 The things that make me different are the things that make me, ME! We were inspired by a quote we “stole from the internet” for this weeks blog! It’s okay to sometimes “steal” things from the internet as it’s free to look and gather information for so many different reasons. So may we enlighten you to “The things that make me different are the things that make me, ME”! “Things that make me different are the things that me, Me” – Piglet, Winnie The Pooh. Hello Friends, Have you ever sat down and thought about what makes you, you? For me it's easier to have someone else tell me about me. But here I go giving this a go for the sake of blogging. I have many little quirks that make me Shan, obviously for this it's all positive and all love. The most important part of me is my brain. I am neurodiverse and that is my superpower, I bring a different perspective to the table (probably snacks too) and a lot of kindness because that’s what we need in this world. A different perspective and a bucketload of kindness. I try to always be kind to all my friends and when I say all my friends this includes ALL beings I come across. Snails, stick insects, the dog from down the road and it also includes in animate objects for example a bag or plastic plant. My kindness has no limits! I like to collect all kinds of things one of my collections I have is a coin collection and I guess you could say I am a collector of books. All kinds of books too. I do have favorites but it’s a long list and we don’t have the room. This is a shared space after all. I love to learn, if something sparks my interest, I will learn everything I can about it and then tell everyone little facts about whatever it is. It might be because someone's brought it up or I've just kindly volunteered the information because sharing is caring. Fun bit of information; “Hurkle-Durkle” is an old dialect term from the 18th century, I believe it’s from southern Scotland and it means to lounge around in bed long after you should have gotten out of bed. I feel that it is important to believe in something and that something for me is Unicorns. Like humans they come in all shapes, sizes and colours. We should always be accepting of all unicorns and humans no matter what and this is an important part of me as well, I believe that no matter our shape, size or colour we should be accepted. Unicorns I believe are always welcoming and accepting. There is just something so magical and free about Unicorns that makes me happy. I will forever be team Unicorns are real and no one can change my mind. I am a Disney princess at heart who also loves Tesla's, Lego, Delta Goodrem and Sparkly converse. I'm mad for the lion king, if you haven't watched the lion king, please do so ASAP! I have my heart set on learning all about the tech side of a tesla and I will build whatever Lego set I can get my hands on as long as I have somewhere to keep it. Delta Goodrem is a beautiful human with the voice of an angel. Shes an Absolut Queen! Sparkly Converse shoes are my happy place, you just can't not smile while wearing them. You could also find me at the sewing machine, I make scrunchies and all kinds of creative things, oh look at that we can add creative to my list of things about me. To sum this all up I am different and that’s okay because we all are and that my dear friends is AMAZING! Have a wonderful day! Your Friend Shan. What makes me Jess- Me!

What are your likes? Are yours like mine? What are my dislikes?
What are your dislikes? Are yours like mine? This is a quote I would like to share with you all, Fantastic Readers: "Things that make ME different are the things that make ME, ME!" What makes me ME? I'm honest because when it comes to saying things if someone bullies me, I will say it. I am very friendly and open-hearted to talk to. I love making new friends every single day and I'm very confident. I love helping people at school and at home such as at school. I am co- coordinator of making posters and labelling school supplies. I also wash dishes and do chores around the house whenever I get asked to by my family or sometimes I do it without being asked to. Happy weekend and great reading! Angelina This week I chose to write about all me! Let me tell you about Charlotte My likes and dislikes ● I like to do my nails, drink coffee from Starbucks, bubble tea, I love cooking and favourite my colours are purple and pink ● I like when people are honest with me but not too honest and when people show me kindness and respect. Sometimes I'm even very honest or brutally honest but this is the way I am. ● I’m kind, nice, caring, respectful, loyal and I'm a pretty young girl. ● I am a good friend and I love listening to Eminem song lose yourself. ● What are my dislikes? I don't like when people lie and break my trust when I'm friends with someone. Friendship is important to me. I also don't like it when people are not honest or truthful with me and I really dislike school at the moment that's why I'm so excited to graduate from school. What are your likes and dislikes or what are things that make you different from others? – Charlotte Top nine facts about Phillip C I am half Australian and part British. Even though I was born in Australia, I have British charm. I have researched both my Australian and British heritage and both go back a long way. My last name is not from Australia but it’s from Ireland. I found the meaning of the name Phillip, and