Would you believe your school community’s online shopping can help fund computing resources?

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true, thanks to our latest partner - easyfundraising.

We’ve partnered to offer our schools a free, easy, and sustainable way to fund the computing curriculum, giving more children access to vital skills and technical knowledge.

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.

This year British Nutrition Foundation has changed Healthy Eating Week to Snack-tember, and it now runs for the whole month of September. Explore activities, tips, and resources to promote healthy habits in schools.

Python in Pieces is an interactive coding environment, designed to build student and teacher confidence in the text-based coding language of Python. With the ability to easily translate from block-code to Python, in BOTH directions, meaning that students quickly become empowered to progress from the expectations of KS2 through to KS3. We visited Caroline Chisholm School (before Lockdown) to see Python in Pieces in action.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, this will focus on a tool or application and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month, if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!

The Mash of the Month for October is 2Calculate, the Purple Mash tool that teaches children how to use spreadsheets.
