Across the United Kingdom, 1 in 3 people have some form of hearing loss, whether that be that they are deaf, hard of hearing or experiencing tinnitus. Ultimately, there is a high chance that someone close to you has some form of hearing loss. This could be a family member, a friend, or a colleague. Despite this striking statistic, hearing loss often goes unacknowledged, leading to feelings of isolation for those affected. By becoming more aware this Deaf Awareness Week, we can all play a part in creating a more inclusive and accessible society, one where communication is clear and where support is readily available.

Here at 2Simple, we want to support you in striving for excellence with your curriculum leadership, so we have just added another subject to our hugely popular Subject Leader Toolkits: The English Leaders Toolkit.

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.

If you're looking for simple ways to make a positive impact in your classroom or at home, you're going to love this. The new Purple Mash glue sticks are here – made in partnership with Learn Play Nexus and the innovative U-fill system. And yes, the glue really is purple!

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.
