The Mash of the Month for June is Serial Mash, our online library for reading and comprehension that inspires children to read. This month we are launching our #SerialMashSummer Reading Challenge.

Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity for schools to reflect on the impact of prejudice, discrimination and hatred. Marked each year on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the day encourages pupils to learn from the past and consider how we can create a more inclusive future.

The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2026, Bridging Generations, highlights the importance of engaging young people in remembrance and ensuring that the lessons of history continue beyond those who experienced it first-hand. To support this, we have worked with our Mash Partner, YIVO, to create a set of age-appropriate Purple Mash resources for Years 5 and 6, linked to their online exhibition “Beba Epstein: The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Girl”.
