Our Roots of Empathy baby, Ryder, was back for a visit today! He's now 8 months old!
He has gotten bigger since we saw him last, and he has reached some new milestones. Ryder can sit up on his own, rolls back and forth, and is showing some signs that he wants to start crawling!
He gets up on all fours and tries to crawl, but then flops down onto his chest! He'll get it soon!

| Ryder had lots of smiles for us! |

| He's trying to crawl, but can't quite figure it out... |

| He enjoyed the taste of his toys! |

| He says 'good-bye' until next visit! |
It was our turn to present at our monthly assembly today. Most classes read poems or act out a play, but we decided we wanted to make a video! We have been following Commander Chris Hadfield on Twitter; we love looking at the photos he is taking and learning from his 'tweets'. Our favourite song is 'I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing)' that he wrote with Ed Robertson from the Bare Naked Ladies (Mrs. Waters had to explain to us who those guys were...). We decided to do a lipdub of the song! We split the lyrics up amongst our students and made plans of where we were going to film. We had a lot of fun creating the video, and Mrs. Waters used iMovie (for the first time) to produce it for us. It's not perfect, but the students of Heritage really enjoyed the finished product!
We plan on sending our link to Cmdr. Hadfield to see what he thinks!
We hope you like it!
Gr 4/5 student of Heritage School: You have done an amazing job creating your iMovie. It looks like there was a lot of planning and preparation for this 'final cut'. All of your motions fit nicely with the words in the song...well done! Keep doing more of this. It is a wonderful way to showcase your creativity and collaboration.
ReplyDeleteBaby Ryder is adorable! What an amazing opportunity for you all. Keep up the awesome work:-)
