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! Whether you've already registered or would like to find out more, here's our handy summary of what you can expect from the show and our stand this year.

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!

April’s #MashoftheMonth is 2Animate. 2Animate helps bring learning to life and can be used to demonstrate a range of concepts across the curriculum. There are videos that explain how to use 2Animate as well as examples that pupils can use to get started and give them inspiration.
