Welcome to our June edition It’s great to have had some fine weather, but it definitely feels like winter is now on its way. From the minutes of our Community Association meeting this month: BMX Track – we need a good spell of fine weather to enable us to make more progress with the track, although we have noted that some keen bmxers are using the track just as it is. As part of Arbor Week Room 10 from the school have been planting trees around the back area of the track, these look great - thanks for all the work everybody. Cycle Way – a reminder to everyone who is interested, to please come to the Cycle Trails Trust meeting at the Sprig & Fern on Tuesday 21 June at 6pm. Mural – this is still underway although we do need some fine warm weather to allow us to get the sealer and undercoat on. This
may not happen now until August/September, as we need the wall to be very dry when we paint it. Village Green – In between the rainy days and showers the gardens in the village green have been given a spruce up by Debbie and Pauline. Thank you - we appreciate all the work that you have done. While work was being done a kind gentleman offered some peony plants that he no longer required. These have been planted in the gardens, thank you for these plants. Also we take this opportunity to thank John for keeping the green nicely mowed. Thanks to the businesses that support our newsletter each month. We look forward to seeing everyone at our AGM, which will be held next month, 5 July, at the earlier time of 7pm at Brightwater School. Your Community Association

One of Brightwater School’s new entrant classes has been learning about artists. Claude Monet painted pictures of flowers and gardens, and in this picture Tom Appleton (above) is painting daisies using sponges and brushes. Reichen in Room 13 said “The daisy paintings made us think about summer. We feel happy when we look at them.” Students also studied New Zealand artist, Shane Cotton. Libby said “His painting made us think about winter. The colours make us feel sad and cold.” Callum said “We used warm colours on the stormy background. We used sponges and card to make our paintings.” Allen Madox is also a New Zealand artist. Lily said “We liked the bright colours on the lines. We made our lines with card and brushes.” James said “We used the primary colours and mixed them to make secondary colours. “King of the Kumaras” Local Brightwater garden enthusiasts Charlie Symonds (left) and John recently dug up this MONSTER at their Redwood Valley patch, the exact location of which remains undisclosed. This impressive orange kumara weighs in at a hefty 3KG exactly.... that’ll do a couple of meals.... The secret to their growing success...well they were a bit cagey, but the words Super, Blood and Bone and a local nursery supplier managed to roll off the tongue.... and you must be patient for about 5 months til you harvest it... And if you look carefully it has the characteristics of a giant foot...
