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 opening soon. 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...

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.

2Paint a Picture is one of the most popular tools on Purple Mash, and for good reason! Read our blog to find out more about what your students can achieve with 2Paint a Picture.

We would like to thank all those schools who entered our writing element of the Book of Hope competition. The book now however, needs a front cover and images to go within the book as we launch the second part of the competition. Get involved with creating our Book of Hope.
