After returning from their unforgettable trip to Auckland, our Grade 6 students took time to reflect by creating personal slide decks using Canva. Each student designed a 7-slide presentation to highlight what they enjoyed most, what surprised them, and how the experience made them feel.

This activity wasn’t just about making slides—it was about visual storytelling. Students used images, animations, and design elements to creatively express their thoughts and memories. It gave them a chance to process their experiences, share their favorite moments, and celebrate the friendships and challenges they encountered along the way.
The trip itself offered rich life experiences—from camping and kayaking to visiting Sheepworld and even learning special effects makeup.

Through their Canva presentations, students were able to capture the heart of those moments and communicate them in their own voice.

Our Grade 6 students took recently on a fun and practical challenge that combined math, technology, and real-world skills—the Lazada Shopping Task!

Students were shown a list of 10 different items for a limited time and had to:

1. Quickly note down the list before it disappeared from the screen.
2. Search for each item on Lazada and find the best possible prices.
3. Calculate their total spend and aim for the lowest net total.

The list included a wide range of items, from football shirts and Labubu dolls to instant noodles, the latest iPhone, and smart TVs.

💡 This activity helped students practice:

• Note-taking and memory skills
• Online research and comparison shopping
• Basic budgeting and arithmetic

The student with the lowest total spend was crowned the winner—showing great attention to detail and smart shopping strategies!
