Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 – the ticket included free milk from the farm. Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength – in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder will perform in order to highlight international poverty and debt.

THE KIWI

       The Kiwi lives only in New Zealand. It is a very strange bird because it cannot fly. The kiwi is the same size as a chicken. It has no wings or tail. It does not have any feathers like other birds.

        Kiwi are a significant national icon, equally cherished by all cultures in New Zealand. Kiwi are a symbol for the uniqueness of New Zealand wildlife and the value of our natural heritage. The bird itself is taonga (treasure) to Maori, who have strong cultural, spiritual and historic associations with kiwi. Its feathers are value in weaving kahukiwi (kiwi feather cloak)  for people of high rank.

            A kiwi likes a lot of trees around it. It sleeps during the day because the sunlight hurt its eyes. It can smell things with its nose. It is the only bird in the world that can smell things. The kiwi’s eggs are very big.

            Due to the cultural significance to Maori and the traditional knowledge about the bird, tangata whenua are a key skate holder in kiwi management. For a number of local kiwi and hapu throughout New Zealand, this relationship between tangata whenua and kiwi has been formally recognized as part of their Treaty of Waitangi settlement claims, which encompass specific references to species recovery work. This includes the Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998.

 There are only a few kiwis in New Zealand now. There is a picture of a kiwi on New Zealand money. People from New Zealand are sometimes called kiwis.

ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

Every year on February 14^th, couples exchange flowers, candy and cards to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day. How did this tradition begin? No one knows for sure, but there are several legends that have been passed from generation to generation. The most popular one is about a Catholic saint who lived in the third century.

St. Valentine was a priest in Rome. The Roman Emperor of that time, Claudius II, believed that unmarried men were better soldiers than those with wives. He made marriage illegal for young men. Valentine strongly opposed this decision, so he continued to perform weddings for young couples in secret. After a while, Emperor Claudius learned of Valentine’s actions and sent him to prison. According to the story, the priest then fell in love with a girl who visited him there!

In the end, Valentine was put to death on February 14^th. Before he died, he had written a letter to the girl he loved and signed it, “From your Valentine.”
