A Limited Edition Virtual Learning Session

Subject Focus: Maths, History, Computing
Suitable for: Students KS3 +
Duration: This is a 90 minute learning session
Summary
After you've listened to the audio play, Bletchley Girls, (click here to listen) we'll help you to explore some of the people, places and events behind the play.
We'll introduce you to Bletchley Park so that you can get to know where Mavis, Margaret and the other characters worked.
You'll understand the importance behind their work by stepping into their shoes and getting stuck into a codebreaking and direction-finding activity based on a key event in World War Two: just one of many directly impacted by the work of Mavis Batey and her colleagues! Finally, we'll compare the past with the present before leaving you with some resources and ideas for continuing your own investigations into themes uncovered by Bletchley Girls.
