This year, the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, or Chanukah, runs from Monday 15th to Monday 22nd December. Here at 2Simple, we're celebrating Chanukah using Purple Mash and have several resources for you to use in your classrooms to celebrate this holiday.

Find out the important recommendations of the Curriculum Review for all subjects within UK Primary Schools, in an easy-to-read summary. Find resources from Purple Mash to help navigate the potential changes to the National Curriculum.

In November, the 2Simple Marketing team alongside a film crew visited Harbour Primary in Newhaven, East Sussex. This school had been recommended to us by our Sales Manager Katie, for showcasing outstanding Purple Mash usage. We knew that this was a school that we had to visit!

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!

As the new academic year approaches, we wanted to share with you some useful links we know will help you and your colleagues get started in 2026/27. In the post we'll cover account set up for Purple Mash admins, including data syncing and adding new classes; plus, we'll share useful tools and teacher resources to help you feel prepared at the start of the new year.
