This year, Her Majesty the Queen will become the first British monarch to celebrate a platinum jubilee after 70 years of service, having acceded to the throne on the 6th of February 1952 when she was just 25 years old. There are a range of events to mark this historic occasion culminating with the platinum jubilee weekend in June.

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.

Find out all about the illustrator of Top 10 Deadliest Animals: Brett Gowlett, who had lots of inspiration from the lists that all our Purple Mash users submitted online!
