Inspiring after-school clubs with Purple Mash: from coding and creative writing to music, art, and debate, discover fun, ready-to-use ideas to engage and excite pupils.

We're celebrating National Pet Month from 1st April to 2nd May. It's all about raising awareness for pet welfare and spreading the word about responsible pet ownership. In this blog, as well as looking at some Purple Mash resources you can use during this time, we also meet some of the pets of 2Simple.

We were recently lucky enough to be invited to Sunnyfields, a lovely one form entry primary school in North London to see how the 2Simple Centre for Excellence school use Purple Mash across the curriculum. With their high usage across subject areas and outstanding teaching of computing, we knew this would be a great place to visit.

Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to inspire and celebrate outdoor play and learning at school and at home. The twice-yearly event is a time for teachers to celebrate with a special day outdoors for their class. This years theme is 'Natures Classroom: Reconnecting with the wild'

There are plenty of outdoor learning activities that you can use to stimulate outdoor exploration and build on learning, come rain or shine...

Each month we highlight a different tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. We call this the Mash of the Month, this month it's our Multiplication Tables Check. During the month, if you share how you have used the #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!