it is quite analytical and sensible in nature, he is capable of achieving many things in life and in a spiritual form. I have an attractive personality and a magnetic charm. I am also smart and humorous. I like to show off my skills to the people around me My characteristics are: Spiritual, Intellectual Analytical/Sceptical. Do you have a Phillip in your life and is he like me and what qualities does he have? – Phillip. The things that make ME, ME! I am a very artistic person and my singing, dancing, modelling, acting, script writing and book writing is big huge part of me since I was little girl. I have lots of interests that are very important to me such as UfO aliens and the super natural spiritual topics that I was brought up with as a child. I love dogs and I was also brought up with dogs. Now I have my own dogs that I love very much. I have been living with a personality disorder, compulsive obsessive disorder and an intellectual disability since I was tiny little girl. My personality disorder affects me in these ways and my intellectual disability affects me understanding learning, academics and comprehension is a lot harder for me to retain information and process information but it has not been a bad thing it is just learning how to live with my disabilities. Accepting and embracing my personality disorder and intellectual disability has helped me so much to move on with my life and over the years. I saw an interview with Dylan Alcott. He said in his interview to embrace and accept your disability. His words really helped and inspired me to move on. I am doing so much better and my confidence has helped me in my every day life. I am very grateful for seeing that interview with Dylan Alcott and from his words I learnt a lot. Me as a person. That makes me, ME! I always dream about having my own in ground swimming pool that I have always really dreamed of. I also really love dolphins and the water. I am a very kind person and very compassionate and I am very determined, fussy, stubborn, funny at times and a bite crazy. Thank you for reading. - Gipsy

 We have so much to share and by saying “we” I mean everybody! If we think about our lives and how much we have achieved and experienced, we could blog forever!! This week our talented bloggers will enlighten you with something that they would like to share from their past, present or, something they look forward to in the future… In the future I may get my own house and own car so it’s part of my life. Maybe even a future wife. Everything is fine with me and we need save up our money to make us cool down and relax. – TJ A day to remember - The wedding of my older sister Lisa to Bob on the 10th of August 2010 at a lovely resort in Thailand. My whole family were in Thailand for the wedding even my Nana with her broken arm. A few days before, the wedding we had a Hens Day for Lisa, which was a lot of fun. The morning of the BIG DAY the girls gathered for breakfast before getting ready. Our dresses had been purchased in Melbourne and were a beautiful blue colour. My younger sister Sarah, my cousin Bec and myself were the bridesmaids. Our hair and makeup were done for us at the resort. It was a lot of fun and lots of laughter. Lisa looked stunning in her beautiful white dress and so did the bridesmaids! When it was time for the wedding it began to rain so we had to move inside. We had a baby elephant walk her down the aisle, it was adorable. The wedding service was amazing and so beautiful. We had to have photos inside due to the weather but it didn’t spoil it. The reception was in the resort and we partied all night. It was the most romantic day and I will never forget it. It was a honour to be a part of the big day. Have you been a part of wedding? What is Thailand known for in history? Thailand and its jungles, mountains, islands, Thailand is a Southeast Asian country. It's known for tropical beaches. - Jess C What will our world look like in the future? Hello Friends, Our world will always be changing and evolving, and we can never be 100% sure of what the future will bring. Our future world is currently left to our imaginations, world leaders will make promises for the future, scientist's will make calculations and research for the future world and children will grow to be the future. Now I'm going to jump into my opinions and beliefs here. All my opinions and beliefs are my own and meant always in the kindest way possible, now that’s said let’s get into it. I believe everything that we do in the present will affect the world in the future. This is part of the reason why it's so important to be conscience of our attitudes and actions towards looking after our home. You can't change the past however we can change the path we take in the future. So, we look at what we are doing, look at the person in the mirror, ask “how can I do better?” and change the way we are doing things. I think EVERYONE including myself can always do better. I’d like to leave this world better than I when I found it (obviously I didn’t discover earth I'm just saying). We need to remember that this is what we will pass on to the next generations, so let's not turn this planet into a dumpster fire because that’s just a little bit rude. I don’t believe that I will have children because I don’t want them (side note: when people say this, they are not offering you a challenge). I do like to think of the children of others who will inherit this world from us, I want them to have the best, most amazing experiences this life has to offer which includes a peaceful, clean, safe, welcoming and hospitable world. So basically, I hope that our future will be a positive and bright one, that we find ways to solve conflicts in a slightly more peaceful way and become a kinder, more considerate world. Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you have an amazing day and remember you are loved. Your friend Shan. Hello my sensational and wonderful readers! My name is Angelina and today I’m going to talk about ONE special day to remember. Remembrance Day is actually very important because we remember all the Air force, Navy and Army heroes who have fought in wars for many years for our nation. At school we wore poppies and we had to purchase the poppies. The money raised goes to the RSL to help returned service men and women. Although we didn’t have a service at 11am a memorial service is held and people remember fallen soldiers. The last post is played and a minute of silence. These services are held all over the country but generally at the RSL Cenotaph. People wear poppies to remember those who have died or suffered in wars and conflicts. There are not only red poppies which are called the Flanders poppy, but there are other colours for e.g. purple is for the animals, white is for the nurses and the black poppy represents all those who have died during the war or after. How do you feel about Remembrance Day? Have you ever attended a service? LEST WE FORGET – Angelina The Future You may have heard the term past, present, and the future. The start of my future lies on next Friday with my meeting plan about supported independent living for me so I can choose both who I can live with and were I want to live. The start of my future lies within next year with my extra day of work for me. This gives me more money on the side. The start of my future lies within my placement hours at Amstel. I am excited about working there in the kitchen and to support my Umbrella Support mates as well. This helps me plan to run my own food business which will be called “Eat Healthy, Spend Less” This my future. In your future what are you going to achieve? – Phillip My Future For my future I will be concentrating on saving money and trying my best with finances for my needs and emergencies. In my recent past I have been very irresponsible with my finances and now I am trying to put my irresponsible ways behind me. I am also concentrating on my singing, song writing, podcasting, blogging writing, my psychic development and looking forward to doing new exciting things. Working on my mental health, anxiety, my wellbeing, my physical health, losing weight, being more positive and patient with myself are also my goals. Next year I would really like look at doing some jazz ballet lessons, acting lessons, photographic modelling, modelling photos and script writing. There is something very important to me and that is to write a book on UFO’s and alien life, it is something I have been really wanting do of for quite some time. I would love to see America including Disneyland, Alaska, The Northern Lights and Egypt. They are my most favourite places but I am scared of flying. Thank you for reading my blog. See you soon – Gypsy Last week I went on my first holiday without my family and it was so good. I am proud of myself. I handled it all so well. Each night I facetimed my family which made it much easier. I took Jeff ( the Umbrella bear) for a journey and boy did he have a great time. We caught taxis to all our venues it was so easy. We had vouchers to help reduce the price. We went to all the theme parks, Movie World, Sea World, Wet and Wild Dreamworld. The first time we went to Movie World we rode the Joker pink roller coasters, Superman ride, Green lantern ride and I did a ride which scared me a tiny bit, it shoots up fast and it’s so much fun. Jeff did a carousel ride for the first time and loved it. The next day we went to Wet and Wild which is a waterpark. Waterparks are so fun especially on the hot days. The weather was perfect on the Gold Coast. We did all the waterslides even one called Mammoth Falls it was so cool, I rode the ride backwards a couple of times. My friend and I then had a rest day as we were going to the footy. We played mini golf a couple of times and uno the card game, it was a very relaxing day. Saturday Night we went to Heritage Stadium it was Gold Coast Suns girls vs Sydney Swans girls playing. We were sitting with the Senior Swans men’s players James Rowbottom, Callum Mills, Tom Hickey and many more. We were spotted on TV a couple of times during the game, it was good to see so many people supporting both teams. The Swans took home the win and were playing their first final series this year. The next day we went to Sea world, it was better than I expected. I did a wooden roller coaster called Leviathan it was so good and it’s fast I also did the Storm Coaster roller coaster that you get wet when you go down into a cave. The queues were not too bad during the day. We even saw some pelicans as we walked in the area they are kept in. I saw my favourite animals which are polar bears, I even got a keyring it is so cute and have glitter on it. We even check out Nickelodeon land where there are loads of kids rides and we saw the Teenage Ninja Turtles while we were there and they did some cool poses. On