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.

Every year, thousands of schools, nurseries, colleges, community groups and organisations work together during the UK's biggest road safety event, raising awareness about road safety and helping save lives. Road Safety Week is the ideal time to run road safety lessons and assemblies or launch a campaign for safer local streets.

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.

It’s never too early to start spreading the festive cheer, and that's why we're thrilled to announce that our annual Purple Mash Festive Card Competition is open - it's time to put on your creative Santa hat and join the fun!

Design a festive card about what the festive season means to you using 2Paint a Picture and you could win 50 cards with your design on as well as a £20 voucher and lots more goodies...
