WORLD SOIL DAY
Thursday the 5th of December 2019 was World Soil Day! To celebrate we dispersed Seed Bombs in the wild grass areas at the front of the school. In Spring and Summer time we should have a stunning colourful wild area for the children and the bees to enjoy. Soil is so important to humans, it was nice to give it a gift on World Soil Day!

Wellbeing Week 2019
Thornleigh ETNS celebrated Wellbeing Week from the 27th- 31st of May. The theme for the week was #mindyourselfie, meaning 'take care of yourself'. Throughout the week, children took part in many fun activities promoting self-care of the body and mind.
Every morning, children started the day with 'Wake-Up, Shake-Up' in their lines. Other activities include; meditation, Qigong with SNA David Lowe, teachers V 6th Class students in a relay race, parents V teachers in a basketball match and much more!
On Friday, 31st May, Thornleigh held 'Go Rainbow Day', whereby children dressed in their favourite colour and walked a 'Mindful Mile'. As you can see from the picture above of our rainbow flag, the day was a great success!
