www.brightoninternational.in

Only in a healthy body can stay a healthy mind. To bring this idiom closer, Brighton organised a week long activity to make students learn about health and ways to stay healthy. The week witnessed various activities from Inter-School cricket competition, 2 km Marathon to salad decoration and Clay modelling. The week ended with a gala fest attended by parents. Tanmay Trivedi of KPS stood first in the marathon, whereas Deepanshu Singh, AyushKumar stood second and third respectively. The Inter School cricket tournament was won by Brighton beating KPS. In this thrilling encounter, Brighton won the toss and elected to field first. In stipulated 15 overs, KPS garnered 113 runs only to be chased down by Brighton in 12 overs. Riyesh played the captain’s knock by scoring 35 runs. Winning the trophy, a first of its kind for Brighton in sports will be cherished for a long time.

“Success is a Delicious Dish. Patience, Intelligence, Talent and Ability are Key Ingredients. But Hard Work is that Little Salt that makes it Tasty.” Here another chapter of RAYS is ready for your reading. It's my privilege to get a chance once again to converse with you through this magazine. This quarterly magazine endows you with an insight of Brighton's day to day activities in its premises and out of the premises. Brighton lays more emphasis on providing platforms for the students to get maximum exposure in various fields. The session 2012-13 had remunerated prominence towards communication (Communicating in English) along with various other activities. The high level of participation and enthusiasm of students towards the chores of the school proves the kind of encouragement and motivation what they've received from their teachers. They have brought laurels to the school at various inter- school competitions and are still in the process of doing the same. Students had tried to add colours to this edition by their accomplishments. Brighton vows to provide opportunities like this to make the students dynamic in all components of their life. I would love to take opportunity to thank my teachers as well as the parents to make this hercules job done in the stipulated span. Being together and work together can do miracles in the coming days, let's do the same in the coming session too.

No money, No life,Every one is telling us.But the true advice of the life nobody is giving to us

Health is Wealth - Ojaswi Dubey (Class - VIII)

"Failure is the key to success." Success can be achieved by constant struggle, confidence and positive thinking, positive attitude is also very useful in getting success. Success can be described in many words like gaining of wealth and status etc.

To get success we have to sacrifice many things, have patience and do as much hard work as we can. It is also said that to win something we have to lose something.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

All in the world depends on heart,Every poor as rich do have it,We all are puppets of heart,It pumps and make us fit.

I love all the fun that summertime brings,except of course just one or two things,Except for the ticks and spiders and bees,Except for the sunburn and rashes from heat,Except for the mosquitoes that suck on your skin.Except for the weather that's humid and hot,Except for the warm nights when I sleep in a cot,Except for the smog, the dust and the grime,But other than that I love summer time.

An apple a dayKeeps the doctor awayIf he knocks on the doorShow him the core.

We eat to time.We eat to grow.We eat to indulge ourselves.

I love food, I love foodIt makes me feel really good.Yummy and nutritious food.gives me the superb mood.

A Student's life is empty, needs teacher's effort enough to fillit.Life is hard at times.When he is stressed for a test, forcing himself to find his strength

Life is great and interesting,Tasty as you achieve your goalsand you learn your way around.Life is graphic, gloomyas you knowthe school year is coming to an endAfraid you have to say good bye, to your friends and people who you hold dear.

When we have good health,We have the richest wealth,But there's a price we must pay,To promote our health.Our bodies are like motor cars, for long life they ask,right oil and right care,I am the richest guy in the world,When I lost my wealth,but surely I posses a good healthHave a good health and enjoy the life.

Armadillos resemble pocket dinosaurs they are the only armoured mammals and they belong to the same family as ant-catchers and sloths.Though they belong to the order edentata, which means without teeth, Armadillos have 14-18 primitive teeth, all molars, in each jaw. The giant Armadillos may have a total of 80-100 teeth! The Armadillos skin is covered with leathery plates which are connected by flexible bands of tissue so that it can move its body easily. These bands are usually numbered in three, six or five. Armadillos are found mainly in South America, whereas they are equally at home in the pampas, arid rocky regions, marshes and dense forest. Only one species the nine banded Armadillos is found in North America. They eat huge quantity of insects and play a major role in pest control, though some people feel they do more damage by uprooting crops while digging for insects. They have an enlarged claw for this purpose and use their long tongues to slurp up their meal. South Americans and Mexican-Indianshave considered Armadillo meat a great delicacy for centuries. They use trained dogs to hunt the Armadillos down. The animal armour gives it no protection against dog bites but enables it escape into thick thorny bushes where neither humans nor dogs can follow. Only the three banded armadillos can roll itself up into a tight ball to evade predators.
