Soup Success! Harvest at Thorneligh ETNS!

On Friday the 16th of September 2011 – the Thornleigh community – parents, grandparents, guardians, children, teachers and SCP had their first attempt at soup making, and boy was it a success!
The story begins in the school garden in early September of 2010. The children, guardians, parents, teachers and staff of Thornleigh began to plant a garden. Some of the staff researched what plants/seeds we should plant and when in order to have a harvest at different times during the year and at Harvest Festival time.
Each Friday morning the Thornleigh Community took a trip to part of our Magical Arts Garden and began to plant tiny seeds. Whatever the weather the community diligently and patiently took care of the garden.
The children from second class (2010/2011) would give a gentle pat on my door and ask for the watering can. They then went to our outside rainwater barrel and watered the garden. The children from other classes took the coloured cobbled path to the compost bin and fed the garden.
