PLENTY of schoolchildren are preparing themselves for Nativity performances at this time of year.
And the youngsters at St Ann's, Rainhill have made an extra effort to make their a slightly grander spectacle than normal.
The performance, which will take place on Monday, will see the children perform a Nativity on larger scale.
The performance will see around 500 people from the wider community get involved and St Ann's Church.
Pupils will be on the move through the school for the show with a walk around the town of Bethlehem.
The show will include a 'real baby Jesus'.
The school has shared a preview video looking ahead to its Nativity, which will run throughout the school day on Monday (December 10).
