EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME / BRAZIL IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
1 / 31 October 2010
In association with The Highgate Primary School, The Junior School and the
Pefkios Georgiades Elementary School
Brazil is a country which is always in the news.
Perhaps that is because of developments in the rainforest, the achievements
of its expanding industries, or the exploits of the national football team.
It is also a rapidly-changing country, with huge contrasts in landscape,
environments, and cultures. It thus provides a suitable context for pupils
to study a wide range of topics which could contribute to the curriculum for
children of primary school age.
By studying the lives of two children from different parts of Brazil (Amazon
forest and the city of Rio de Janeiro), the educational series Brazil in the
Primary School, aims to initiate awareness of the country and its
multi-sided aspects.
