Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, this will focus 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's Mash of the Month is 2BeSafe, Purple Mash's Online Safety Scheme of Work.

Find out all about the illustrator of Top 10 Deadliest Animals: Brett Gowlett, who had lots of inspiration from the lists that all our Purple Mash users submitted online!

This year International Women's Day falls on Saturday 8th March with the theme Accelerate Action. The day was created to celebrate 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.

Find out all about the author of Top 10 Deadliest Animals: Ivor Baddiel (of course, he had help from lots of Purple Mash children who submitted their lists online... but we won't tell him we know that!)

Save time and stress this year by using our Mash Club for your extra-curricular club. Mash Club is an after-school computing club aimed at KS2 students with 8 self-guided sessions, where your pupils will learn to code and blog.
