VIKKI Slade visited Merley First School to congratulate the winner of her annual Christmas card competition.
First-place winner Isla impressed the MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole with her “imaginative, colourful and bright” design featuring candy canes and a gingerbread man.
Isla’s artwork has been printed on Mrs Slade’s official Christmas cards, which will be delivered by volunteers to homes across the constituency.
The MP visited Merley First School and Bere Regis Primary School where she presented Isla, and all the other participants with certificates of achievement.
Isla also received a teddy bear from the House of Commons along with a framed copy of her design signed by Mrs Slade and the Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
Mrs Slade said: “It was a true honour to receive such a wonderful array of designs from the children that took part in this year’s annual Christmas card competition.
“I am truly stunned by the incredible talent and creativity shown by all the children that took part.
“Isla’s design stood out due to how colourful and fun it was. I just loved the cheerful gingerbread man holding a giant candy-cane lollipop next to a house made of sweets with a rainbow path.”