Monday I went to Dreamworld which is a great park especially if you find crowds overwhelming on that day it was so quiet when we went on the rides and it was that’s the best feeling. We did the steel taipan roller caster a couple of times. It was a great and I even did a motorbike ride it was fast me and my friend did a different pose on each rides. I got a photo with holding a koala which is a great memory to have, we also rode the vintage cars, and even did this ride called the claw that swings forward and back it was cool. My friend finished with the giant drop this one I was too scared to do but at least I have done it once. On Tuesday we did all the rides we did on the first time again we even did wild west falls four times as the lines was short we watched the all-star parade where all the characters come out like Scooby doo, the Looney Tunes characters, Joker, Batman, the DC superheroes and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. As you can see this was a great experience I would love to do it again Jeff loved sitting on my lap during the planes rides we watched loads of movies on the plane like Annie and into the woods. They were also listening to music too. - Scarlett   This week our bloggers were very keen on a few different topics and there was a lot of discussion. We couldn’t decide on a single topic so, we decided on our “free” writing day! It’s choose your own adventure! Enjoy! HELLO FRIENDS, For this month's choose your own adventure blog I'm going to write about “choose your own adventure” books. You know the ones that have the choices at the bottom of the page with the page numbers to turn to... for example: “to continue down this path turn to page 35” and it will have a second and sometimes a third choice and their page numbers. I would read the twist-a-plot books, I think there were about 13 of these books with all different stories. These books would throw me through a loop, I didn’t realize that these books existed, and my choices would usually get my characters in some sort of trouble. I think these books must have been interesting to write for the authors and hats off to the editors. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the books, and they were brilliantly written I just would love to be in the room when these books were written and edited. I feel like it would be a fun, interesting and probably a completely chaotic process. Imagine writing a book and having to plan for all the different outcomes in the story and making sure everything is placed in the book just right so that it still makes sense and flows nicely. It may feel like I’m rambling on but it’s just such a interesting concept to me. In our real life we get to choose our own adventures and learn all the fun lessons along the way and I think like life the books teach you that with every choice there is a consequence, every action a reaction. Just unfortunately for me none of my real-life choices have let me into a pot of gold... YET. Wouldn’t that be nice? Remember that you are in charge of your own adventure, wether it be in a choose your own adventure book or in reality and you can always choose a different direction. Our lives are just like books, something new on each page and there’s always a fresh chapter with new and exciting things waiting for us. Maybe today you’ll choose to read a twist-a-plot book or maybe you’ll make a big life decision whatever it is I’m proud of you and I support you! Have a wonderful adventure Shan Today’s blog is about my dog My dog is always in my room when my mum and dad are away. I am the one who takes care of her and lets her out because sometimes she needs to go to the toilet. I always feed my dog and sometimes I will walk with my dog. My dog breed is a small poodle, her name is Keira and she is a cute black dog. She is kind of the old lady in my house. My dog and I have been together for 12 years and I love her. – TJ This week it’s a mix of different things as today we are all doing our own topic, this week I have chosen to talk about a show I have been watching with my boyfriend and the recommendation along with it. The show is called Lucifer and all of its seasons are on Netflix right now, Lucifer is about the literal devil himself taking a break from hell in Los Angeles alongside with his favorite torturer demon Mazikeen, he runs a nightclub named Lux and parties all night relaxing until an incident occurs and he has to help a local detective find justice and punish the evil doers. The show takes us into the lives of Lucifer and the Detective named Chloe with a string of crime and murder happening with her daily job. Lucifer eventually gains trust in Chloe and he becomes her civilian consultant in cases. This show is both sarcastically funny and drama filled with family problems, fun fact this show is also part of the DC Universe – Holly Today we were told “it’s free choice”” well I hit a brick wall! What to write about? I went for a walk to find ideas and guess what I decided - UMBRELLA SUPPORT and what it means to me, it is a great way to learn NEW SKILLS and I have learnt the following. 