Hey Bloggers!
Today for the SLJ we had to create our own Kiwi jingle bells song. I found it challenging to come up with my own especially the first line. Once I got started then it became easier. I tried to use some Maori words in my jingle to make it more of a kiwi song. We live in New Zealand and the festive season is in summer. I have also added the step it up activity by recording myself singing my jingle. The difficult part for me is always recording myself as I am not very confident in hearing my own voice back because it sounds weird when I listen back to it. I hope you guys enjoy listening to my jingle. Let me know what you think?
Here is my Jingle slide
Here it goes... me singing my Jingle.
Christmas is celebrating differently in both the Southern and Northern hemisphere. The huge difference is the weather which determines mostly everything like the activities you would do, the types of Christmas tree you would buy, the types of presents you would receive and the time you would go to sleep. The Southern hemisphere much like here in New Zealand, because we are in summer people usually travel to the beach or park to celebrate this day occupying themselves with an outdoor BBQ, outdoor sport games such as cricket, swimming or just relaxing with the family making sand castles etc. Where in Northern hemisphere its common to stay inside to have dinner at home with the family and to go outside to play in the snow. In the Southern hemisphere it common to use fake Christmas trees where in Northern hemisphere they mainly use real Christmas trees. They also go to bed early because its winter and its get darker faster where in the Southern hemisphere we are lucky because we have daylight saving so we are able to enjoy longer days. Also the present you would receive in the Southern hemisphere would more likely be something that you could enjoy in summer where in Northern hemisphere you would receive something more indoor like board games or puzzles or some warm clothing etc. Its amazing how the weather has a great impact on how we celebrate special occasions. I feel lucky that I am in a country that we are able to enjoy our holidays outdoors even though I like the snow which also seems quite fun but that's okay because my family often goes to National park during winter season to enjoy the snow as well.
Thank you for reading my blog. Hope you enjoying your holidays.
Bye

I thought it was awesome how you included all the extra information about christmas at the end of your blog post!

It could be anything!
Nice job on including a video in post, it really made your song come to life!

Ka pai Marwah. Another fantastic blog post. Reading your facts reminded me about Christmas in England and you're right, we usually stay indoors and play games and eat food for most of the day. I enjoyed your song. Maybe next time you create a piece of music you could use Incredibox or a similar tool to make a backing track.
