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.

Celebrate 25 years of 2Simple and find out how our software has changed over the years!

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.

Competition now closed

It’s never too early to start spreading the festive cheer, and that's why we're thrilled to announce that our annual Purple Mash Festive Card Competition is opening soon. It's time to put on your creative Santa hat and join the fun! Design a festive card about what the festive season means to you using 2Paint a Picture and you could win 50 cards with your design on as well as a £20 voucher and lots more goodies...
