What better place to start than with Purple Mash. Purple Mash is all about creativity, communication, and collaboration. It is your complete online solution for Primary Education, which is why thousands of schools use the package as an integrated resource to deliver teaching and learning in school from nursery to year 6.

18th March is Global Recycling Day. This year it is focussed on the recycling fraternity, celebrating those who put themselves on the frontline to collect waste and recycling during the multiple lockdowns. There is also a stress on the importance of education about recycling and pollution.

At 2Simple, we haven't collected waste, but we have collected a range of activities and put them on the same page in Purple Mash, so that you can easily access and use them in class, encouraging everyone to recycle.

This year International Women’s Day falls on Tuesday 8th March with the theme #BreakTheBias. The day is about celebrating women and their achievements, whilst challenging stereotypes, bias, discrimination and perceptions. To mark the day, we have several resources and activities for you to use on Purple Mash, giving children a chance to explore and write about inspirational women from across the globe.

This year National Storytelling Week runs from 29th January to 5th February. The theme for 2022 is Read a Story. Tell the Story and the Society for Storytelling has a range of resources on their website packed full of tools to support the teaching of storytelling to children at all key stages. There are also a wealth of resources within Purple Mash.

Purple Mash pictogram tool 2Count is a versatile tool that lets you create pictograms to represent all kinds of items, from favourite colours to foods eaten and everything in between, in just a few clicks.
