Abstract

The objective of this research was to understand how cultures manifest the infant in a class of 4th year at City College in New Hope, PA Oriximiná. Participants were 29 children, 16 girls and 13 boys, mean age was 09 years. Children of the Amazon carry your story experiences a relationship with the countryside, with forests, with existing biodiversity; delighted with gifts everywhere and are represented both in the ndian as the imagination of the rustic and the water cycle that every year, interferes with the routine of coastal and city residences that are near the river banks. This particular environment, is part of the context in which school children New Hope are inserted. Thus, the "I" Professional and personal instigated me to observe the heterogeneity shared by children in the Amazon experiences at this school, immersed in a region covered by a "surrounded" green huge freshwater, which allowed the Amazonian man over the years, developing coping strategies to live and occupy this space in direct relation to their environment. It is a qualitative research, in which I sought, through participant observation and photographic recording group interview, understand the question posed by the research. The results showed that children's cultures are present in school but the children are visible and invisible by their peers and adults attending the school, due to the recovery of a legitimate culture over the knowledge produced by the children illegitimate. However, children break with the established standards and through symbolic play metamorphose reality and create a parallel world in which their children cultures emerge. Resist invisibility of their cultures, their meaning and thus the spaces that were not designed for them, but they have made their places. In relations between pairs give visibility to their child cultures have autonomy and freedom in choosing and organizing their play even with the repressive practices of the teachers.
