Here at 2Simple, we are a proud partner of Maths Week London which takes place from 23rd - 27th June.

We've put together a collection of activities and games, all with an outdoor theme and written especially for Maths Week London 2025.

We get asked all the time if schools still need to collect evidence of children’s learning. Our view has always been a resounding “Yes, absolutely!”. There is no doubt the introduction of new frameworks and methodologies created a narrative that collecting evidence was no longer needed. This message was received with open arms from early years practitioners who were fed up with the amount of time they were spending collecting evidence and assessment data. As a result many schools simply stopped collecting evidence because they believed that was the message coming from the experts. However, we have spoken to several schools that gave up collecting evidence and are now regretting the fact that they no longer have a collection of the exceptional practice and learners' magical moments; those experiences are lost forever.

World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5th, is a global event organized by the United Nations to raise awareness about environmental issues. The theme for 2026 is #NowForClimate, focusing climate change. In this blog, we offer a variety of activities and resources to help schools participate in #NowForClimate.
