The National Holocaust Museum is the only dedicated Holocaust Museum in the UK, that works with people aged 9 and above. As our newest Mash Partner, we have worked together to create pre and post visit workshops to help teachers prepare pupils for a visit by introducing topics and subjects covered at the museum and to build on learning outside the classroom.

Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to inspire and celebrate outdoor play and learning at school and at home. The twice-yearly event is a time for teachers to celebrate with a special day outdoors for their class.

There are plenty of outdoor learning activities that you can use to stimulate outdoor exploration and build on learning, come rain or shine...

In the lead up to Easter, use our cracking resources to get your children egg-cited about this special time of year.

World Art Day is celebrated on 15th April, with the date being chosen to honour the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci. We have lots of fantastic resources inside Purple Mash to help celebrate art across your school on this day.

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!

April’s #MashoftheMonth is 2Animate. 2Animate helps bring learning to life and can be used to demonstrate a range of concepts across the curriculum. There are videos that explain how to use 2Animate as well as examples that pupils can use to get started and give them inspiration.
