Entries can be animations, or ‘dedicated’ films scripted by children, which might feature models, puppets, and artwork, and should demonstrate what they have learnt from their enquiries!
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.
