THE children, staff and parents of Hunton and Arrathorne School, near Bedale, have been collecting stamps since last year, as part of an RSPB campaign to save the albatross.
A school spokesman said: "For a small school, we really have managed to collect a huge number.
"Initially, the children did not know that much about these amazing birds.
"Once they realised how much their numbers are being hit, they wanted to help.
"A couple of our children are members of the RSPB and have been following the campaign's progress with interest."
