plays

A highlight of the primary school year is the annual nativity play and this year parents and friends of pupils at Portadown schools were treated to a variety of great seasonal productions.

From playing the part of angels and shepherds to Mary, Joseph and of course, the wee donkey, pupils enjoyed dressing up for the occasion and becoming little stars of the stage.

Photographer Tony Hendron went along to Ballyoran Primary School, Cope Primary School in Loughgall, Hamiltonsbawn Primary School, St John the Baptist Primary School and Bunscoil Eoin Baiste to capture these adorable pictures.
