Shakespeare Week is an annual celebration giving primary school aged children opportunities for enriching and enjoyable early experiences of Shakespeare. There are a range of resources within Purple Mash and beyond that lend themselves well to supporting any introduction to Shakespeare.

Mini Mash, our online space for little learners, has been redeveloped and refreshed to provide a more intuitive, engaging and user-friendly experience for both pupils and teachers. You'll find new areas to explore, and more personalisation features to tailor it perfectly to your class.

That's why Mini Mash is September's Mash of the Month! Read on for more information on the changes...

Looking to avoid Black Friday and all the supposed 'bargains'? Why not celebrate Buy Nothing Day instead? This year, we're supporting Children's Book Project in their mission of collecting one million books and redistributing them to children who do not have a book of their own. Find out more about how you can join and donate your own books in our blog.

"Remember, remember the Fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot..." Bonfire Night is celebrated on the 5th of November and marks the anniversary of the discovery of a plot organised by Catholic conspirators to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London in 1605. Find out more in this blog and explore the resources on Purple Mash about this important day in history.
