Blog

There are many fantastic opportunities to celebrate maths in school, including national and international maths day and maths weeks. Whenever your school chooses to celebrate maths, use this blog to gather ideas and find exciting resources.

The aim of Michael Rosen Day, on 12th November, is to 'make reading, listening to, and writing poetry fun, enjoyable and accessible for all'. Purple Mash has a range of resources to celebrate the day in your school.

Schools have until 31 December 2026 to publish their Inclusive Mainstream Fund strategies, outlining how they will strengthen inclusive practice and support all learners. In this blog, we'll explore how Purple Mash aligns with four of the Department for Education's key principles for inclusion and can help primary schools create more accessible, engaging and supportive learning experiences for every pupil.

Remembrance Day or Armistice Day is held on the 11th of November and marks the day that World War I ended at 11am on the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918. In this blog, we look at a range of resources from The Royal British Legion and Purple Mash that you can use in class to learn about this moving day.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, focusing on a tool or application within Purple Mash 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! This month it's 2Paint a Picture.
