Purple Mash is a piece of online software which schools sign up to. For access it costs £600 for accesses for 151-300 pupils. The software is designed for children in KS1, and early KS2. Purple Mash is created by the same people who make 2Simple and can be linked with it. media type="file" key="Purple mash.mp4" width="853" height="489" It is a cross-curricular tool, which can tackle subjects such as maths in a creative manor. The new curriculum now includes pupils to gain and understand skills in computer coding. Below is an example of how pupils can use the simple software.As you can see it is very simple to use, the children are able to pick which fish they would like to use and can then also click and direct the fish. This program allows the children to create very simple movement with the use of basic computer coding.

During S.E I have seen the software used to create a fire-engine net, in a year 2 class. This was linked to their current topic of Fire engines and linked Design and technology, Mathematics, Art and ICT. It was clear to see during the task that the programme does have a couple glitches when the children were designing their net because of this it needs adult supervision as the children can get frustrated.