1 Blogging 2 Social skills 3 Talking to others especially in front of a group 4 How to meet new people 5 Over coming fears about unknown situations 6 Dealing with changes 7 Believing in myself I could talk for so long about this group, they are wonderful caring friends who always give you support. We are so lucky to have an amazing support team lead by Cindy along with Jessy, Deni, Delia, Keirra and recently Krystle and Sheridan They mean so much to me. Do you have a special group or a friend that is there for you and gives you support? If you do how lucky are you! I know I am to have made great friendships since 15th March 2021 with this organisation. Love from Jess Hi dear readers! I’m back after my mum’s wedding! Woohoo! In today’s blog I’m going to be telling you all about my mum’s wedding due to me not being here last week. My mum's wedding was absolutely incredible and a magical moment in my whole entire life because honestly it was! I love them both so much because they both make me smile when I see them both happy together. They were both meant for each other always. I love weddings, do you love weddings? You might be wondering what did I do at the wedding? Well, it was amazing and magical because my mum was a beautiful bride with a beautiful dress. She looked on point and stunning (as always) and I love the man whom she got married to. I love my life because they both make me happy. thank you for following my life journey right now, thanks for listening. – Angelina Just think about how if you could go back into your family history and discovered there was Royals. You could trace back in your ancestors and they might be related to the royals as an example. When you watch the show (who do you think you are) the English actor Danny Dyer has Royal ancestors. There are lots of royalties in pop culture’s such as in Disney and non-Disney movies. Not many countries have Royal’s such as Israel are the best example due to their prophets they don’t have monarchy and they don’t have royal’s because they considered God as their King. Both Europe and Asia have Royals there have been another 10 countries abolished both the Royals and monarchy. There is a thin line that I have royalty in my family history Do you have hidden royals in your family history? – Phillip Last week I chose the topic of my year 12 graduation. Please bear with me. I know I have been writing about it for three weeks. This year I'm in year 12 at high school. I am so excited to be graduating from school. It has been an exciting and interesting year at school. I already got my jumpsuit outfit which is a beautiful dark purple colour called grape and I got off a website called JJ’s house. I ordered my jumpsuit last month and it arrived last Monday. I am getting the bottom of my outfit altered because it is too long and I can’t wait to wear it on my graduation night. I’m bringing my books home next week. For me it means that it is the end of school and no more studying for me this year. Finishing year 12 is a big achievement. I should be proud of myself and I’m looking forward to next year. Do you remember when you graduated from school or are you graduating from school this year? – Charlotte Mystical means a spiritual mystery, psychic belief. I believe in Angels, Fairies, mermaids and unicorns _ Do you believe in the mystical? For me I can see and feel them especially when I am at the beach it's my calm safe place or when I am at home and it's quiet. Do you have a special place ? I have some psychic abilities which are picking up on my inner spiritual and entities talking to me since I was a little girl and some are my best friends that I still talk to each day and my spirit guides and Angel guides talk to me and protect me. My psychic abilities also include… Seeing shadows Seeing shadows around people Seeing auras around people I really strongly believe my spirit guides are Angels Fairies Mermaids Unicorns Astrol Body Spirit Guides (Spirit Guides) I am also very big believer of animal spirit guides; I really strongly believe and feel that my animal spirit guides are: Dolphins Dogs Koala Bears Wolfs Bears Panda Bears Crystals are very spiritual calming and healing. The clear quarts is the king of crystals and the amethyst is the queen of crystals and I have lots crystals that I love very much that I cannot part from. The universe is surrounded by the stars and the sky and are a really big, massive spiritual place. My most favourite spiritual mystical colour is Purple and my favourite colour is Purple. I am a very spiritual. Are you a mystical person? Gipsy   MUSIC!! It entertains us, it can help us relax, it can change our mood and it can bring so much joy! Our bloggers this week share their wonderful world of music. This is yet again a great read… This week it’s time to sing and scream out as we talk or better yet sing about this week’s topic music, so this week I’m going to talk about my favorite musical that my boyfriend introduced me to and saw with him, Hamilton. Hamilton is about the American revolutionary war and the founding fathers of America but mostly about Alexander Hamilton. This music was made and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. This musical has won multiple awards like the Tony awards for best musical and a Grammy for best for best musical theater album. The Broadway musical has been going on since 2015 when it premiered back in January 2015. This musical is currently in Hamburg in Germany right now. You can currently watch the musical movie on Disney plus. The songs are so catchy and easy to sing along side and the acting and the history is worth watching this musical, it has drama and tragedy and humor, this musical is part history part rap and the productions is amazing