TWELVE pupils at All Saints Primary School, Winchester, were chosen by a local artist as winners of a Christmas card competition.

Josephine Chisholm was asked to pick two winners from each class, from a shortlist of Christmas card designs.

The 12 winners – Madison and Joel from Class R, Max and Georgie from Class 1, Ruben and George from Class 2, Alfie and Lydia from Class 3, Royan and Benjamin from Class 4 and Kelly and Emma from Class 5 – were presented a selection box by the artist, in a special assembly.

Their Christmas cards were also made into a multi-pack which will be on sale at the school’s Christmas fair on Friday.

Mrs Chisholm said: “All the children worked very hard. It was very difficult to choose a winner. They all deserved it.”

All money raised goes to The Friends Association.
