We have launched a new competition for 2026, which is now open as of the 18th of May! The Tracklab Competition give's Year 6 students the opportunity to showcase their creativity and musical skills in teams of 2-6 to create a song about their time at Primary School.

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 Tracklab.

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!
