Research a significant figure in the computing world. Write a biography about them using the information you have found. Write a job advert to recruit a top spy.

In addition to the information and artwork they produce in school, they will need to think about: 1) how to decorate their table and 2) the food which is eaten as part of the celebration. Therefore, for their home-learning, please can they cook/bake a traditional celebratory dish (which relates to their chosen festival) ready to bring and enjoy as part of the celebration event).
