The Mash of the Month for October is 2Code, the Purple Mash tool that introduces computer programming (coding) to children. It has three key components: free code, guided lessons and debug challenges.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, focusing on a tool or application within the Mash Suite and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. This month our Mash of the Month is the brand new Builders Tray! If you share how you have used the #MashoftheMonth, you will be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!

Kingsland only started using Purple Mash this school year (2018-19) and has already been recognised as a 2Simple School of Excellence. In fact, its worth noting that the school has a strong commitment to ICT in general: it has achieved the ICT Mark and is the Apple Regional Training Centre for Stoke.
