An inspiring song
I have been tagged by Abigail to write a post about an inspiring song. I don’t listen to much of the modern music of this century. But I do find inspiring the negro spirituals sung during the time of slavery – songs telling the life stories of those involved during this horrendous time. But the song that I really love is “I still call Australia home“.
This song reminds me of the times when I have been travelling, seeing the sights of the world, missing family and friends, but opening my eyes to the rest of the world – the people, the cultures, the similarities and the differences.
When travelling through Europe just the smell of a gum tree was enough to make me think of home, when in smog bound LA, that was enough to remind me of missing the clean air of home. Whenever I did arrive home, my first thoughts were, “I’m glad I live in Australia, particularly in Tasmania which is so clean and green compared to where I have been travelling.”
I am now going to tag five other students. You have to write a post about an inspiring song and then tag five other students to do the same. Make a link to their name like I have below, but also go to their blog to mention you have tagged them to write a post. Try to choose students from other schools rather than your friends. You need to copy what I have written here at the bottom of your post so they also know what to do.
Jessica from Australia, Hailey from USA, Pedro from Venezuela, LittleMiss from New Zealand and finally Michael from Hong Kong

What a great idea – feel free to go to my class blog and tag some of my Kiwi students. We are in New Zealand and the students are aged 11-13
