Off on an adventure!!

Hello! My name is Wonderfish and I love adventure! I am exploring Brazil with my two friends Miss Bevan and Miss Goldsmith. I want to find out as much as I can! This is a great adventure and we are going to meet children that live in Brazil.


We have some questions to ask you:

- What is life like in Brazil?

- How do children live in Brazil? What do they like to do?

- Can we show them something about our lives in the UK?

- Does everyone live in the same way in the UK?

Your Questions Answered

On my adventures I have come across some answers to your questions. Let's have a look to see what I found out:

Children in Bristol have asked me these questions:

What kind of clothes do the children wear at school?
The children in Clarencio School don't have to wear a uniform at the moment so they can wear their own clothes. The school does have a uniform; it is a white T-shirt with an orange trim and orange shorts.


What kind of clubs do they have after school?

Clarencio School doesn't have after school clubs. The school day is different. Children either come to school in the morning or in the afternoon.

Some children come to school in the morning from 7am - 11am, then everyone goes home for lunch. From 2pm - 5pm another group of children comes to school to learn.

The school does organise activities in the break times which are very interesting. Sometime a capoeira teacher will come to visit and the whole school will participate. Sometimes there are art activities. Sometimes the children will organise a "passeato". They prepare information about an interesting topic or a problem and they go into the community to tell everybody all about it.

The last passeato at Clarencio School was about a disease called dengue fever. The children prepared information to tell people about how to stay healthy and stop catching this illness.


Would you like to organise a passeato? What would you like to tell people about?

I wonder what other schools are like? Do you think all schools in Brazil will be exactly the same? Why?
