Children attending First and Middle Schools in West Moors, and youngsters who are residents of the town, were given the opportunity to design a new Christmas card for West Moors Town Council.

The children had to design a Christmas picture, of any style, that could be scanned onto the Christmas cards and judged by the chairman of the council.

A spokesman said: “As in previous years, the decision making was very difficult and so many children deserved commendations and thanks.

“It is always so rewarding receiving such cute, talented and creative pictures.”

The winner, Madison Trim, Year 6 from West Moors Middle School, drew an inviting ‘Christmas Scene’. For this she will receive a pack of 20 printed Christmas cards with her winning design on the front, as well as an arts and craft gift.

The two runners up – Holli Tulley, Year 7 from West Moors Middle School, and Layla Stroud, Reception Year from St Mary’s First School, receive an arts and craft gift.
