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.

In 2025, Safer Internet Day takes place on Tuesday 11th February. Over the years, the day has become a landmark event in the online safety calendar, with schools across the world contributing to creating a safer online environment for all. This year's theme is 'Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online' and here we look at some resources you can use and how you can get involved.

Discover practical tips for primary teachers on teaching online safety in line with government guidance. Explore the "Education for a Connected World" framework to equip your students with essential digital skills and knowledge.

Computing is what 2Simple is most well known for, particularly Purple Mash. But those users who don't have Purple Mash always wonder what it has to offer... read Part 2 of this blog to find out how 2Simple can help you teach computing.

Within Purple Mash, there is a dedicated area for Digital Leaders, pupils who have a passion for Computing and can gain leadership skills and develop their computing skills while having fun. It was fabulous to hear from Mrs. Harris, who shared the impact that the Digital Leaders have at Castleview Primary School.
