A very long time ago there was an English king called Uther Pendragon He married a woman called Lady Igraine

and they had a son, Arthur King Uther had lots of enemies,

so Merlin, a magician, took Arthur away and gave him to a

friend to look after The friend never told Arthur that his

father was the King of England

When King Uther died, Merlin called all the Lords

together He told them that the person who could pull the magical sword Excalibur, from the stone it was in, would be

the next king of England The only man able to pull the sword out was Arthur, so he became the new king

Arthur was a good king When he married Lady Guinevere, her father gave him the famous Round Table as a

wedding gift Arthur ruled England with the help of his brave

knights One of them Sir Lancelot, fell in love with Guinevere When Arthur found out about it he sentenced Guinevere to death Lancelot saved Guinevere and they ran away together King Arthur was very angry and chased after them While he was away he left his nephew Mordred, in charge of the kingdom Mordred tried to take over, though, and Arthur returned to stop him There was a huge battle and

both Mordred and Arthur died When Guinevere heard what

had happened she went to France and became a nun Lancelot spent the rest of his life alone.

Hi Thomas!

How are you I hope your exams went well! Ive finished mine, thank goodness,

and now I’m at the Notting Hill Carnival in london It’s really amazing!

There are so many colourful parades to see the costumes, dancers and steel

bands are just fantastic and there are some great music performers and DJs I

even took a ‘Samba’ dance class today! The streets are crowded with people, so

the atmosphere is lively They say about a million people come to the Carnival

each year!

Theres also delicious carnival food that you can buy from street vendors! I’ve

already tried quite a bit of traditional West Indian food, like chicken, rice and peas

and corn soup Tomorrow Im going to try sugar cane that you hold in your hand

and chew!

Visit me next summer and maybe we can go together! Write soon.

Love,

Emily

This week in our ‘Culture Now’ page, we take a look at some of the noisiest and

most colourful festivals and traditions around the world All of these festivals have a

common theme: fire!

In Britain, a man called Guy Fawkes and twelve other men planned to blow up the

English Parliament and King James I on 5th November, 1605 Every year on this

day, people organise firework displays and build huge bonfires to burn dummies of

Guy Fawkes Children love to wave sparklers and sometimes people eat special

‘Bonfire Night’ food, such as warm soup, sausages or even baked potatoes cooked

around the base of the fire.

In the Shetland Islands, Scotland a similar festival called “Up Helly Aa” takes place

Every year, on the last Tuesday in January, local people take part in parades and fire

festivals to remember the islands’ link to the Vikings People dress up in Viking

costumes, drag a longboat through the streets and finally throw fire torches into it

and watch it burn.

Maybe you like to celebrate New Year with a bang? In some cities in Colombia,

people put little fireworks inside a doll with objects that bring unhappy memories At

midnight on New Year’s Eve, they burn the doll to forget everything bad that

happened that year In some villages in Scotland, people set barrels of tar on fire at

New Year and roll them through the streets They do this to burn up the old year and

let the new year in.

Read th e article W hich places are m entioned?

Scientists recorded a temperature of -89 °C there 1) in 1983 - the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth!

Antarctica isn’t just the coldest place on Earth, but 2) the wettest and driest place, too ‘But that’s impossible!’ you say Well, no actually! Ice covers 98%

of Antarctica In fact, it has 90% of all the ice and 70% of 3) all the fresh water in the whole world! So how can Antarctica also be the driest place

on Earth? Well, about the same amount of precipitation (rain 4) or snow) falls there as in the Sahara Desert Basically, that’s not a lot - less 5) than

5 cm per year In one interior region of Antarctica, called The Dry Valleys, the last time 6) it rained was about 2 million years ago! This is because 7) of very strong winds that drive away all the moisture in the air With freezing temperatures, no water, and no animal or plant life, conditions in The Dry Valleys are 8) a bit like conditions on the planet Mars!

Wonderdog Pulls Owner

from Car Crash

Endal the wonderdog, already named Dog of the Millennium and

Brightest Dog on Earth, made national news headlines again yesterday after a car hit his owner’s wheelchair outside a hotel

In 1991, Allen Parton was sitting outside the hotel when the speeding car threw him from his chair and knocked him out While he was unconscious, Endal rolled him over with his teeth into the recovery position After this, he got a blanket from his bag and covered him with it! The dog then got Allen’s

mobile phone out of his bag and held the phone up to his face Finally, he ran back to the hotel and barked until people came out to help Allen didn’t know C_

that Endal could do any of these things!

Mr Parton was disabled from the tragic accident For \ years now, Endal has been everything to him; his best \ friend, his banker, his travel agent, his home help and \ many other things ‘He even buys the ticket on the bus \ and collects it from the machine,’ says Allen ‘He has \ helped me in so many ways.’
