Anti-Bullying Week is coordinated In England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and takes place from 13th to 17th November 2023 with the theme Make A Noise About Bullying. The week kicks off with Odd Socks Day on Monday 13th November, where adults and children wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique. In this post we look at resources from across the web that you can use to raise awareness.

In 2023, Diwali takes place on Sunday 12th November. We invite your class to get involved and celebrate light and colour with these Purple Mash activities.

Remembrance Day or Armistice Day is held on the 11th of November and marks the day that World War 1 ended at 11 am on the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918. In this blog, we look at a range of themed resources from The Royal British Legion and Purple Mash that you can use in class to learn about this moving topic.

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.
