Co-Founder
Hi, Iām Emma ā a home educating mum of two with a background in early careers recruitment and a passion for building community. Iām the founder of Events4Kids, a dedicated platform where Event Leaders can showcase brilliant home ed activities without relying on scattered Facebook posts or WhatsApp threads.
I also run my own events under the name Hertfordshire Home Ed, which began locally but now reaches families across the UK. Iām currently travelling with my family full-time, using this time to support organisers, connect families, and highlight the richness of home education through trusted, community-led events. Whether you're here to book or host, you're part of something special ā and I'm so glad you found us.
Time of this session has not yet been confirmed. Join Emma and Jack at story time as Granny helps them to find out what went on at Bletchley Park during WW2: how the German Enigma operators tried to keep their messages secret, how they sent them and how the Codebreakers listened in to these messages. Who will be the best at understanding Morse code, spotting patterns and figuring out other secret messages? What hidden codebreaking skills do your children have? During this session children will: Learn more about secrets: about what a secret is, when it is important to keep a secret and who secrets should be shared with. Find out how ciphers were used to keep information secret during WW2 and use a real Enigma machine. Use and develop their team-working and problem-solving skills to solve puzzles and break codes.

Time of this session has not yet been confirmed. From Ancient Greece to the modern day, people have been using increasingly complex codes and ciphers with the intention of communicating secretly and keeping information secure. Enigma was one such cipher. Children will enjoy the rare opportunity to use a genuine Enigma machine as well as encountering a range of historical codes and ciphers as they work together to decipher messages in order to solve a puzzle. This session includes an Enigma machine demonstration. During this session children will: Increase their knowledge of codes and ciphers and their uses throughout history. Develop their understanding of the role that ciphers played during WW2, with specific reference to the Enigma machine and the wider operations of Bletchley Park. Use and develop team working, problem solving and mathematical thinking skills, applying them to a practical codebreaking task. Subject Focus: Maths Additional curriculum links: History