to watch and work the stage, part of the stage has a moving center in the middle to replicate walking dancing and practical movement needed for this musical, especially the gun battles and a popular song in the play called Hurricane. This play is also about taking a chance to change the way we think about our future and our legacy. – Holly HELLO FRIENDS, In the past week when mentioning Meg Mac, I've had people say, “who’s that?” or something along those lines. I assume usually that because I listen to Meg Mac or Thelma Plum that everyone else has heard of them too. Not everyone will deep dive into Australian music and the musical talents that we bring to the table, shout out to anyone who has. Sometimes it’s a pure coincidence that you stumble across a great musician. I found out about Meg Mac through a friend of mine, she would have “never be” by Meg Mac playing in the car. Then I went and found more of Meg Macs songs to listen to and fell down the rabbit hole of Meg Macs music. I just love her unique voice and the way she takes you on a journey with her music. I spend a lot of time talking about Delta Goodrem, I know you all know who Delta Goodrem is. Shes been mentioned a few times in at least two blogs. Delta brought Thelma Plum on her show Christmas with Delta to sing “Have Yourself a Merry Christmas” with her, seeing and hearing them sing together was beautiful. Thelma is another artist with a unique voice, I love her sound but also love the way she performs. All three artists are authentically themselves when they perform and sing, which is beautiful to see, and I love that they are Australian. Obviously, I love other singers too but it's so very important to celebrate our artists here in Australia, they are people that work so hard to bring us joy and make us feel. Let's all find a new Australian artist to listen to and discover. Also remembering all the Australian artists that we know and love! Have a wonderful day my friends – Shan - x Hello welcome to our blog today. Scarlett and Jess have decided to do their blog together as they both had the same topic - The Wiggles! The Wiggles started in 1991 in Sydney with four members Greg, Murray Anthony, and Jeff. They all had their own colours. The idea came from Anthony who wanted to write a children’s album. At the time he was studying to be a teacher. They commenced tours around Australia and they even had wiggly mascots Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, and Captain Feathersaw. Later they grew into a large band and had backup dancers. They often perform at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. SCARLETT’S VIEW The Wiggles make me feel in the mood for dancing whenever I hear any of their songs. I remember laying on the couch when I was little watching the Wiggles on VHS tape. Some of the songs they have written are Fruit Salad, Monkey Dance, Toot Toot Chugga Big Red Car, Hot Potato, and Crocodile Hunter with Steve Irwin. They are great songs and they are great songs to dance to with your family. These day the Wiggles have new members Lachlan, Simon, Tsehay and Anthony still sings these days. In my opinion, Toot Toot Chuggga Big Red Car is the most popular Wiggle song as it has been heard by loads of people around the world. The Wiggles is one of the most popular childhood bands in Australia. My favourite Wiggle is Greg because he gets the audience involved with the dance moves. JESS’S VIEW I love the Wiggles because of their colourful outfits. Each member has their own colour. My favourite was the yellow Wiggle which was played by Greg and later by my favourite Wiggle Emma. I remember watching them with my sisters. We loved their songs and would sing along doing the actions to such songs Chugga Chugga Big Red Car, Fruit Salad. Do you have a favourite song? Has our blog produced a childhood memory? Did you like the Wiggles and can still sing their songs? We can! Happy reading and dancing by wake up Jess and Scarlett the dinosaur. Last week the topic I chose was High School Musical 3 senior year. Let me start by telling you about the movie HSM (High School Musical). The high school musical 3 senior year the movie was released on the 24th of October in 2008 in the USA. It was filmed in Salt Lake City USA and it was directed by Kenny Oretega. I like It because it talks about the senior students graduating from East High School. I can relate to the movie because I’m graduating from high school this year. I love the songs and I'm excited to be graduating from high school. Have you seen any of the high school musical movies or if you have seen It what is your favourite movie? – Charlotte The Voice Intro: I want to sing for people, I want them to have the music it’s a nice feeling. Quote by Delta Goodrem What I think about the voice (music). It is a way to express our inner voice and emotions in both music and songs, what I am telling you next is list of songs that suit my voice The songs that suit’s my voice are: Jessie’s girl by rick Springfield. I can relate to this song due to someone that I really like but she is all taken by someone else. Another song Angels brought me here by Guy Sebastian I can relate to personally. If you don’t know Guy was the winner of Australian Idol between this song and Dear Life by Delta Goodrem is a very personal emotional song for me. Do you feel the same? My last song I’ll stand by you by The Pretenders. I love this song because there is