Did you guess……?

The answer is that ALL of the photos were of Brazil!

All right?

Some wrong?

These photographs show what a diverse country Brazil is. It has lots of

contrasting landscapes and has some very rich and very poor people and

places. During this topic we will learn about many aspects of Brazil and it’s

people.

First things first then….

Here is Brazil, in the continent of South America

• has a very a long coastline

•Is 8, 511,000 square kilometres

•Has a specially created capital city called Brasilia

•Population speak Portuguese

•Coffee is the most important crop

•Much of Brazil is covered by an enormous rainforest – the Amazon.

•The river Amazon (the largest river in the world) flows through Brazil

As you can see by the blue bar graph Brazil has a lot

of rain all year round.

The line graphs show us that it is very hot in Brazil all year round. What do you notice about which months are the hottest?

The Brazilian people live crowd around the coast where it is easy to build and there are opportunities to make money

Hardly anybody lives in land due to the hostile environment of the Amazon rainforest.

There are some very famous

Brazilians! Can you think of any

more?

Do you recognise these 2 famous

formula one drivers – past and

present?

Brazil is not without its issues!

Cutting down the rainforest at a rate

of 20 football pitches every

minute!

Why are the Brazilians cutting down the rainforest?

To clear land for farming

And to ranch cattle

To mine for precious minerals

To provide homes and

hotels!

Adeus da esperança de Brasil I você apreciou a mostra e aprendeu algo sobre este país!

Goodbye from Brazil I hope you have enjoyed the show and learnt something about this country!
