Fun Summer Learning at Home with Purple Mash

While children definitely need time off over the summer, it's a long time to go without regular learning or practise of key skills, and it can take children as long as 7 weeks in school to catch up again (frontiers).

It can also be a long time to keep the kids entertained while also avoiding 'brain rot' online.

That's where Purple Mash comes in! With fun and engaging activities which are aligned to the curriculum and designed to support children's learning, you'll have hours of educational entertainment at your fingertips this summer.

What is Purple Mash?

Purple Mash is a safe and secure, fun, all-in-one learning platform that encourages creativity in education. Chances are, you'll have heard of Purple Mash as having been a fantastic solution for home learning during the pandemic, or you'll be a lucky parent whose child's school already has a subscription. If they don't, then a home subscription is just £40 for a whole year for up to 4 child accounts, with a 2-week no-obligation free trial to begin with - that's right, you don't need to give us payment details to try it!

Purple Mash is full of exciting activities across all subjects - from maths games and writing tools, to creative art projects and coding challenges, there's something for all children aged 5-11, making it a great way to keep young minds active.

Have peace of mind knowing that Purple Mash is a safe and secure online platform designed specifically for children, which will help them continue their learning while away from school.