someone that I really care about and I want to protect her from any form of harm. How do you feel about these songs? Do they stir a memory for You like ME – Phillip It's about Gorillaz they are my favourite band. I like all music and it makes me relaxed and it calms me down but sometimes when I turn off my music it makes me easily angry because sometimes the noise around me can get too much for me. The Gorillaz was created by both Damon Albarn and the artist Jamie Hewlett, from London in 1998 the year of the monkey. – TJ My most favourite singing star is Britney Spears. I have always wanted to be a singer and I have been singing since I was a little girl. I remembered when I was four years old girl my mum always told me that I had been making funny singing sounds since I was 2 years of age and she always thought it was really funny. I taught myself how to sing but I never had to push myself, I just new how to sing it just comes to me naturally. I never had the confidence to take it further but now I have made the steps to work on my voice by doing singing lessons so I can record my music and I would really love most of all to record a music album in a recording studio and write my own songs. At the moment it is just the beginning of my song writing lessons. Song writing is about brain storming and coming up with all different ideas and being in touch with your surroundings, feelings, and self-expression. Song writing is very different to writing a script or writing a book or journal or a blog. I find that writing a script and a blog or a journal is so much easier than writing a song but writing a song is all about the learning process and the more you learn the better you get at it. With writing a song I find that I am to really putting all my thoughts and thinking into it. It can be very challenging but at the same time I am creating music that I will be able to sing and it mean the world to me. This is first time in my life that I have taken charge in what I really love the most and has made me the happiest that I have been in my life and one day I really hope to share all my music with the world. Thank You Gipsy   MUSIC!! It entertains us, it can help us relax, it can change our mood and it can bring so much joy! Our bloggers this week share their wonderful world of music. This is yet again a great read… This week it’s time to sing and scream out as we talk or better yet sing about this week’s topic music, so this week I’m going to talk about my favorite musical that my boyfriend introduced me to and saw with him, Hamilton. Hamilton is about the American revolutionary war and the founding fathers of America but mostly about Alexander Hamilton. This music was made and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. This musical has won multiple awards like the Tony awards for best musical and a Grammy for best for best musical theater album. The Broadway musical has been going on since 2015 when it premiered back in January 2015. This musical is currently in Hamburg in Germany right now. You can currently watch the musical movie on Disney plus. The songs are so catchy and easy to sing along side and the acting and the history is worth watching this musical, it has drama and tragedy and humor, this musical is part history part rap and the productions is amazing to watch and work the stage, part of the stage has a moving center in the middle to replicate walking dancing and practical movement needed for this musical, especially the gun battles and a popular song in the play called Hurricane. This play is also about taking a chance to change the way we think about our future and our legacy. – Holly HELLO FRIENDS, In the past week when mentioning Meg Mac, I've had people say, “who’s that?” or something along those lines. I assume usually that because I listen to Meg Mac or Thelma Plum that everyone else has heard of them too. Not everyone will deep dive into Australian music and the musical talents that we bring to the table, shout out to anyone who has. Sometimes it’s a pure coincidence that you stumble across a great musician. I found out about Meg Mac through a friend of mine, she would have “never be” by Meg Mac playing in the car. Then I went and found more of Meg Macs songs to listen to and fell down the rabbit hole of Meg Macs music. I just love her unique voice and the way she takes you on a journey with her music. I spend a lot of time talking about Delta Goodrem, I know you all know who Delta Goodrem is. Shes been mentioned a few times in at least two blogs. Delta brought Thelma Plum on her show Christmas with Delta to sing “Have Yourself a Merry Christmas” with her, seeing and hearing them sing together was beautiful. Thelma is another artist with a unique voice, I love her sound but also love the way she performs. All three artists are authentically themselves when they perform and sing, which is beautiful to see, and I love that they are Australian. Obviously, I love other singers too but it's so very important to celebrate our artists here in Australia, they are people that work so hard to bring us joy and make us feel. Let's all find a new Australian artist to listen to and discover. Also remembering all the Australian artists that we know and love! Have a wonderful day my friends – Shan - x Hello welcome to our blog today. Scarlett and Jess have decided to do their blog together as they both had the same topic - The Wiggles! The Wiggles started