Advertorial feature for WGHS
Experience what life and learning is really like at Wakefield Girls’ by joining us for one or two of our exciting, challenging and inspiring Virtual Experiences. We have something every month for all passions, talents and interests – from Code breaking to Creative-Writing, Sport to Science and Arts to Maths. Our Experiences are open to all Year 5 girls.
Whichever Experience you choose, you can expect it to be jam-packed with exciting activities delivered by our subject specialist teachers.
A different Experience will run every month – register for those you’d like to attend and we’ll be in touch with details and a link to the event. Each Experience will be live for one week so you can dip in and out at your convenience.
We look forward to giving you a warm Wakefield Girls’ welcome.
Take on the role of a special agent, on the trail of a band of villains. On the way, you’ll get to know more about Wakefield Girls virtually as you find secret messages that are hidden in codes. These might appear to be ordinary text, written in strange symbols or buried in photographs. Using your maths and computer science skills, you’ll crack the secrets and foil the criminals’ plans!
The experience is for Year 5 girls who enjoy working with numbers, love to solve puzzles and would like to know more about computers.
On our virtual experience you’ll get a glimpse of a secret world of codebreaking. Working with pen and paper, our Maths and Computing specialists will give you hands-on experience of several techniques – some dating back thousands of years and some that are used by hackers today. You’ll see how secrets can be hidden in plain sight, and how to send messages that only your friends can understand. But promise that you’ll only use your new powers for good!
Our virtual experience will be emailed to you on the day. Available online from 26th March 2021 for one week, at your convenience from home.
