The Young Historian Project is pleased to announce a prize of £100 in book tokens, sponsored by the Historical Association, for individual or Group Project Work, 2007-2008, on any aspect of the Indus Valley Civilisation for UK Primary schools.

NEW! The Digital Blue Movie Camera has excellent software to create stop-go animation. This will be awarded for animation films or creative videos which demonstrate what children have learnt from their enquiries! e.g animations using artwork or models, or ‘dedicated’ films planned by children which might feature models, puppets, artwork, acting and location scenes!
The purpose of the prize is to encourage classroom History and celebrate the quality of what is produced in your classrooms, not to create the need for extra work! Enquiries about this prize and other Primary topics-(Local History, Local History & Citizenship, Best Primary School History Magazine) are most welcome.
