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!)

We've put everything that's new at 2Simple in a handy blog for you to read at your leisure. Find improvements, updates and brand new releases across Purple Mash, Serial Mash, Python in Pieces, Striver, Dot Com Digital, Evidence Me and more!

On March 3rd, it is World Wildlife Day, a time to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. The theme for World Wildlife Day 2025 is ‘Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet’ and #WorldWithoutWildlife. There’s a wide range of educational resources available within Purple Mash that support the theme that you can use to celebrate World Wildlife Day.
