A Fantastic Finish for Year 6

It was an early start for our Year 6 on Thursday 14th December, as they travelled to Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes, home to the code breakers during World War 2. The children were given a guided tour of the site to experience what it may have been like for the tens of thousands of highly intelligent individuals who helped in essential but highly secretive code breaking missions during the war. They saw first hand the incredible Enigma machines and heard about the work of Alan Turing in creating the Bombe machine. After trying their own hand at breaking some codes, the children left in awe of the incredible odds that the code breakers worked through. A truly fascinating finish to the Year 6 autumn theme.