in 1991 in Sydney with four members Greg, Murray Anthony, and Jeff. They all had their own colours. The idea came from Anthony who wanted to write a children’s album. At the time he was studying to be a teacher. They commenced tours around Australia and they even had wiggly mascots Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, and Captain Feathersaw. Later they grew into a large band and had backup dancers. They often perform at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. SCARLETT’S VIEW The Wiggles make me feel in the mood for dancing whenever I hear any of their songs. I remember laying on the couch when I was little watching the Wiggles on VHS tape. Some of the songs they have written are Fruit Salad, Monkey Dance, Toot Toot Chugga Big Red Car, Hot Potato, and Crocodile Hunter with Steve Irwin. They are great songs and they are great songs to dance to with your family. These day the Wiggles have new members Lachlan, Simon, Tsehay and Anthony still sings these days. In my opinion, Toot Toot Chuggga Big Red Car is the most popular Wiggle song as it has been heard by loads of people around the world. The Wiggles is one of the most popular childhood bands in Australia. My favourite Wiggle is Greg because he gets the audience involved with the dance moves. JESS’S VIEW I love the Wiggles because of their colourful outfits. Each member has their own colour. My favourite was the yellow Wiggle which was played by Greg and later by my favourite Wiggle Emma. I remember watching them with my sisters. We loved their songs and would sing along doing the actions to such songs Chugga Chugga Big Red Car, Fruit Salad. Do you have a favourite song? Has our blog produced a childhood memory? Did you like the Wiggles and can still sing their songs? We can! Happy reading and dancing by wake up Jess and Scarlett the dinosaur. Last week the topic I chose was High School Musical 3 senior year. Let me start by telling you about the movie HSM (High School Musical). The high school musical 3 senior year the movie was released on the 24th of October in 2008 in the USA. It was filmed in Salt Lake City USA and it was directed by Kenny Oretega. I like It because it talks about the senior students graduating from East High School. I can relate to the movie because I’m graduating from high school this year. I love the songs and I'm excited to be graduating from high school. Have you seen any of the high school musical movies or if you have seen It what is your favourite movie? – Charlotte The Voice Intro: I want to sing for people, I want them to have the music it’s a nice feeling. Quote by Delta Goodrem What I think about the voice (music). It is a way to express our inner voice and emotions in both music and songs, what I am telling you next is list of songs that suit my voice The songs that suit’s my voice are: Jessie’s girl by rick Springfield. I can relate to this song due to someone that I really like but she is all taken by someone else. Another song Angels brought me here by Guy Sebastian I can relate to personally. If you don’t know Guy was the winner of Australian Idol between this song and Dear Life by Delta Goodrem is a very personal emotional song for me. Do you feel the same? My last song I’ll stand by you by The Pretenders. I love this song because there is someone that I really care about and I want to protect her from any form of harm. How do you feel about these songs? Do they stir a memory for You like ME – Phillip It's about Gorillaz they are my favourite band. I like all music and it makes me relaxed and it calms me down but sometimes when I turn off my music it makes me easily angry because sometimes the noise around me can get too much for me. The Gorillaz was created by both Damon Albarn and the artist Jamie Hewlett, from London in 1998 the year of the monkey. – TJ My most favourite singing star is Britney Spears. I have always wanted to be a singer and I have been singing since I was a little girl. I remembered when I was four years old girl my mum always told me that I had been making funny singing sounds since I was 2 years of age and she always thought it was really funny. I taught myself how to sing but I never had to push myself, I just new how to sing it just comes to me naturally. I never had the confidence to take it further but now I have made the steps to work on my voice by doing singing lessons so I can record my music and I would really love most of all to record a music album in a recording studio and write my own songs. At the moment it is just the beginning of my song writing lessons. Song writing is about brain storming and coming up with all different ideas and being in touch with your surroundings, feelings, and self-expression. Song writing is very different to writing a script or writing a book or journal or a blog. I find that writing a script and a blog or a journal is so much easier than writing a song but writing a song is all about the learning process and the more you learn the better you get at it. With writing a song I find that I am to really putting all my thoughts and thinking into it. It can be very challenging but at the same time I am creating music that I will be able to sing and it mean the world to me. This is first time in my life that I have taken charge in what I really love the most and has made me the happiest that I have been in my life and one day I really hope to share all my music with the world.
