In STEM, students are exploring the exciting work that engineers do each day!

Students have begun the term learning about buoyancy. Their job is to use the materials provided to create a sailboat that can hold weight and continue floating. 

Students are putting their creativity into overdrive in Grade 3/4! They are currently working on creating a 3D maze that could be solved by using a marble. Students have to transfer a template to the base and then fasten the walls of the maze and ensure that they are strong enough to withstand the weight of a marble. 

Students have started looking at Leonardo Da Vinci. Although he was a famous artist, he was also an engineer, scientist and theorist who made many contributions to the world. The engineering challenge was to create an arched bridge out of only popsicle sticks that could stand on its own.

The first two weeks of term have been spent completing art work for an exciting, upcoming fundraiser. Students have been working super hard on their pieces and are excited to share these with their families.

Students have also started their entries for a competition through Dallas Neighbourhood House. The competition is a colouring competition and there are some exciting prizes to be won. 

We've had an exciting start to term 4 with the commencement of the 

BPS Soccer World Cup! 

With students selected from grades 3 to 6, our 8 teams include:

• Ayoubi's All Stars 
• Yianni's Yallah
• Wellbeing Warriors
• Cliffy Crushers
• Kenzie's Kebabs
• Tonkin's Titans
• Nealy's Nuggets
• Sheppard's Strawhats

Games will be running Tuesdays to Fridays throughout the term on the oval at lunchtime, so make sure you're keeping an eye on your favourite team! Who will be this year's champions? Watch this space to keep track of match scores and highlights.

On Thursday 17th, our 5/6 boys and girls basketball teams journeyed to the Craigieburn Sports Stadium with Mrs Cliff and Miss Sheppard. Throughout the day our students showed excellent teamwork and sportsmanship, and were excellent representations for Broadmeadows Primary School. We are very proud of our teams' efforts, with the girls finishing in 4th place and the boys finishing 6th.

Hola a todos! My name is Señor Esteban, and I am thrilled to join Broadmeadows Primary School. I come from the beautiful country of Colombia, known for its coffee tradition. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Bilingual Education and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Educational Leadership at Monash University. 

I am passionate about sharing my culture and language with all of you, and I am equally excited to learn from this wonderful school community. Besides my love for education, I am a big sports enthusiast. I look forward to creating a vibrant, multicultural learning environment together. ¡Nos vemos pronto!
