Yesterday Lynne Featherstone visited a painting class at her old school, Highgate Primary, to see how the children were getting on with their entries for her Christmas card competition.

This year the theme is ‘I’m dreaming of a green Christmas’, with pupilsgiving their interpretation of recycling at Christmas. The winner will be selected on the basis of how imaginatively the students interpret the theme and on how eye-catching the design is.

All primary schools in Hornsey and Wood Green have been invited to send in their entries. The deadline for the competition is Friday the 7th November, but any late entries will be accepted until the end of next week.

The winning design will feature on Lynne Featherstone’s Christmas card that is sent to several thousand homes.

Lynne Featherstone MP comments:

“It was great to pop back to my old school to see how the kids were getting along with their Christmas designs. There were some fantastic ideas and I can see some real contenders for first place.

“I’ve already received some fantastic entries but I am sure there will be a last minute flurry. I’m really looking forward to sitting down with my office and going through the entries. Thanks to everyone who have already sent me their contributions.”
