🎨 Summer Art Challenge - Week 2 🎨

Our students have taken on the challenge of creating a piece of artwork every day for 30 days, running from Monday 8th June to Tuesday 7th July!

We're delighted to share some of the fantastic artwork submitted during the first week – well done to everyone who has taken part so far! 👏

There's still plenty of time to get involved. Every artwork you submit earns 1 Leadership Point, so keep those creative ideas flowing and send your work to Ms Furnells' Art Community Teams group. 🌟

Here is a gentle reminder of our upcoming events next week at Chatham Grammar. 📅 💫⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Bella, in Year 8, competed in the John Redding Swimming Gala at Medway Park on 13th and 14th June 🏊‍♀️⁠
⁠
Bella achieved personal best times in every race she entered and secured an impressive 3rd place in both the 200m Breaststroke and 100m Breaststroke! 🥉⁠
⁠
The competition was incredibly close, with just milliseconds separating the placed finishers ⭐️⁠
⁠
Bella has been working exceptionally hard towards achieving regional qualifying times and is well on track to reach this goal this year.⁠

We are incredibly proud of these fantastic achievements. Well done, Bella! 🤩

Pride Month: LGBTQ+ Icons 🏳️‍🌈👏⁠
⁠
Throughout Pride Month, we're celebrating some of the remarkable individuals who have made a lasting impact across music, sport, film, politics, science, fashion, and activism.⁠
⁠
Their contributions have broken down barriers, challenged perceptions, and helped build a more inclusive world for future generations.⁠
⁠
Today, we're proud to shine a spotlight on Tom Daley ⭐️

🏏🌟 SSG Cricket Competition 🏏🌟⁠
⁠
On Wednesday, a group of our Year 7 students took part in the Secondary School Games Cricket Competition at High Halstow Cricket Club.⁠
⁠
The team achieved an impressive 2nd place finish overall, narrowly missing out on the top spot after drawing on points for 1st place and losing out only on run difference 🥈👏⁠
⁠
Throughout the day, the students worked brilliantly together, growing in confidence and developing their cricketing skills with every match. It was also wonderful to see them making new friendships and supporting one another both on and off the field.⁠
⁠
A special shoutout goes to Jasmine, who was outstanding in the field with some incredible catches; Victoria, our star batter, who scored numerous boundaries; and Charlotte, an excellent all-rounder, delivering some fantastic bowling performances ⭐️⁠
⁠
The team won 5 out of their 6 matches, achieving some excellent run totals along the way. Most importantly, they had a fantastic day and represented the school brilliantly🌟⁠
⁠
Many of the students enjoyed the experience so much that they are now considering playing cricket outside of school as well!⁠
⁠
Well done to everyone involved, a fantastic achievement! 🎉
