Poll: Should schools stick to traditional nativity plays?
Whether you had a starring role as Mary or Joseph or were the 5th angel from the left on the back row, many of us will remember performing in nativity plays when we were at school. These days, however, many schools and pre-schools opt out of performing the traditional nativity scene and put on Christmas themed plays instead. So we thought we’d ask which you prefer.

As both a mum and teacher I think that traditional nativity plays are SO important. We did ours at school yesterday and Tuesday, and although it had a modern twist, it was still the nativity story in essence. How else are future generations going to learn the true meaning of Christmas if not through school nativity plays?
As a mum and an admin worker in a Nursery for 6m-5 yr olds, I would TOTALLY agree with Karyn. It is VITAL that our schools continue with the Nativity Play, traditional and modern versions both! With all the emphasis on embracing multi-culturalism we would be in danger of losing all that is great about Britain! Christianity, fairness, INclusiveness (i.e. NOT excluding Christianity from our culture, education, public life, etc. just because we are recognising other faiths too.) and tolerance!
