C o f n ^ f

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
