We think that codes are good because they told other men when to attack so spy's could not understand what there were saying!!

Anthea, I think secret codes are necessary because they can help people if they are lost. They can also help if you are trying to tell someone something and other people would not know what they are saying.
Lexie, I think secret codes are necessary because they are helpful to tell someone something that other people will not understand.

So they could send codes to each other. Like if some one was hurt they could tell some one. sending codes is a good way to send a massage so that no one nos what you are saying because its in code

julielle & Bailey

We think that codes would be a good way to talk well your at war or playing with friends, because in war the people that are against you may not know what you are saying with the other people that are with you will understand what you are saying. So you can make a plan and the people against you will not know your plan to attack them with.

Why might you want to create a code?
Maybe you are in PE class and playing a game and need to think of a plan without the other team knowing.
