Testimonials

• "Liz was so knowledgeable and has a genuine warmth about her and the children really responded to that. Her resources were fantastic and the hands on nature of the session was particularly engaging. The children were disappointed when their sessions finished up, they could have stayed with Liz for the whole day!" - Esker ETNS, Dublin

• "We were delighted to welcome Liz Tiernan to our school for her workshop all about native Irish trees. The children really enjoyed the session and especially loved the outdoor exploration aspect where they had the opportunity to go outside, observe and identify trees around the school grounds. Liz shared a huge amount of knowledge and passion about nature and trees, and it was lovely for the children to learn more about the importance of native Irish trees and our natural environment. The interactive elements, discussion and creative activities helped to keep the children engaged throughout the workshop. The outdoor activities and opportunities for hands-on learning were particularly enjoyable for the pupils and allowed them to connect with nature in a meaningful way. Liz created a calm and positive atmosphere and encouraged the children to observe and appreciate the natural world around them. At times, some of the information and concepts may have gone slightly over the heads of the younger children, however they still thoroughly enjoyed the experience overall and benefited greatly from the interactive and outdoor elements of the workshop. Thank you, Liz, for an enjoyable and informative visit to our school." - Harold's Cross NS, Dublin
