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!

Each month we highlight a different tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. We call this the Mash of the Month, this month it's Tracklab.

During the month, if you share how you have used the #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!
