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.

As mentioned in Tom Elliot's interview, teachers, students and whole families fear a return to remote learning. While completely understandable, could a blended learning approach in 2022 be beneficial to our young learners? With 2 years of struggle, teachers, students and parents have tried, at times failed, got back up and tried again, we now know, we can do it. Purple Mash supports remote learning in an engaging, supporting learning environment that is easily achieved outside of the classroom.
