Code Cracking in Year 5!

 


Year 5 have been continuing with their code cracking in Computing, by experimenting with and making their own Caesar Ciphers.

The children have used their resourcefulness skills to change messages from 'plaintext' to 'ciphertext' and vice versa by encrypting and decrypting messages.


Using their reciprocity skills, the children worked together to challenge each other to create different algorithms before trying to solve the key and crack their code!


'It was a bit tricky to decrypt the messages!' - Riley


'I liked it when you have to work out the secret word' - Peter
