Here are details of a competition from Teachers TV for the budding local historians reading: Come up with
an innovative class project involving local buildings and you could win
complete funding for it
(PLUS a digital camera) in our Hidden House History competition. There's even
an opportunity for pupils to win a new laptop and digital camera with their own
innovative
ideas.
Co-sponsored
by The History Channel and Ancestry.co.uk the
competition ties in with a range of fascinating programmes that can help
actively engage pupils with local history.
Two examples
are available online to give you some ideas and a bit of inspiration, as are
links to top-notch resources and a number
of short video clips with great tips on investigating the history of your local
architecture and landscape.
Go to the Hidden House
History homepage now to start planning a local excursion that could wake
up the future historians, archaeologists and archivists
in your classroom. And don't forget the 30 June deadline – be sure to start
brainstorming before the competition is history!
