Purple Mash is celebrating International Museum Day with a partnership with School of Noise, check out the new resources which link science and sound.

Queen Victoria was born on the 24th May 1819 and is one of the most famous monarchs in history and until Queen Elizabeth II, her reign was the longest of any monarch in British history and came to be known as the Victorian Era. As well as being Queen at home, she was Queen over all the British Empire.

We are celebrating the work of the NHS and the dedication and hard work of all as we celebrate International Nurses Day. One of the first pioneers of Nursing was Florence Nightingale who was born on the 12th May 1820, on the 200th anniversary of her birth, the work Florence Nightingale did resonates with us now more than ever. Florence’s ideas and actions changed nursing forever.

We're celebrating National Pet Month from 1st April to 2nd May. It's all about raising awareness for pet welfare and spreading the word about responsible pet ownership. In this blog, as well as looking at some Purple Mash resources you can use during this time, we also meet some of the pets of 2Simple.

We were recently lucky enough to be invited to Sunnyfields, a lovely one form entry primary school in North London to see how the 2Simple Centre for Excellence school use Purple Mash across the curriculum. With their high usage across subject areas and outstanding teaching of computing, we knew this would be a great place to visit.
