Pupils at a Midlothian primary school have been letting their creativity shine by creating their very own Christmas card designs as part of Barratt Developments’ festive competition.
Barratt Developments Scotland – which includes Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes – invited pupils from Rosewell Primary School to try their hand at designing their very own festive cards, with the winning design being transformed into a physical pack to be given to residents at the housebuilder’s sites.
After judging more than 20 entries, Eva Hall from Primary 6 was crowned champion of the festive design competition, winning a £50 Smyths voucher in the process. The 10-year-old’s design depicts a snowy Christmas Eve sky with Santa’s sleigh flying over rooftops.
To mark her win, Eva and her fellow pupils who took part in the competition were invited to switch on the Christmas tree lights at David Wilson Homes’ Rosewell Meadow development on Thursday 7th December.
All budding artists were awarded a chocolate selection box for their efforts, with Eva doing the honours and switching on the lights.

Shona Richardson, Headteacher at Rosewell Primary School, said: “The pupils were very excited to be asked to take part in the Christmas Card competition.
“We have a number of creative and imaginative pupils at Rosewell so this was right up their street. Some even gave up their lunch breaks to join a ‘Christmas Card Art Club’. It was so popular that we had to bring in extra tables and chairs. It was a hive of festive activity!”

Anne Ross, Sales Director at Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes East Scotland, said: “We were extremely impressed by the designs Eva and her schoolmates created.
“Not only did they capture the joy and fun of Christmas time, but you could also see how much time and effort each pupil put into their work.
“We hope our small events bring a bit of festive sparkle to the communities we are building within East Scotland.”
