A Gift for Tidy Towns ?1,000 This year Mayo County Council has decided to make some changes to the Litter Action League. The main change for 2016 is that we start the competition with ?1,000 prize money already awarded to us! Each month judging will take place as in previous years but the pieces of litter found on our streets will result in a deduction from our ?1,000 prize money ? each piece of litter could cost us up to ?2. The message is clear. Litter on the streets ? money down the drain! Judging begins this month (April).

Meeting re Community Futures Belmullet Tidy Towns with support from several other voluntary groups in the Belmullet area have applied for the 2016 Community Futures Programme. The aim of the programme is to support and strengthen our community and to help and sustain all participating groups and the wider community also. The programme aims to encourage the interest and participation of more people in community issues, and to involve all sectors in the process of preparing a community action plan. There are many benefits to be derived from this approach as can be seen from other communities who have already participated. You are invited to attend a meeting with Mary Wrafter who is the coordinator of the Community Futures Programme in Mayo and who will tell us all about the programme and answer any queries that you might have. Everybody is welcome to attend. The meeting will be held in Talbot Hotel on Tuesday 26th April at 8.00pm.

The Union of Students in Ireland is calling for a change in the way Irish is Taught in School The Union of Students in Ireland is calling for a change in the way the Irish language is taught at primary, secondary and third level. The union?s annual congress, held from the 21st ? 24th March in Ennis, passed the motion that the VP for the Irish Language will direct a study, in collaboration with the relevant Irish language organisations and teachers? unions, teacher-training colleges, between students, teachers, and others, to publish a collaborative report that would set out a progressive, comprehensive, and multilateral strategy regarding the teaching of Irish at primary and post primary level.USI spoke about the long-term failures surrounding the teaching of Irish at primary and post primary level, as well as he lack of a united and collaborative effort to find a solution to these failures. Congress condemned the impact that this has had, in the absence of clearly defined policy that would improve the teaching of Irish, which the relevant Irish language and educational groups could support.?The way Irish is taught in schools isn?t working,? Kevin Donoghue, USI President, said, ?There needs to be more of an emphasis on the spoken language. Fluency is best reached through submersion, which is why we?re recommending all students go to the gaeltacht. USI is concerned about the teaching of the Irish language at secondary level in Ireland and noted that many students believe that the Irish language is not ?taught as a language? and that too much focus is put on literature instead of the oral practice. Congress believed that the teaching of Irish ?as a language? would aid greatly in the enjoyment of the language at secondary level and that students would have a greater degree of fluency in the language leaving secondary level. While congress acknowledges the changes recently made to the Leaving Certificate Irish curriculum which places a greater focus on the spoken element of the course, they mandate that the VP Irish Language should build a strategy for the teaching of the Irish Language at secondary level with a view to having more students confident in the Irish language, with verbal fluency achieved through submersion by time spent in the gaeltacht.? The Common European Framework for Languages (CEF) provided a guideline as to the proficiency of language learners across Europe which emphasised the importance of the oral side of a language to improving fluency. USI said the changes in the leaving certificate in giving a higher emphasis and ratio in the examination process on the spoken word and the changes in the teaching structure are going in the right direction but need to be improved to be a more attractive subject to students.?While Irish students across the country are patriotic and proud of their native language, it is not as widely spoken across the Ireland as it should be,? Donoghue said, ?Gaeilge is a vibrant expression of our unique national culture, history and identity. The most essential differentiating characteristics of a culture are oftentimes contained within its language. Gaeilge, therefore, plays a paramount, pivotal role in the Irish cultural identity and it is a cherished core of all that is truly Irish. USI acknowledges how vital it is for us to do everything we can to preserve, nurture and extend the Irish language to students across Ireland. Because of this, we voted in Congress in favour of the Vice President for the Irish Language to lobby the department of Education and Skills to implement the CEF guidelines in relation to the examination of the Irish language at post-primary level.?

Tips

St Brendans First year Boys Basketball team

April April is one of the busiest months of the year in the garden. There are seeds to be sown, lawns to be moved, shrubs to be pruned, vegetables to be sown, plants to be feed. Things to do in April: Cut your grass. Your lawn will require regular mowing from now on. Keep the blades of your lawnmower high for the first few cuts. Feed your lawn with a good lawn feed, weed and moss killer Re-seed any bald patches in your lawn Pot up young seedlings Sow your vegetable garden if you haven?t already done so. Potatoes, leeks, summer cabbage, turnips, parsnips and lettuce can be planted outdoors Start hardening off bedding plants Fertilize Roses. You can also begin spraying roses for pests and diseases Control pests and diseases especially slugs and snails Feed plants in your garden using a slow-release fertiliser.

May Summer is nearly upon us. There are signs of summer everywhere. The days are getting warmer and more and more flowers are coming into bloom. Things to do in May: Start hardening off bedding plants. It is tempting to plant out summer bedding at this stage but it may be wise to hold off until at least the middle of the month as there is still a likelihood of late frost Clear out spring bedding and fertilize the soil Dead head spring bulbs Control pests and diseases especially slugs and snails Prune spring flowering shrubs Position supports around perennials that required staling e.g. Lupines Plant hanging baskets ( but keep in the glasshouse until the risk of frost has passed) Apply a slow release fertiliser to your pots and planted containers Water newly planted fruit trees & bushes Plant the main crop of potatoes. Early potatoes can be earthed up Feed your lawn with a good law feed, weed and moss killer if you haven?t already done so.
