Ol! My name is Valentina. I am ten years old. I live in Bela Vista, a rural community near the city of Araraquara in Brazil.
Here I am, dreaming of the moon and stars. I want to be an astronomer when I grow up.
I share a house with my parents and my brother, Rafael, who is 13 years older than me.
I get up at the same time every day. The sun wakes me I dont need an alarm!
I live in Brazil, the largest country in South America. It has a 7,491-km (4,655-mile) coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. One third of all the people in South America live in Brazil!
I get ready for school. We dont have a uniform, so I can wear what I like. Its cold first thing, so Ill need to take my sweater.
I brush my hair I have to tie it back for school.
Its February, the start of the school year and early summer in Brazil.
I wash my face and brush my teeth. Im good to go now!
In Bela Vista, the climate is warm all year round. It rains a lot in summer, but is quite dry in winter.
The school is close to my house it doesnt take long to get there. Its nice walking when its sunny.
My cousin Luiz attends the same school, so he walks with me.
There are lots of students in Brazil, and not everyone goes to school at the same time. We go to the first session. There are two other sessions later in the day.
We join the queue for the breakfast club. All the students sit down to eat together.
We have bread and butter and hot chocolate for breakfast.
There are two school terms each year. The first is from February to June and the second is from August to December.
The students get together for assembly. The head teacher reads out a quote or short story with an important message.
We sing the anthem of Brazil. Students hold up the national flag.
After this, our lessons begin. I am in fifth grade. This morning we have classes in Maths, Geography, Science and Portuguese language.
I help the teacher find Bela Vista on the map.
Ive made a relief map showing the rivers and upland areas of our country.
The worlds second-longest river, the Amazon, flows through Brazil. It is surrounded by the Amazon rainforest, the biggest rainforest on the planet.
Weve been working hard, so were happy to go out to play for a while.
Before eating, we have to wash our hands to get rid of any germs.
We have fruit at break time. I eat outside with my friends.
Many fruits grow in Brazil oranges, mangoes, pineapples, bananas and some you might not have heard of like aai, carambola and pinha.
When we have finished eating, we play hopscotch.
I throw a stone into the shapes on the ground. Then I jump through the spaces to pick up the stone.
As well as hopscotch, we play games like Whats the Time, Mr Wolf? and marbles. For birthday parties, we play at smashing the piata.
In Science, we learn about different types of food and where they come from.
Our school gives us books, pencils, scissors and rulers, but sometimes there arent enough to go round.
I cut out pictures of foods of animal origin for a classroom display.
In Portuguese language class we have a test. Then we mark one anothers work.
We do homework in the last session before lunch.
In Brazil, the main language is Portuguese. We say Bom dia for Good morning and Boa noite for Good night.
I eat lunch in school every day. The meals are great! Most of the ingredients come from local suppliers.
We have very healthy meals there is always a range of fruit, vegetables and pulses on offer.
Its sausage, beans and rice for lunch today yum!
The cost of our meals is subsidised (partly paid) by the government.
When lunch is finished we brush our teeth, ready for the afternoons classes.
Bean stew with pork and rice is popular in Brazil. Po de queijo a type of cheese bun made with cassava or corn flour
