World Space Week is a UN-declared celebration of space held annually from 4th to 10th October. This year's theme is 'Living in Space'. There are lots of Space resources within Purple Mash, Serial Mash and Python in Pieces that you can use to inspire children throughout the week, to infinity and beyond!

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.

The Purple Mash Computing Scheme gives primary schools everything they need to confidently teach Computing from EYFS to Year 6. Fully aligned to the UK National Curriculum, it covers Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy, with ready-to-use lesson plans, teaching resources, assessment tools and a clear progression of skills and knowledge.

That's why the Computing Scheme is September's Mash of the Month!

We’re excited to announce the finalists for Purple Mash Publishing's Top 10s Competition! We asked children to submit their ideas for a terrific Top 10s topic, and the responses did not disappoint. View the finalists and vote for which you think should be made into a book!
