StampIT launches new competitions
StampIT along with RZSS have launched language competitions. All are based on a fantastic activity which covers many curriculum objectives starting with just one postage stamp. Tell the story of a Spanish, French, Chinese or in fact any country/language stamp. Full details are on the attached pdf leaflets. There are specific leaflets for Spanish, French and Mandarin. There is also another leaflet ‘Stamps from around the World’ and for this competition any topic (including any language) can be entered. This activity links to the StampIT & RZSS language series – see scottishphilately.co.uk/youth.php; tinyurl.com/scilangclass & beyondthepanda.org.uk
The competition will continue to run each year, therefore there is no time limit for entries. However for entries to be shown in the 2020 Scottish Annual Congress, please send by 1st March 2020. Entries are encouraged from all age groups. Example pages are shown but younger pupils can still enter and possibly draw around the stamp and write a word or two in the language as appropriate. Pupils can enter more than one of the competitions.
Check out the attached leaflets for more information on each of the competitions. If anyone has difficulty in finding stamps, please contact Sandie Robb – srobb@rzss.org.uk
