Walk to School Week is one of our favourite weeks here at 2Simple. Starting on 17th May, the week gives everyone across the UK a chance to unite in the joy of fresh air and light exercise as we all walk to school.

In 2025, Diwali takes place on Monday 20th October. We invite your class to get involved and celebrate light and colour with these Purple Mash activities.

Mental Health Awareness week, hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, is an annual event when there is an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving good mental health. This year it takes place from 12th to 18th May and has the theme of 'Community'.

To support schools, with Mental Health Awareness Week, we have featured a range of resources from Purple Mash and free resources that relate to the theme, as well a handy guide to share with parents about how to support children's mental health at home.

2BeSafe is an award-winning online safety scheme of work from Purple Mash, which meets the guidance set out in the Department for Education's Education for a Connected World document. Sessions are short and designed to fit into a busy timetable, with no need for extra devices. Find out more about it in this blog.
