I like collecting stamps because I am given them.

Sources

from people who have
been on holiday.
I get them off letters and postcards.
I have got them all in albums.
My best country is bulgaria and the u.s.a
I have got lots of albums


Care of stamps.
I stick my stamps on with a hinge on the back of the stamp.
and then stick them in the stamp album. Paper corners are also available paper corners avoid the need for adhesive on the stamps
you must not put your fingers on a stamp because you can get acid on them from your sweat. You should use tweezers to handle all your stamps. You must not put your stamps in sunlight because it fades the stamps.You must keep your album closed and in a cool dry place




I get my stamps when i go on holiday you can swap them if you have got doubles
I get my presentation packs from the post office
you know when they come out you see adverts on tv and hear them on radio you also see them on notice boards


WE CAN LEARN FROM STAMPS
We can learn about the currency of other countries, the price is on the stamp we can compare costs of prices around the world

WE CAN LEARN ABOUT CULTURES AND LEADERS
Pictures of what is important to a country are on stamps.
The head of our Queen is on our stamp which tells us that the Queen is important to Britain
Other pictures put on our stamps include,

Famous inventors
Wildlife
The arts



WE USE STAMPS TO CELEBRATE
Christmas in December for example, also events in history

MY BULGARIA STAMPS
Above is my Bulgaria stamps page. People gave me all of these stamps, some of them had to be removed by steaming off the envelopes

Here's how
You will need long tweezers
kettle
You will have to put the kettle on first, then let the kettle boil, next, pick up the envelope to be steamed off using the tweezers, so that your fingers are clear of the heat. You must not force the stamp off the envelope.
Just wait for the glue to soften and gently remove the stamp once you have taken off the stamp you can put it in the album
