VE day or Victory in Europe day marks the day when the guns of World War II finally fell silent in Europe. The day was celebrated with street parties and celebrations, and many people gathered outside Buckingham Palace dressed in red, white and blue. Let's see how you can commemorate with Purple Mash.

Anne Frank was given a diary for her 13th Birthday on 12th June 1942 in which she wrote daily and had planned to publish a book about her time in the Secret Annex. Her diary was published after her death and has been translated into more than 70 languages.

On 16th May, Ofsted published their research review into the computing curriculum, to identify factors that can contribute to high-quality school computing curriculums, assessment, pedagogy and systems. We've taken a close look at the report and identified how Purple Mash meets each of those factors, and throughout this week we're posting a series of blog posts outlining exactly how it does this. Each daily blog will cover 2-3 of the factors in depth, looking at what the report says and highlighting where Purple Mash supports them.

Today, we start by looking at teacher technical and pedagogical content knowledge of computing, as well as the curriculum structure: called the pillars of progression within this report.

Here at 2Simple, we want to support you in striving for excellence with your curriculum leadership, so we have just added another subject to our hugely popular Subject Leader Toolkits: The Maths Leaders Toolkit.
