Dyslexia Information Zoom Meeting

Details: Written by Lorraine McCarthy; Last Updated: 20 October 2020; Created: 07 October 2020; Hits: 414

October is Dyslexia Awareness month. As we know, 1 in 10 students present with Dyslexia in Irish post-primary schools (DAI 2020). To date, there is no agreed national or international definition for Dyslexia. Nationally, all relevant agencies (DES, HSE, NEPS) agree that it is when a student presents with difficulties in reading, spelling and/or writing, with such difficulties being unexpected in relation to an individual's other abilities and educational experiences.

Many parents of students with Dyslexia struggle to know how to support their child at post-primary level as the challenges are different to those experienced at primary level and the present Covid crisis has exacerbated this.

The Dyslexia Association of Ireland are hosting a Zoom webinar for parents on how to support their child with dyslexia at post-primary school. Please see document attached for further details. This webinar aims to give practical help and advice.

Plein Air Painting

Details: Written by Lorraine McCarthy; Last Updated: 29 September 2020; Created: 29 September 2020; Hits: 447

From the Art Room to the Outdoors

Plein air painting is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting and drawing in the landscape, and no better time to do that.

The practice goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists.

Last week our first year Art class went Plein Air and did some wonderful work focused on the ancient graveyard and the hills surrounding Tulla.

It was a bit like a hedge school with us all sitting on whatever rock we could find. It was great to get the masks off in a socially distanced environment, see each others faces and breath in the fresh air...

Well done on adapting to plein air so well....beautiful Artwork produced by these new first years .. lots of studies done that will make great finished pieces.

Mary Moran with First Year Art Students, Sept 2020.
