Blog

Read our blog for classroom activities and teaching ideas to celebrate Chinese New Year on 10th February. 2024 is the Year of the Dragon.

Each month we highlight a #MashoftheMonth, focusing on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month, if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!

This January the Mash of the Month is 2Blog.

The countdown is on for #Bett2024 and we can't wait to be there!

It's always a fantastic few days getting to meet our community in person so we hope you'll come along to stand SH21 and say hello!

One of the themes for Bett is Wellbeing. Our solutions from 2Simple have wellbeing at their core helping teachers save valuable time, improve work-life balance and teach pupils key skills around relationships and positive mental health.

The RSPB Big Schools' Birdwatch is a great opportunity to get students outside and closer to nature. Taking part can count towards the RSPB's Wild Challenge award, and the RSPB's activities support curriculum learning. Purple Mash contains resources and activities you can use to extend learning in this topic area - read the blog to find out more.

Holocaust Memorial Day with Purple Mash

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place every year on 27 January, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. It is an international day to remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust and the millions of people murdered under the Nazi persecution of other groups and in more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. HMD is an opportunity for everyone to learn about the past and take action to create a safer future.
