This year, the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, or Chanukah, runs from Wednesday 25th December to Thursday 2nd January. Here at 2Simple, we're celebrating Chanukah using Purple Mash and have several resources for you to use in your classrooms to celebrate this holiday.

Discover the exciting launch of Purple Mash Publishing's first Top 10s book, featuring creative and fun lists submitted by children. Find out where the idea for the series came from, and the whole process around developing the first book in the series - as well as finding out what the first book is about!

Stuck for what to buy for Christmas for the children in the family? This year, 2Simple has rounded up some of the best gift ideas for children featuring educational gifts, ethical goodies, and even a way to fundraise for schools through Christmas shopping. Whether you’re looking for engaging reads, active play essentials, or fun Purple Mash merch, our Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide has something special for every young learner!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! At this time schools across the country are preparing for the Christmas nativity, searching for the missing wise man, wondering how on earth they are going to get the glitter out of the carpet, hoping that the staff room is full of chocolate treats and working out which Christmas card delivered into the post box needs to get to which child.

For all those in between moments 2Simple have a range of stocking fillers and Christmas activities to see you through the weeks ahead; from writing projects, to mash cams and everything in between, there is something to suit every year group over the next couple of weeks.

We're delighted to announce that Know my School has been highly commended in this year's Teach Secondary Awards in the 'School Business and Procurement' category!

Although we have always been proud of how well Know my School supports schools with improvement plan and self-evaluation, it's fantastic to have this recognised from the Teach Secondary panel of experts.
