CHILDREN at a primary school have been hard at work putting the finishing touches to their annual Christmas show.

About 90 children from Kelloe Primary School, on the outskirts of Durham City, are taking part in The Night Before Christmas.

The children will perform a dress rehearsal show for elderly people in the village today, followed by two shows for the whole community, at 1.30pm tomorrow and 6.30pm on Wednesday. Admission is 50p.

Class teacher Linda Noone said: "They have all been working hard and have been thoroughly enjoying it."
