  • "We had a fantastic time with Fiona. She was so knowledgable and her activities were really well planned and engaging for every child in our tiny school (not an easy task to cater for juniors to 6th!) She met the children where they were at. She instantly built a really positive and purposeful rapport with them and they really connected with her. She is patient, entertaining and very professional. Our pupils are really eager for Fiona to visit us again!" - Croí na Coille CNS, Limerick
