Hi Anne,

 

If you start with a banner, I will sign my name on it.

Please see below an interesting competition to design a poster welcoming people to the London Olympics in a foreign language

http://www.routesintolanguages.ac.uk/london/activity/1448

 

BUT only teachers in state specialist schools can enter.

 

I tried to enter for my school and was told -no private schools. I complained as I am of the opinion that this is discrimination as our parents pay taxes that go to fund government departments that run these competitions. I was curtly rebuffed.

 

When I have some time I plan to take this issue further. If others have views on this please let me know.
