We have taken a look through our archives at how youngsters have been turning their attention to Christmas activities within school over the last 50 years, and have come up with some nostalgic pictures to share.
Whether it was putting together Chistmas boxes for the less fortunate, singing carols, or creating Christmas cards, city youngsters from over the years were certainly kept busy in the classroom ahead of the big day.
Do you see anyone you recognise among the youngsters and school groups pictured over the years?
