National Author's Day is celebrated on 1st November each year. This year, celebrate our writer in residence, Ivor Baddiel, and find out more about his new book, Brainchild.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth. This will focus 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!

December's Mash of the Month is 3D design tool 2Design and Make!

World Art Day is celebrated on 15th April, with the date being chosen to honour the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci. We have lots of fantastic resources inside Purple Mash to help celebrate art across your school on this day.

To celebrate the launch of Purple Chip earlier this year, we are running a new competition to get children and schools inspired and excited about programming.
