A little Brazilian history....


In the year 1500 a Portuguese man called Pedro Álvares Cabral sailed across the Atlantic ocean and discovered Brazil. From then on Brazil was controlled by Portugal and lots of Portuguese people came to Brazil to live.



Now, Brazil is no longer controlled by Portugal, it is independant and has its own government. Most people still speak Portuguese in Brazil and there are lots of other things left behind by the Portuguese people.

Miss Bevan and I visited Penedo recently, a small town where there are lots of original Portuguese buildings from many years ago. It was very interesting.
